Should You Get a P-Tau217 Biomarker Test?
In this episode of The Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s Podcast, Lisa Skinner explores the growing conversation around the p-tau217 blood biomarker test and its potential role in identifying Alzheimer’s-related biological changes.P-tau217 can provide valuable information about the likelihood of Alzheimer’s-related amyloid and tau pathology, but a result is not the same as a dementia diagnosis and cannot predict exactly if or when symptoms will develop.Lisa discusses:What the p-tau217 biomarker test measuresWhat a positive or negative result may meanWhy results should not be viewed as a guarantee or prediction of the futureThe importance of symptoms, medical history, other testing, and clinical evaluationQuestions to consider before deciding to be testedHow testing may help provide direction for next steps rather than simply another numberThe key question may not be just, “Should I get tested?” but rather, “What am I hoping to learn, and what will I do with the information?”Hashtags#Alzheimers #Dementia #DementiaCare #PTau217 #AlzheimersResearch #Biomarkers #MemoryLoss #BrainHealth #CognitiveHealth #DementiaAwareness #CaregiverSupport #TheTruthLiesAndAlzheimers

Loss of Smell: An Early Sign We Shouldn’t Ignore
Loss of Smell: An Early Sign We Shouldn’t IgnoreIn this episode of The Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s Show, Lisa Skinner explores an often-overlooked symptom that may provide an early clue to neurological changes: loss of smell, also known as hyposmia.A reduced sense of smell is commonly associated with Parkinson’s disease and can sometimes appear years, or even decades, before a diagnosis. While losing your sense of smell does not mean that you will develop Parkinson’s disease, it is a symptom worth paying attention to, especially when it occurs alongside other neurological changes.Lisa discusses why our sense of smell matters, how changes in smell can affect taste, appetite, nutrition, and quality of life, and why subtle changes in the body should not always be dismissed as simply part of aging.This episode is an important reminder to notice changes, ask questions, and talk with a healthcare provider when something feels different.Learn MoreFor additional information about loss of smell and Parkinson’s disease, visit the Parkinson’s Foundation:https://www.parkinson.org/understanding-parkinsons/non-movement-symptoms/loss-of-smellHashtags#TruthLiesAndAlzheimers #MindingDementia #LisaSkinner #ParkinsonsDisease #ParkinsonsAwareness #LossOfSmell #Hyposmia #NeurologicalHealth #BrainHealth #DementiaAwareness #EarlyWarningSigns #CaregiverEducation #HealthyAging #PersonCenteredCareThe Parkinson’s Foundation notes that hyposmia is a common early Parkinson’s symptom, although not everyone who experiences reduced smell will develop Parkinson’s disease.
