Ida’s Household

Ida is a registered nurse, though she’s not currently practicing. Ian had a long career in law and remained active after retirement. Though Ida has deep experience with health and wellness, she commented that being the primary caregiver for someone is very different.

In 2010 Ian was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. He also has severe Dysautonomia, meaning his blood pressure can vary dramatically from moment to moment. Two months prior to the Atlas study Ian’s condition severely worsened. He was under 24×7 hospice care. After a long visit by his children and their families, his health improved dramatically. Ian and Ida participated in the study during this period of improved health.
