My Mom Has Alzheimer's. Am I Next? | The 5 Brain-Health Moves to Make Right Now

If your mom or dad was just diagnosed with Alzheimer's — and now every forgotten word feels like a warning sign — this video is for you. In this episode, I answer the question directly: does a parent's Alzheimer's diagnosis mean you're next? What does family history actually mean for your risk? And what are the first moves you should make right now? This is personal for me. My mom and my grandmother both had Alzheimer's. And when my mom looked at me and said "I hope I didn't give this to you," I stopped hoping and started digging.
