In this episode, Cady Coleman shares her experiences of being isolated in space and how they helped her isolate during the pandemic. Dayna talks with Dr. William Justiz about what families need to do when recognizing a loved one's memory issue. They discuss why trust between neurologists, the patient, and family is so important. They provide ways to help deal with family members that are in denial about the problem. Dr. Justiz clarifies what Alzheimer's medicine is and why it's not a cure. He also discusses how dealing with his own mother's Alzheimer's helped him and affected his approach with patients.

“I realized that I am losing being present in this amazing time, and what happens when I'm up there for six months in the space station and something makes me crabby. Am I going to lose that time too?” - Cady Coleman
