CBS News correspondent Natalie Morales has been opening up about the importance of brain health, revealing how it “hits hard” now that she’s the same age that her late mother-in-law was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

In an interview with People, the 53-year-old journalist recalled the experiences of her mother-in-law, Kay Rhodes, who lived with Alzheimer’s for 17 years before she died in 2017 at age 70. She talked about noticing the early signs and how, at the time, tests weren’t as extensive as they are these days.
