The Aging Forward Podcast brings together some of the sharpest minds in geriatric medicine for the kind of conversations that usually only happen behind closed doors. Each episode, a UCLA geriatrician sits down with a specialist to unpack what aging actually looks like in the body, from memory loss and sleep disorders to weight loss drugs, hearing loss, and knowing when medicine does more harm than good.

This isn't a wellness podcast. It's a front-row seat to the science of getting older and why everything you think you know about it might be wrong.

In this episode, Dr. Aaron Kaufman sits down with Kemi Reeves, DNP, Associate Director of the UCLA Alzheimer's and Dementia Care Program, to talk about what managing symptoms of dementia actually looks like in real families and what caregivers and clinicians can do about it.
 
They cover the limits of medication, the practical strategies that actually work, how to reframe resistance and refusal, why the caregiver is as central to the treatment plan as the patient and what most families are never told about dementia-related sleep problems, apathy, and how to ask for help.
