Could addressing hearing loss be a key factor in preventing Alzheimer's? Dr. Young Trinh joins us to tackle this critical question, sharing a deeply personal narrative from the final days of the Vietnam War. We examine the shortcomings of our reactive healthcare system and discuss the urgent need for a shift towards preventive care and early detection, particularly in the realm of Alzheimer's disease.
Dr. Trinh recounts his transition from a general internist to a focused dementia care practitioner, driven by his firsthand experiences with the inadequacies of current Alzheimer's treatment and prevention. We highlight the crucial role of primary care physicians in integrating memory assessments and preventive measures into regular health check-ups. By addressing the 12 modifiable risk factors identified by the Lancet in 2020, we can make significant strides in Alzheimer's prevention. Our discussion calls for a proactive approach to healthcare, emphasizing the need to prioritize prevention just as we do for heart disease and cancer.
In our final discussion, we explore the profound impact of lifestyle changes on reducing Alzheimer's risk, with a particular focus on managing hearing loss and other modifiable factors. Dr. Trinh sheds light on the latest advancements in Alzheimer's treatments, including anti-amyloid medications, and the importance of early intervention. We end on a heartfelt note, reflecting on the importance of community and support in this journey, eagerly anticipating future meet-ups to continue this vital conversation. Join us for an episode filled with insights, expert advice, and a call to action for better Alzheimer's care and prevention.
