230: Dementia: What It Is And How To Avoid It with Mitchell Clionsky

In this week’s Midlife Love Out Loud Podcast episode, neuropsychologist Mitchell Clionsky discusses dementia, including its types, prevention, and lifestyle factors affecting cognitive health. Clionsky emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and lifestyle changes to potentially halt the progression of dementia.  He explores the risks of over-the-counter medications with anticholinergic properties, the impact of THC on cognitive function, and the minimal effects of diet on dementia prevention.
