Welcome to the Season 3 Finale of Living Our Best with Memory Loss! In this special episode, our hosts Bob, Denis, and SuAnne—who are all living with a memory loss diagnosis—are joined by renowned Alzheimer's researcher, Dr. Gregory Jicha.
Dr. Jicha offers a powerful and hopeful look at the latest breakthroughs in Alzheimer's prevention and treatment, including the new FDA-approved drugs Leqembi and Kisunla, which are changing the biology of the disease for the first time. He also provides an exciting update on the potential of GLP-1 agonists like Semaglutide (often used for diabetes and weight loss) and the clinical trials that could make it a new tool in the fight against memory loss.
This episode is packed with encouraging insights, but remember: this is not a substitute for medical advice. We are not doctors, and any treatment options discussed should be explored in consultation with your physician.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
