Leeza Gibbons on Facing Alzheimer's: Steps to Protect Your Brain

I believe in our ability to find ways to make the most of what we have, and when you love someone or care for someone with Alzheimer's, the caregiver often gets sick or fails at a faster rate and dies before their diagnosed loved one because the stress is so overwhelming.
When television personality Leeza Gibbons faced the reality of Alzheimer's in her family, she didn't just accept it—she took action. In this episode of The Brain Warrior’s Way Podcast, Leeza joins Dr. Daniel Amen to talk about her personal journey through the challenges of having both her mother and grandmother diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Leeza shares the steps she’s taken to safeguard her own brain health and avoid the same fate.
Her story is one of resilience and proactive care, offering hope and practical advice for anyone concerned about their brain health. Leeza discusses the impact of hormonal changes, the dangers of loneliness, and the crucial role of social connections in maintaining a healthy brain. This episode is a must-listen for those who want to understand how to take control of their brain health and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's.
