These facts are likely contributors: one in three seniors who die each year has Alzheimer\u2019s or another dementia; and Alzheimer\u2019s is the fourth leading cause of death in California.<\/p>\n<p>Sproul reports the scary part is that many people often misinterpret Alzheimer\u2019s symptoms as natural signs of aging or other health issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis switch-up is more common than you think,\u201d she says. \u201cBut with a disease that is the fourth leading cause of death in California, it\u2019s important now more than ever for the public to be educated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>In Absolute Trust Talk\u2019s Episode #023 \u2013 \u201cKnowing Alzheimer\u2019s\u201d \u2013 Howe and Sproul discuss:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What exactly Alzheimer\u2019s is and what it does to the body<\/li>\n<li>Vital warning signs<\/li>\n<li>How patients are diagnosed<\/li>\n<li>The advantages of early detection<\/li>\n<li>How crucial it is to plan ahead financially<\/li>\n<li>What the Alzheimer\u2019s Association is and how it helps families and individuals impacted by the illness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The podcast can be downloaded on the Absolute Trust Talk podcast page: <a href=\"https:\/\/absolutetrustcounsel.com\/023-knowing-alzheimers-with-family-care-specialist-dori-sproul-of-the-alzheimers-association\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/absolutetrustcounsel.com\/023-knowing-alzheimers-with-family-care-specialist-dori-sproul-of-the-alzheimers-association\/<\/a> along with a free downloadable resource and exclusive tool: \u201cKnow the 10 Signs \u2013 Because Early Detection Matters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It can also be downloaded on iTunes: <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/absolute-trust-talk\/id1371742254?mt=2\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/absolute-trust-talk\/id1371742254?mt=2<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal for Absolute Trust Talk is to get together with leaders to break down important topics into thought-provoking, approachable and easy-to-consume content for our community,\u201d Howe says. \u201cIt\u2019s always a little bit surprising how much people don\u2019t understand or know when it comes to preparing for their future and the future of their family. I was shocked by some of the statistics about Alzheimer\u2019s and just how widely it\u2019s impacting individuals and families across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Howe adds, \u201cPartnering with Sproul was a no-brainer to spread the word not only about what the Alzheimer\u2019s Association does, but to highlight the disease itself. Alzheimer\u2019s is a rapidly growing national health crisis, and the more we all understand, the better. We recommend listening and sharing this episode, because one way or another, this disease will touch us all if it hasn\u2019t already.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sproul is also eager to get this important information out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to educate the public on what the normal signs of aging are compared to signs that need follow-up up with a physician. These are health conditions that the greater public needs to know about,\u201d Sproul says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Absolute Trust Talk:<\/strong><br \/>\nEducating at every step.
