In this episode of The Mind Change Podcast's Emotional Drivers series, Heather McKean explores the emotional factors behind dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, noting a significant 200% increase in dementia cases since 1990. She explains Alzheimer’s as the most prevalent type of dementia, originating from Alois Alzheimer's discoveries in his patient, Auguste Deter. Heather discusses how emotional dissociation and the urge to suppress painful memories contribute to these conditions, with recent research linking Alzheimer’s to metabolic issues like "type 3 diabetes." Dive in! Discover how addressing these emotional roots could potentially prevent and even reverse Alzheimer’s.
