In this episode of The Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s Podcast, Lisa Skinner explores the growing conversation around the p-tau217 blood biomarker test and its potential role in identifying Alzheimer’s-related biological changes.
P-tau217 can provide valuable information about the likelihood of Alzheimer’s-related amyloid and tau pathology, but a result is not the same as a dementia diagnosis and cannot predict exactly if or when symptoms will develop.
Lisa discusses:
What the p-tau217 biomarker test measures
What a positive or negative result may mean
Why results should not be viewed as a guarantee or prediction of the future
The importance of symptoms, medical history, other testing, and clinical evaluation
Questions to consider before deciding to be tested
How testing may help provide direction for next steps rather than simply another number
The key question may not be just, “Should I get tested?” but rather, “What am I hoping to learn, and what will I do with the information?”

Loss of Smell: An Early Sign We Shouldn’t Ignore
Loss of Smell: An Early Sign We Shouldn’t Ignore
In this episode of The Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s Show, Lisa Skinner explores an often-overlooked symptom that may provide an early clue to neurological changes: loss of smell, also known as hyposmia.
A reduced sense of smell is commonly associated with Parkinson’s disease and can sometimes appear years, or even decades, before a diagnosis. While losing your sense of smell does not mean that you will develop Parkinson’s disease, it is a symptom worth paying attention to, especially when it occurs alongside other neurological changes.
Lisa discusses why our sense of smell matters, how changes in smell can affect taste, appetite, nutrition, and quality of life, and why subtle changes in the body should not always be dismissed as simply part of aging.
This episode is an important reminder to notice changes, ask questions, and talk with a healthcare provider when something feels different.
