"The Ten Best Ways To Prevent Alzheimer's"

Constance L. Vincent, PhD, is a psychologist and former university professor (Chapman and Santa Clara universities) with expertise on the subject of aging. She is also the daughter of a father who had dementia and a mother who had Alzheimer’s disease for ten years before passing away in 2016. Recognizing her own risk, Dr. Vincent is committed to sharing her knowledge about new approaches for prevention.

“Many people say they are more afraid of Alzheimer’s disease than cancer because there is no cure for AD.  But instead of being in denial and ignoring it, there are things we can do, not only to prevent it, but also to take better care of ourselves and the people who have the disease,” she says. Dr. Vincent and her husband Ed live in Menlo Park, California, where she belongs to Peninsula Volunteers, a group of over 300 women who raise money for various senior programs. The couple enjoys traveling, attending the opera and symphony, and participating in book clubs. They have four daughters, and twelve grandchildren. Their son passed away in 2015.
