The Emerging Role of Blood Tests in Improving Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis

Lori La Bey explores the new path of utilizing blood tests to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. She speaks with two professionals in the industry and one person living with dementia but also received several questions from our audience that she will be asking our panel as well.

Dr. Teodora Stoica is a Medical Science Liaison for ALZpath, an Alzheimer's Disease diagnosis company. With her strong neuroscience and science communication background, Teodora provides valuable resources to clinicians regarding ALZpath's products, namely ALZpathDx, a simple blood test available now that tests for Alzheimer's pathology in the brain.

Dr. Lawren Vandevrede is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at UCSF and his goal is to provide outstanding clinical care to patients with cognitive problems and their loved ones. His clinical and research interests are in advancing the care of patients with neurodegenerative disorders, either through the development of novel therapeutics or increasing our understanding of the disease process.

Ginger Smith is living with dementia and has stepped into an activist and advocate role speaking her truth about living with dementia and raising awareness for all dealing with it. She regularly participates in Dementia Chats educational videos sponsored by Alzheimer’s Speaks as well as many other organizations.

Learn:

  1. Is the blood test just for Alzheimer’s disease or all different forms of dementia?
  2. What does the blood test look at?
  3. Is it a finger prick or a test tube of blood?
  4. What is the theory behind the diagnosis?
  5. Wasn’t the Amyloid Plaque Theory disproved years ago? Why do we keep hearing about this?
  6. How accurate is the test?
  7. What is the benefit of early diagnosis?
  8. How will this affect my medical insurance, driving, and independence in the future?
  9. Will there be additional tests in the future once diagnosed?
  10. Is this test covered by insurance?
  11. What is the turnaround time for the test?
  12. Will there be counseling associated with positive results for patients?

We’ve all been trained to think people living with a dementia diagnosis and Dementia and the Arts is all about breaking that myth. Dale Marie Latimer never did art prior to her dementia diagnosis.

By looking at her work I think most of you will be shocked by that. We invite you to sit down and enjoy this conversation and be amazed by Dale’s talent. Get tips on resources to get inspired and walk away feeling uplifted.

Dementia and the Arts - Busting Stigmas By Highlighting Possibilities Dementia and the Arts™ educational videos were developed to lift the voices of people living with dementia while raising awareness of their abilities. We discuss the when's and why's of how they got involved with art, along with what they get out of creating it, and other people's reactions to it. Individuals share the techniques they use, how they adapt as the disease progresses, and how their emotions are expressed through their work.

We know Dementia and the Arts know no boundaries and feel it's important to be inclusive of all people no matter what form of dementia they are living with. We work hard to accommodate time zone differences around the world so we don't exclude people due to their location.

Learn More Here https://alzheimersspeaks.com/dementia-and-the-arts/ In 2024, we changed our structure to feature individuals on an episode as well as including the care partner's voice to share their thoughts on how art can improve the quality of life for a person living with dementia.

Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder All levels of artwork and all forms of art are welcome. Here is a brief list of types of art: painting, coloring, woodworking, photography, dance, song, music, poetry... and more.

    • The diagnostic process and the difficulty in getting an actual type of dementia pinned down.
  1. Like Cancer, Dementia is a category, not an official disease like Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body Dementia, Vascular, FTD, CTE…
  2. We also dive into the benefits of exercise.
  3. The importance of the Phrases – Nothing About Us Without Us and Nothing About Me Without Me
  4. Organizations that tout having a “Token” person living with dementia on the board… and the impact of that.
  5. Truthful’s Blog on dementia symptoms and strategies.
  6. Using a cell phone for strategies, pictures to help remember things or events, calendars, and reminder alerts.

Our Panel today consists of Craig Hanke, Ginger Smith, Harry Urban, Laurie Scherrer, Jennifer Bute, and Truthful Loving Kindness who are living with dementia. You will hear about when they got diagnosed, how their diagnosis changed over the years, and how they are living life well with a form of dementia.

Some of our panelists have been living 15 to 20 plus years with dementia!

Join us as we listen and learn from their lived experiences! Dementia Chats™

You can also watch the program on YouTube at

https://youtu.be/ulSIssz8-W0?si=ubOoi7UsLEQ1cG1u

Educational Panel – Videos Raising Voices of Those Living with Dementia Dementia Chats™ was created in 2012, to educate people living with dementia, and their care partners including family, friends, professionals, and advocates. Dementia Chats™ positions our panelists to be the true experts. They are those diagnosed with some form of dementia.

Our panelists vary from program to program, depending on their schedules. New voices are always welcome to join us. Lori La Bey, the founder of Alzheimer’s Speaks facilitates Dementia Chats. She learned how essential it was to listen to those diagnosed. Her mother lived for 30 years with dementia. Lori found that people living with dementia had great insights and creative ideas for care, and felt their voices needed to be lifted. Those diagnosed show us how to be inclusive in new ways.

Our Panelists become spokespersons for themselves and others living with dementia positioning them as advocates, and many say it gives them a new sense of purpose and pride which allows them to continue to live a dignified and purpose-filled life. Learn

Adaptive Publications Providing Social, Cultural, and Spiritual Engagement

Lori La Bey talks with a variety of founders who are providing a variety of adaptive reading publications. This is a fabulous show that can be life-enriching for not just those living with dementia but for all older eyes! I think you will be amazed at all the resources we discussed and why they were developed.

Laurette Klier is a career educator-turned-passionate advocate for adaptive publications for elders in life review. Her series, NANA’S BOOKS uses nostalgic art and literature in considerate formats to facilitate meaningful communication and unite generations.

Nikki Jardin Publisher and Co-Founder of Mirador Magazine - an award-winning, adaptive text publication.

Luke Gilligan is the founder and CEO of Resense, a company that creates innovative and restorative products for individuals living with Dementia. Luke has a passion for care and creating unique, dementia-friendly products and experiences for individuals living with Dementia.

Eric Kolb is the Executive Director of Songs & Smiles. The nonprofit uses dementia-friendly singalongs and magazines to keep families connected during the Alzheimer's journey.

Ann Aubitz is the Co-owner and Publisher of Kirk House Publishers and FuzionPress. She is proud to present the Reminisce Line of reader-friendly books that is filling a huge gap for those living with dementia as well as our elders who are avid readers and are finding typical offerings either too difficult or too easy to read.

Lessons Learned:

  • How each person saw firsthand the need for adaptive reading publications in different ways
  • How enabling people to continue to read had a major effect on health and wellness.
  • Why a coalition of Adaptive Publications is critical to getting the word out these tools are available.
  • How are these products different and why?
  • Examples of how these "social prescriptions" are meeting a huge need in the reading industry.

Here is a bit about everyone we will be talking with today.

Kitty Norton is a former NBC Assistant Editor. She left her job to join her sister in co-caring for their mother, Gloria, who was living with vascular dementia. Kitty created and directed Wine, Women, & Dementia to honor this journey with her mother, to spread awareness of the caregiver side of the equation in dementia, and to celebrate family caregivers - to let them know they are not alone and that they are worthy of being seen and respected alongside their dementia person on this difficult road to the end of life.

Beth Rigazio (Producer) most recent feature, Freak Show, premiered at the Berlin Film Festival, starring Alex Lawther, Abigail Breslin, and Bette Midler. It was produced by Maven and Flower Films. Beth previously sold a half-hour comedy pitch, Tor-mentor, to NBC with America Ferrara and is best known for writing the feature, Raising Helen, which starred Kate Hudson. Beth also fills a respite role as a caregiver for her friend’s father who has dementia.

Allyson Schrier is a former family caregiver to her husband with dementia. That experience led her to create Zinnia TV, an app that streams videos engaging for and digestible by people with dementia to help reduce stress for them and those caring for them.

Rosanne Corcoran is the Host and Executive Producer of Daughterhood The Podcast: For Caregivers. She is also Daughterhood’s Director of Content Strategy. Rosanne cared for her mother with vascular dementia over a span of twelve years, the last six in her home with her husband and children. After experiencing first-hand the stress and isolation caregiving brings along with the lack of meaningful resources for caregivers, she created Daughterhood The Podcast in 2019. She has also been a Daughterhood Circle Leader since that time.

Veronica Shanklin is a dedicated advocate, speaker, and champion for Alzheimer's awareness and caregiver support. Through a decade of experience as a full-time caregiver for both her mother and grandmother, she founded a non-profit, Dementia Care Warriors, to provide vital resources and education for those caring for loved ones with Alzheimer's and related dementia.

Lexie Fields co-cared for her mother, Gloria, who was living with vascular dementia with her sister, Kitty Norton from 2016- 2021. Lexie manages The Schooner Restaurant on the Oregon Coast and has a passion for farm-to-table foods throughout the world.

Ashley Douglass is a mother of two and a wife of one. She has taught middle school for 26 years and loves to spend time with her family, go to the theater, and travel.

Grace Douglass helps care for her mother with Alzheimer's from a distance. She shares her mother's passion for health and science and is an epidemiologist for the Maryland Department of Health.

Matt Perrin spent 8 years caring for his mom Rosemary who was living with Alzheimer’s disease, while supporting his wife Lindsay who was caring for her dad Steve who was living with Lewy Body Dementia--all while raising their 3 school-aged girls.

Pete started in law enforcement in 1983 and has worked various jobs in municipal and county law agencies, patrol, water patrol, and corrections.

Since 2009, Pete is a federal first responder working for the National Disaster Medical System responding worldwide to disasters, COVID, and national special security events. His passion is education and he has been an EMS educator since 1987, prior vice president of the Wisconsin EMT association, magazine contributor, and lecturer, and continues teaching EMS at all licensure levels from first responder through critical care paramedic. Pete also teaches for Aurora Healthcare, Froedtert Healthcare, and Gateway Technical College.

We are so lucky to have Pete with us today with his vast experience and insights. I’m really looking forward to this conversation.

Sam’s story offers a raw, unfiltered view into the challenges one faces when beginning to lose cognition, including the fear of the unknown; the urgency of the decisions that have to be made; and the tribulations of navigating a broken healthcare system all while balancing the desire to live a full life, a comfortable life, and a life of service to others.”

Lori La Bey talks with Mike and Kim Barnes who over the last five years have found themselves navigating problems they never saw coming from their parents: Alzheimer's, pacemakers, COVID, pneumonia, and the tough decision to move parents into retirement communities.  They've learned to balance the many facets of parenting aging parents and parenting their college-age kids, while building their own careers.  Together they've realized that so many adult children go through the same trials with their parents, yet hardly anyone talks about it. Most families struggle in silence. That's why they created a community to provide information, resources, and support.

People around the world will learn of the African culture and how their beliefs there are very different most other parts of the globe.  This is essential to know in order to raise awareness and educate the public in Africa, as Berrie Holtzhausen will tell us today. Most of us understand the disease is the same all over the globe, but the challenges can be very different and difficult to overcome if cultural beliefs aren't incorporated.  We will learn how influencing these beliefs is happening through Berrie and his work through Alzheimer Dementia Namibia by shifting mindsets of old beliefs to heartsets recognizing the humanness of each and every person.  Learn how you can help too.

Lori La Bey will be talking with Author Patti Davis about her new book FLOATING IN THE DEEP END How Caregivers Can See Beyond Alzheimer’s. Now most of us understand how difficult dealing with a dementia diagnosis is, but now add to that journey your father is not only a public figure but is President Ronald Reagan. This is Patti’s story which started in 1994, when her dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. For the decade of her father’s illness, Patti felt as if she was floating in the deep end, President Ronald Reagan tossed by waves, carried by currents, yet not drowning. Her lifelines were her faith and a stubborn resolve to look past the cruelty of the disease in order to learn from it.

Pattihas authored many books, including The Long Goodbye. Her support group, Beyond Alzheimer’s, is now licensed at Geisinger Medical Center in Pennsylvania and Cleveland Clinic in Las Vegas.

How did he come to that conclusion?  Dr Gibbs will share his story, which is in his  book titled, A TATTOO ON MY BRAIN: A Neurologist’s Personal Battle Against Alzheimer’s Disease.  It’s a touching story that will warm your heart and inspire you as he shares one scientist’s reckoning with a disease he has spent most of his life studying from the “outside” and now he finds himself with a front row seat from “inside” the disease.
