Jennifer Fink – Creator of the Fading Memories Podcast http://www.fadingmemoriespodcast.com Jennifer Fink created the Fading Memories podcast because she wanted to help other families cope with the daunting task of caring for Alzheimer’s or dementia patients. Her mom had Alzheimer’s for more than 15 years so she has a lot to share. She shares stories from other caregivers who have walked this same path. The goal of my podcast is to be a voice of knowledge and inspiration. Hearing these stories at any moment when those are most needed is why she chose the podcast platform. Since all of her podcasts are videotaped, Jennifer brings an inventory of great knowledge to Sage Stream. She will help us reach family caregivers with selected live video streams too. Launched on May 1, 2018, the show has regularly covered healthy lifestyle options for maintaining brain health. Guests include gerontologists and neuropsychologists who give their professional advice on aging and brain health.
