In this episode of The Matt Feret Show I interview Lisa Skinner, a certified dementia behavioralist practitioner and author of Truth, Lies, & Alzheimer’s: Its Secret Faces, a book for patients and loved ones about the progression and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Lisa shares her personal experience working with Alzheimer’s and dementia patients and provides helpful information about how to navigate the challenges of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. She also breaks down the progression of degenerative brain disease, treatment options, and shares caregiver resources.

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire.
