Alzheimer’s Breakthrough with Dr. Josh Helman, MD

What if we could finally uncover a cure for Alzheimer’s by learning from the families who’ve lived through it? In this episode, I interview Jennie Erin Smith, author of “Valley of Forgetting”, to discuss the realities of clinical trials, the human element behind the research, and the hope that still drives the fight for an Alzheimer’s cure.Jennie shares heartfelt stories of resilience and the challenges faced by both families and researchers.
