In this episode, Ron and Kristin reveal that Alzheimer’s is the most feared disease in the United States—more than cancer, more than heart attacks. A 2024 survey by the Alzheimer’s Association found that over 66% of Americans fear memory loss more than death. As of 2025, over 7.2 million Americans aged 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s. That’s one in nine. And by 2050? Nearly 13 million. Behind every diagnosis is a caregiver. In 2024, over 19 billion unpaid hours of care were provided in the U.S.—worth more than $400 billion.

Ron and Kristin not only consider cause and effect, they provide viable solutions to keep your brain healthy.

Join Ron and Kristin as they break down leadership on this important topic.
