36. Tapping Mindfulness to Treat Memory Loss | Claudia Wong, FNP-BC

Claudia Wong is a family nurse practitioner specializing in memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. A few years ago, she trained to teach restorative yoga. After that, she went traveling, and the trip turned into a two-year journey into the contemplative arts. She did more yoga training in Bali, learned about healing with Tibetan singing bowls in India, and practiced meditation in Thailand. When she returned, she brought all those things back to use in her practice. Dementia and memory loss cause anxiety. Sufferers are often nervous about missing appointments and other events. That stress can compound their illness. A mindfulness practice like meditation or yoga can calm the aging brain and reduce the symptoms of memory loss, she finds. Listen to this episode to learn more about how Claudia’s journey to the East helps her get the most out of her practice in Western medicine.
