Ahead of Alzheimer’s stands at the forefront of a new era, one where brain health and wellness become a national priority, early detection becomes standard, and Alzheimer’s is no longer a passive diagnosis, but an active, manageable condition. Our show brings together patients, families, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and thought leaders to explore the science, stories, breakthroughs, and policy conversations that can help people understand risk, recognize possibility, and act sooner. In this episode, Emily Kaplan speaks with Louise Fisher, whose husband, Alan, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s after a long career in public health. Louise shares how early diagnosis gave their family time to make decisions, travel, plan, and help Alan take part in research that could shape what comes next in Alzheimer’s care. She also talks about caregiving with honesty, humor, and grace. For Louise, that has meant building the right support team, protecting Alan’s dignity, and learning when it’s kinder not to correct every forgotten detail. Watch the episode to hear Louise’s story and why she believes life does not end with diagnosis.
