My Parent Had Alzheimer's. Does That Mean I'll Get It Too?

If you've watched a parent or loved one experience Alzheimer's disease, it's understandable to wonder what that might mean for your own future. Does having a family history mean you're more likely to develop dementia? And how much of it really comes down to our genes?
In this episode, we unpack the relationship between family history, genetics and Alzheimer's disease. We explore the difference between genetic risk and rare inherited forms of dementia, explain what the ApoE4 gene can tell us (and what it can't), and look at how lifestyle, health and environmental factors also influence our brain health. We also discuss genetic testing, when it might be helpful, and why your family history doesn't have to define your future.
Because while our genes are part of our story, they certainly don't get to write the whole book.
