This week on the Exercise Is Health podcast, Julie and Charlie sit down with Dr. Concetta Forchetti of AMITA Health to discuss dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and brain health.  Dr. Forchetti specializes in neurology with special interests in Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and memory disorder.  She disucsses the difference between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, the genetic risk factors involved, and what we can all do to help prevent or delay the development of Alzheimer’s.

If you would like to connect with Dr. Forchetti, you may do so by calling (847) 981- 3630 or by going through the AMITA website here.

As a special bonus on this week’s episode, we added an interview with our friend Kari-Ann Ryan, who is a tremendous advocate for Alzheimer’s disease.  You can learn more about the work Kari-Ann is doing by liking her team’s Facebook group here as well as donating to her fundraising site here.
