In this heartfelt episode of The Raw Vibe Podcast, host Chuck Tuck sits down with Kathy Chan, author and caregiver, to discuss her deeply personal experience caring for her mother with Lewy Body Dementia—a lesser-known but second most common form of dementia. Drawing from her book Someone to Watch Me Sleep, Kathy opens up about the early warning signs of dementia, the emotional toll of caregiving, and the importance of holistic health awareness in recognizing symptoms that often go unnoticed.
Together, Chuck and Kathy explore how sleep disturbances, swallowing difficulties, and recurring infections can be early indicators of cognitive decline. They also discuss why caregivers must prioritize their own health and how understanding the different stages and types of dementia can transform the way we care for loved ones.
This insightful conversation offers a blend of medical awareness, emotional honesty, and practical advice for anyone touched by dementia. Whether you’re a caregiver, family member, or health professional, you’ll walk away with a renewed sense of compassion and clarity about how to navigate this complex journey.
