In this episode, Dr. Zaldy Tan explores how to live well with memory loss and what an Alzheimer’s diagnosis means for individuals and the people who love them. Drawing on his own experience caring for family members with Alzheimer’s, he discusses the questions many of us carry about forgetfulness, aging, and the fear of losing our independence. Together, they discuss how to stay connected as memory changes, make important decisions early, and approach caregiving with compassion—including for yourself.
