Sunday Paper Recommends—Week of September 21, 2025

Today is World Alzheimer’s Day so this week at The Sunday Paper we're sharing a documentary, brain-fueled protein bars, brain-healthy recipes, an information-packed newsletter, and an Alzheimer's and caregiving reading guide. We hope these suggestions open your heart and mind and encourage you to come together for meaningful conversations.

What We’re Watching

Matter of Mind: My Alzheimer’s is an intimate portrayal of three families confronting the unique challenges of Alzheimer’s and how this progressive neurodegenerative disease transforms roles and relationships. Whether it's a partner caring for a loved one or an adult child shifting into being their parent's caregiver, these stories show how families evolve when a loved one is diagnosed. Watch now on PBS.

Your brain is your #1 tool. You use it for every single thing you do, 24/7. MOSH’s mission is simple: to create a conversation about brain health through food, education, research, and providing the tools for a “mindstyle” lifestyle. Packed with ingredients like omega-3s, ashwagandha, and vitamin B12, they’re designed to nourish both body and mind. Even better, each purchase supports Alzheimer’s research, making your snack a small act of purpose. Check out their new Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip flavor here.
