Alzheimer's Hits Women Twice. Here's What You Can Do About It with Dr. Heather Snyder

Description
We don't talk about Alzheimer's enough—and women are paying the price. We are more likely to develop it, and more likely to spend years caring for someone who has it. Two thirds of dementia caregivers are women. One in four is still raising her own kids at the same time. And the lifetime cost of care? Over $400,000, mostly uninsured, mostly falling on her. Today we're changing that conversation. Dr. Heather Snyder of the Alzheimer's Association brings science and straight talk—on why women are more vulnerable, research on what you can do right now to protect your brain, and how to navigate a healthcare system that doesn't always take you seriously. This one's important, beauties. Share it wide.
