From Andrew Rosenzweig, MD, your Guide to Alzheimer's Disease
Whenever I give a lecture about Alzheimer's disease, I can't help but pause when I find myself saying "some caregivers find themselves overwhelmed." The more I work in this field, the more I realized I should be saying "virtually all caregivers find themselves overwhelmed." In that spirit, I wanted to devote this newsletter to helping the vast number of caregivers who find themselves struggling to cope with the demands and stresses of caring for someone with dementia.

Low-Carb Cooking Videos
Videos can sometimes be the key to get you over a mental block about cooking. As one reader wrote of the video of my cauliflower "rice" recipe, "I've known about this recipe for years, but always thought it would be hard to do or time-consuming or something. Having the video link was the key for me, because seeing it done convinced me about how easy this really is. To think, all those years I could have been enjoying this recipe!"

Tips for Cooking Crock Pot Meals
If you have a slow cooker (Crockpot) in your home, you've probably eating some rather mediocre meals, as it's fairly easy to "go wrong" with this helpful but tricky appliance. Here are some tips to help you improve your crockpot cooking.
