| 0:00.0 | These are my personal opinions. Always seek a professional when you're making choices about your mental health and well-being. |
| 0:11.0 | All right, I'm going to try to get to two messages today. I'm not very good at that. I usually just spend my time on one. But I will try. |
| 0:20.7 | And so this first message is somebody who wrote about their mother-in-law being at risk |
| 0:25.2 | of Alzheimer's. |
| 0:26.9 | And he said, I recently found out my mother-in-law is at a high risk of Alzheimer's, and this |
