## Resource

There’s no manual for aging—and even less guidance when dementia enters the picture. In this episode of Get Ready for Better Aging, Jacqui Clark sits down with neurologist and researcher Dr. Katherine Coerver to unpack what families are missing when it comes to memory loss. From delayed diagnoses and gaps in the healthcare system to the emotional toll on caregivers, Dr. Coerver explains why dementia care needs a complete rethink. She highlights the critical role of early intervention, accurate diagnosis, and proactive lifestyle changes—including exercise, sleep, diet, and socialization—in supporting brain health. The conversation also explores groundbreaking clinical trials and why diverse participation matters. Most importantly, Dr. Coerver offers a message of empowerment: dementia is not a personal failure, and there are steps families can take to improve quality of life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating cognitive decline or planning for healthier aging.
