Earlier this year, podcast episode #65 - we spoke to Lisa and her daughters Stacy and Natalie. They told us about how they were Living Well with Alzheimer's and improving using lifestyle and personalized approach. Her cognitive decline had stabilized and seen small, but significant improvements in brain function.  This episode we review some of the elements  that have led to their success:

1) Hiring a personal assistant for Lisa as opposed to a caregiver to force her to do things

2) Inspecting & moving out of a water damaged "moldy" home and why they did this

3) How they continue to iterate and push back against her Alzheimer's process, some tools and tricks that are working for them every day.
