Dementia Untangled is a podcast hosted by Banner Health that discusses the complexities of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia. Now in its 8th season, dementia untangled covers over 80 different topics related to dementia caregiving.
The Alzheimer's Disease Research Center's Angela Lunde joined the Dementia Untangled podcast back in August 2021. She discusses how to create a path of resilience, not resistance through the practice of mindfulness. Angela also shares how she was able to untangle the feeling of acceptance and how she incorporates that into mindful practices, giving our full attention to whatever is happening now, leading to many health benefits. She then brings listeners through a demonstration of mindfulness by paying attention to our breath.
