When a loved one is diagnosed with dementia uncertainty often follows. Questions about genetics, testing and future risk can feel overwhelming.
Join Dr Christa North, PhD in Dietetics and genetics specialist, as she unpacks the science behind Alzheimer's disease and dementia in a clear, practical and evidence-based way. With over 20 years of experience spanning healthcare, pharmaceuticals, genetics and precision medicine, Dr North translates complex research into meaningful insight.
This talk will explore genetic risk, gene expression, testing options and costs, inherited risk to children, and, most importantly, how lifestyle interventions may influence your brain health. Designed for families seeking clarity, not fear, this session offers informed guidance grounded in science.
