Dr Liz in the Media

After two decades of practice and thousands of patients, I’m thankful for every opportunity to share the knowledge I’ve gained. Whether it’s an interview or a seminar, I consider it my duty to reach the widest audience possible and educate others on eldercare.

Here are a few of my media appearances, where I’ve talked about various topics:

High blood pressure and Alzheimer’s disease could go hand in hand, study finds

High Blood Pressure & Alzheimer’s

If you’re an adult over 60 with untreated hypertension, your likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s Disease goes up.

Weight Loss Drugs Could Slow Dementia

New Hope for Alzheimer’s Prevention

Some early studies show that a new class of weight-loss drugs can actually help decrease the risk of developing Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
Aging in Place Statistics

Aging in Place

“For older adults who prefer to age in place, making safety modifications to their home or downsizing to a residence that requires less maintenance and features fewer mobility barriers can be a crucial decision.”
Understanding an Aphasia Diagnosis

Understanding an Aphasia Diagnosis

Aphasia is a type of dementia that doesn’t get much attention. It’s less common than other types of dementia — but it’s not rare, either.
Blue Zone What is the secret

Blue Zones: What’s the Secret?

If you’re searching for secrets to live to that ripe old age, you can look to certain areas of the world where they’re doing something right: the “Blue Zones.”
Living in the Moment Proves Dementia Doesn’t Mean the End

This book is the What to Expect… for dementia. From before diagnosis, when behaviors and personality change, through financial abuse, medication effects, challenging behavior to caregiving choices and hospice, Living in the Moment covers a wide range of topics.

Overmedicating Elders: Shedding Some Light on the Problem

“Overmedication can make elders look like they have dementia, but when meds get corrected, they get their lives back,” says Dr Liz. Overmedication is more common than you think.

Tips & Resources From a Geriatrician

Living in the Moment isn’t just a practical guidebook. It’s a step-by-step instruction manual on how to overcome problems and bring back the joy of life.

Pain Management Techniques: A Presentation

An elder’s pain is often overlooked. All deserve relief from pain…and it doesn’t come from Motrin daily and Tylenol as needed for most elders.

Dementia Diagnosis: Bane or Blessing?

Caregivers and family members might think an elder’s change in behavior is simply due to age, not dementia. A proper dementia diagnosis is often the catalyst for that elder getting the care they need.

Understanding & Preventing Wandering

When an elder wanders away from home, it’s scary for everyone involved — and this usually happens in the early to middle stages of dementia. It’s important to plan ahead.
