Just because mom or dad had it doesn't mean you're going to have it. We can either turn those genes on or make sure they stay turned off.
Imagine witnessing a loved one’s battle with dementia and deciding to dedicate your life to preventing that suffering for others. That’s exactly what Kate Kunkel did. In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with Kate, a dementia prevention specialist who has transformed her personal pain into a mission of hope and education. Kate's journey began after seeing the devastating effects of dementia on her mother.
Determined to help others avoid the same fate, she dived into research and developed a program focused on brain health and dementia prevention. Her mantra? 'Losing your mind is a choice'. During their conversation, Kate and Stephan tackle common myths about brain health. Think brain games are your ticket to cognitive longevity? Kate busts that myth wide open.
She also challenges the notion that memory loss is the first sign of trouble, pointing instead to personality changes and even new cravings for sweets as early indicators. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Kate offers practical advice on how to keep your brain in top shape. She emphasizes that lifestyle choices play a crucial role in maintaining cognitive function, debunking the idea that aging inevitably leads to mental decline.
From diet to mental stimulation, Kate provides actionable steps to safeguard your brain. This episode is packed with eye-opening insights and leaves you with a sense of empowerment. Whether dementia runs in your family or you’re just keen on keeping your mind sharp, Kate’s advice is invaluable. Tune in for a conversation that’s not only informative but also deeply inspiring.
