Memory Loss: Dementia vs. Normal Aging

As we get older, it’s normal to experience some forgetfulness. Drawing a blank on someone’s name or misplacing your keys can happen to anyone. But memory loss affects different people to different degrees. So, how can we tell the difference between normal aging and more serious memory problems?

On this episode of the Healthier You podcast, Dr. Ashlee Williams speaks with Dr. Angela Hsu, a board-certified geriatrician at Kaiser Permanente, about memory loss, signs of dementia and how we can keep our brains sharp as we age.
