This fear is not unfounded: dementia undermines the very essence of what it means to be you, eroding one’s memory, reasoning, language, and the capacity for independent living. 

However, an early dementia diagnosis comes with a multitude of benefits, from accessing treatments and support, to planning with confidence. It allows you or your loved one with dementia the chance to live their best possible life while navigating the challenges of the condition. 

Ultimately, an early dementia diagnosis offers hope, control, and a pathway to manage dementia with dignity.

My name is Tim England and I’m the host and creator of the podcasts Dementia Demystified. I’m also a Dementia Champion and a leading voice on dementia in Australia and I have been active in this area for over 14 years. 

As a freelance dementia consultant and educator who De-mystifies and De-stigmatises dementia I advocate for people living with dementia and their families to live well. With a Masters of Dementia, I’m a Dementia Specialist, Family Advocate, Educator, Columnist, Public Speaker, and an Advanced Care Planner. My family has also been touched by dementia.

Loss of Appetite in Dementia.  Your loved one with dementia may lose their appetite for food. This is significant because poor food intake can create nutritional issues, weight loss and a decline in overall health. 

There can be many reasons why there is a reduced desire to eat, which could include cognitive impairment or other underlying factors, such as pain or fatigue.

In this episode we will look at how dementia can affect appetite and discuss strategies to encourage your loved one with dementia to eat and when you need to contact medical advice.

About me

My name is Tim England and I’m the host and creator of the podcasts Dementia Demystified. I’m also a Dementia Champion and a leading voice on dementia in Australia and I have been active in this area for over 14 years.

As a freelance dementia consultant and educator who De-mystifies and De-stigmatises dementia I advocate for people living with dementia and their families to live well. With a Masters of Dementia, I’m a Dementia Specialist, Family Advocate, Educator, Columnist, Public Speaker, and an Advanced Care Planner. My family has also been touched by dementia

I hosted hundreds of free public dementia education events to raise the awareness of dementia. I’ve been featured in the Australian Journal of Dementia Care and was awarded the ‘Paul Harris Medal’ from Rotary International for Community Service

My new YouTube channel called Ask a Dementia Champion has the goal of raising the level of dementia awareness and knowledge in the community and to de-stigmatise dementia more broadly.

My style is relaxed and use simple non-complicated terms and language to effectively inform and advise so that correct choices are made, and I’m committed to finding, and sharing, bold and innovative new ideas in dementia care

Finally, I’m featured in the international award-winning dementia documentary Ticketyboo – a Secret in Plain Sight, been interviewed numerous times by community and commercial radio and international Youtubers such as the award winning All Home Care Matters, and I’ve spoken at National Dementia Conferences

So, if you a looking for someone who can share information about dementias pathology, the impact of dementia on society, and what can be done to help, then you’ve come to the right place.

Dementia and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. Part 2. While CTE may be a novel neurodegenerative disease it does have a well recorded history. 

CTE is well known about and is a neurodegenerative disease which is linked to repeated head trauma. Hall mark symptoms often include changes in behaviour and behavioural problems, problems with mood swings, and problems with thinking. This disease is progressive and becomes worse over time and CTE can result in dementia.

However, until 20 years ago CTE was believed to only effect retires boxers, but we now know that CTE can develop in people who have never put on a pair of boxing gloves. 

Today we will discuss the signs and symptoms and look at in more detail the cause of CTE.

One of the common questions I’m asked is ‘When will we know it’s time for nursing home care for my loved one who has dementia?’ My answer is sincere: I say” “You will know when it’s time.”

But how will you recognise this.

What are the different stages of dementia? The 3 stage and 7 stage models explained. There are 2 popular models that explain the different stages of dementia.

But before we compare these models you need to think about dementia as being on a continuum with no cognitive impairment on one end and very severe cognitive impairment on the other.

Think about these stages as fluid with the ability for some small variations within each stage rather than solid stages with a clear beginning and a clear ending.

While you have been reading this you have been breathing, your heart has been pumping, your eyelids have opened and closed, your kidneys, liver and stomach have been doing their thing, all without you thinking about it. Your brain is responsible for this. Interesting isn’t.
