In this week's episode of The Disappearing Mind, Dawn Platt explores Korsakoff Syndrome—a lesser-known but devastating form of cognitive decline that looks nothing like typical dementia. With compassion and clarity, Dawn uncovers who's most at risk, the surprising ways it manifests, and why it often goes unrecognized even by family members. Most importantly, she shares critical information about this condition that sets it apart from other dementias: unlike most, this one might be preventable. Whether you're a caregiver or simply interested in brain health, this episode offers essential insights into the profound connection between nutrition and cognitive wellbeing that could change how you think about dementia prevention.
