Today's generation is the first to really speak openly about menopause—yet the medical community and popular culture fixate on the negative aspects. Now a renowned women's health expert offers a powerful guide to experiencing perimenopause and menopause as a natural gateway into the next exciting and meaningful phase of our lives. My guest is Susan Willson, the author of https://www.soundstrue.com/products/making-sense-of-menopause (Making Sense of Menopause). She is a Yale-educated certified nurse midwife and certified clinical thermographer with more than 40 years of experience in the women's health field. In this inspiring and highly practical guide, Willson dismantles the cultural falsehoods we've been taught about menopause and illuminates: Menopause as metamorphosis—how the changes in our bodies literally transform us into new women with essential roles to play in our culture How the biological arc of a woman's life unfolds toward menopause—and how our earliest experiences inform the menopause we will have Practical guidance for self-care—including sleep, nutrition, stress management, exercise, and social connections Sexuality and relationships—deepening our emotional bonds and expanding our capacity to give and receive pleasure Becoming the Wise Woman—stepping into the essential role of an elder in our youth-obsessed world Making Sense of Menopause honors the momentous passage that women go through at midlife with an appealing mixture of practical advice and reverent reflection. Susan makes it clear that menopause is not a diminution or mere biological process but a psychospiritual transformation.

"86 going on 60." That's what and how my guest feels. James Flaherty is the author of https://www.amazon.com/DEAR-OLD-FRIENDS-REMINDER-PLAYING-ebook/dp/B09MJGH2DZ (Dear Old Friends).

"I teach people with arthritis to move differently, so they can overcome pain and get back to doing the things they love." My guest is Dr. David Sofer. And this is a quote from his website, www.arthritishelp.info. In our conversation, he states that being diagnosed with arthritis is not a call to the wheelchair and chronic pain. Yes, arthritis is a chronic condition possibly giving us chronic pain. But 50% of those diagnosed with arthritis will not feel the pain or discomfort of this disease. He teaches the principles of movement, which breaks down the fundamentals of how we move. That helps us understand how to live with arthritis. Dr. Dave talks more about posture as well. As he states in this interview, there is no such thing as good or bad posture. Your body tends toward what is comfortable for you, to get your body to balance over your bones. And finally, we talk about how patients are diagnosed with arthritis, and how it is wearing and irregularity in your joints. His website is full of free tutorials and videos to help you help yourself understand and manage the pain of arthritis. Dr. Dave developed his unique method for relieving arthritis pain by combining his decades of clinical practice as a physical therapist and his background as a champion gymnast and springboard diver. Refining this method over thousands of treatments for arthritis patients Dr. Dave inspires and empowers them to overcome their limitations and regain the ability to do the things they love. He has shown that everyone has the ability to improve no matter their age, diagnosis, or physical ability. With the right guidance, understanding, and commitment you have the ability to feel better.

https://movinghealthhome.org/choose-home-care-act-fact-sheet/ (The Choose Home Care Act of 2021), introduced by Senators Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Todd Young (R-IN), aims to give more seniors the option to receive care at home for 30 days after a hospitalization, rather than going to a skilled nursing facility or other transitional settings. The legislation would open the door to a variety of home-based services, including skilled nursing, therapy, primary care, personal care, RPM, telehealth, meals, home adaptations and non-emergent transportation.

Ed Brazee, Jill Spencer, and Chris Toy from Boomer Tech Adventures are back as my guests on this episode.BoomerTECH Adventures is all about serving boomers and seniors who want to feel competent and confident in their online skills while using their personal technology devices.Spamming is kind of a benign form of scamming. It's not necessarily evil, but it certainly does take resources and time. Be sure to keep your personal information offline because that's how the spammers find you. Plus, if you have a digital assistant like Siri or Amazon's system, Alexa or Google, they are always listening. That can actually result in ads that will kind of target you.Be careful if you receive an email that may like it's from a known source or an unknown source. If it has a link in the email and it asks you to click on that link from inside the email, you want to avoid that. What's happening is that the hacker or scammer is directing you to go to a place that they have designated.Similar to that is, more and more, you'll see your social media someone who you know, you're friends with, and you get a message from this friend asking you to be their friend, but you're already their friend. Don't do anything with that request.A recent survey showed that 19% of people between 50 and 64 have explored online dating,And a lot of people are looking for companionship. They're recent widows, widowers, or divorced and would really like to have someone in their life. But beware. These scammers are charming, they're persistent, persuasive, and they play on your emotions, especially guilt. If there's any request for money, end the conversation right there.The Amazon brushing scam. Brushing is a scam in which third-party Amazon vendors send people products they never actually bought. While this may seem an odd scam at first, it is all to do with exploiting Amazon's search ranking system. This then pushes their items up their search rankings and encourages more genuine purchases.When it's all said and done, trust your intuition, trust your hunch. If it doesn't feel right, don't go there, don't do it.Find out more about BoomerTECH Adventures on their website - https://www.boomertechadventures.com/Email me, Lisa Stockdale, anytime at aginginfullbloom@gmail.comAging In Full Bloom is sponsored by Capital Health Care Network, an Ohio-based, family-owned and operated company, providing solutions that help seniors age on their own terms.

My guest is Patty Davis, the daughter of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan.When Patty's father announced his Alzheimer's diagnosis in an address to the American public in 1994, the world had not yet begun speaking about this cruel, mysterious disease. Empowered by all she learned from caring for her father―about the nature of the illness, but also about the loss of a parent―Davis founded a support group for the family members and friends of Alzheimer's patients. Along with a medically trained co-facilitator, she met with hundreds of exhausted and devastated attendees to talk through their pain and confusion.Her book, Floating in the Deep End: How Caregivers can See Beyond Alzheimer's, discusses her experiences to provide her unique experience of battling Alzheimer's.https://www.amazon.com/Floating-Deep-End-Caregivers-Alzheimers/dp/1631497987/Email me, Lisa Stockdale, anytime at aginginfullbloom@gmail.comAging In Full Bloom is sponsored by Capital Health Care Network, an Ohio based, family owned and operated company, providing solutions that help seniors age on their own terms.

Most diet books teach you to set short-term weight loss goals. These “solutions” do a better job of lightening your wallet than lightening you.As a heart surgeon who used to be morbidly obese, Dr. Philip Ovadia has seen firsthand the failures of mainstream diets and medicine. He realized that what helped him lose over 100 pounds was the same solution that could have prevented most of the thousands of open heart surgeries he has performed—metabolic health.In Stay off My Operating Table, Dr. Ovadia shares the complete metabolic health system to prevent disease and optimize your health, a system that the diet and drug industries don't want you to know about. Unlike quick-fix, “7-day,” radical diets, Dr. Ovadia's approach is a sustainable, long-term solution that could work for you.Whether you've suffered from chronic diseases or want to prevent them decades from now, Stay off My Operating Table could help you take back control of your health.Email me, Lisa Stockdale, anytime at aginginfullbloom@gmail.comAging In Full Bloom is sponsored by Capital Health Care Network, an Ohio based, family owned and operated company, providing solutions that help seniors age on their own terms.

My guest is Anne Basting, PhD, who is a leader in transforming aging and elder care. I have her on this podcast to talk about her Creative Care Imagination Kit.Based on Dr. Basting's twenty-five years of research, this “imagination kit” makes it easy for families, friends, and caregivers to make meaningful connections with elders and others dealing with physical, cognitive, or emotional challenges, including memory loss. The Creative Care Imagination Kit sparks conversation and encourages active listening, allowing all ages to freely share ideas and stories without worrying about getting the details “correct.”Dr. Basting's years of research have shown that these practices stimulate the brain and awaken the imagination, adding wonder and awe not only to the daily lives of those with dementia but to all family members, and provides them with a means of connection and communication. You can find out more about the kit here - https://www.harpercollins.com/products/creative-care-imagination-kit-anne-bastingAnd her book, Creative Care, here - https://www.harpercollins.com/products/creative-care-anne-bastingEmail me, Lisa Stockdale, anytime at aginginfullbloom@gmail.comAging In Full Bloom is sponsored by Capital Health Care Network, an Ohio based, family owned and operated company, providing solutions that help seniors age on their own terms.

My guest is author Eleanor Lerman, and her new book is Watkins Glen. It's the story of Susan, a woman in her sixties, who finds herself taking care of her estranged older brother, Mark, who has Alzheimer's. They are the children of a father who worked in his brothers' upholstery factory for most of the year but in the summers, escaped with his family to Watkins Glen, where he was the best outlaw drag racer in a town that primarily caters to high-end road racing. After a life spent in New York City, Susan has moved back to Watkins Glen where she takes her brother to live―temporarily, she thinks. https://www.amazon.com/Watkins-Glen-Eleanor-Lerman/dp/1952781019Email me, Lisa Stockdale, anytime at aginginfullbloom@gmail.comAging In Full Bloom is sponsored by Capital Health Care Network, an Ohio based, family owned and operated company, providing solutions that help seniors age on their own terms.

My guest is author Marilyn Peterson Haus. Her book, Half of a Whole, explores the intimate bond between a twin brother and sister, the cruel consequences that occur when one of them becomes mentally ill, and the courage required to break away when love is not enough.Just when Marilyn thought she had escaped life as the child of born-again farmers on the Minnesota plains, her twin brother's manic violence catapults her back to the fissures of her childhood. Half of a Whole is the haunting chronicle of her twin's encroaching mental illness, her mother's blatant favoritism, and the stultifying strictures of her family's religious zealotry. Sentence by sentence, she battles to break free from a painful past and live life on her own terms.Email me, Lisa Stockdale, anytime at aginginfullbloom@gmail.comAging In Full Bloom is sponsored by Capital Health Care Network, an Ohio based, family owned and operated company, providing solutions that help seniors age on their own terms.

We're going to talk about what seniors should do once they've been vaccinated. Dr. Ronan M. Factora is a geriatrician in Cleveland, Ohio and is affiliated with Cleveland Clinic. As he states, "now we're starting to see solutions to how we can get back to normal. And one of those interventions, one of the solutions does include vaccination. 00:03:08.760we should take advantage of this because we all want to get back to the type of life that we were living before the pandemic."Do you think we will do you think we'll get back to normal? "I know that there's going to be changes. And, you know, normal is a relative term. I guess the goal is to get closer to normal because it doesn't sound like we're going to get rid of coronavirus."Dr. Factora goes a bit deeper to help us understand the term "bubble" in relation to who we can come in contact with."Everyone has their bubble and then there's different different kind of terms for the bubble for sure. You have the bubble of the people who live underneath your own household. You know, where everyone's been at. But some people have expanded that bubble to include close friends and family that they know have been, you know, really limited in terms of where they go. So if you're very well aware of the whereabouts and the goings on of friends and family who they've been in contact with, where they've gone to, then you can have confidence that they're not going to be bringing in coronavirus from some other location outside of that bubble that we're talking about."Email me, Lisa Stockdale, anytime at aginginfullbloom@gmail.comAging In Full Bloom is sponsored by Capital Health Care Network, an Ohio based, family owned and operated company, providing solutions that help seniors age on their own terms.

Elizabeth Marcus is my guest. She is the author of Don't Say a Word: A Daughter's Two Cents.The book is about Elizabeth's parents, Edna and Leo, a perpetually warring, tyrannical pair in their 80s. They begin wintering In Mexico, where they abandon their usual prudence to embrace adventure and a bevy of sketchy new friends. Soon, Edna adopts a pair of shyster builders whom she trusts over her own architect-daughter Elizabeth, and a farcical house results. Blithely indifferent to the calamities that result, the pair refuse all help from their too-compliant only child.Though unique in its loony details, Don’t Say A Word! will resonate with beleaguered adult-children everywhere who will recognize the special misery of watching their parents become taken over by dementia.Email me, Lisa Stockdale, anytime at aginginfullbloom@gmail.comAging In Full Bloom is sponsored by Capital Health Care Network, an Ohio based, family owned and operated company, providing solutions that help seniors age on their own terms.

Who doesn't remember working the broom and towel in front of the TV with Body By Jake?Now in is 60's, Jake knows how important it is to stay active and physically healthy. I talk with Jake about his beginnings on TV, and what he is doing today to help older adults stay active during COVID-19.Jake started as a personal trainer with clients including Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford, whom he trained for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.Steinfeld became Chairman of the California Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports under Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006 and served until 2011 under Governor Jerry Brown. As a tribute to his lifelong devotion to physical fitness and for his persistent teaching of the Fitness Life Style, he was inducted into the National Fitness Hall of Fame, Class of 2006.Jake was named Chairman of the National Foundation for Governors' Fitness Councils in 2012. Through the cooperation of public and private partnerships, the NFGFC rewards "Don't Quit" fitness centers to elementary and middle schools who show innovative ways to promote fitness and nutrition in their schools and communities across the United States.As Jake states, "We all have dreams. And, you know, a lot of folks don't don't act on their dreams because they get they get afraid. They feel they're not to be able to succeed. Well, maybe they talk about their dreams and the people they talk to about them, but they maybe might not be as positive as they would hope them to be. It's not that they don't want you to succeed, but like my parents, they don't want to see you get hurt."https://dontquit.com/Find out more on my blog at https://aginginfullbloomwithlisa.blogspot.comEmail me, Lisa Stockdale, anytime at aginginfullbloom@gmail.comAging In Full Bloom is sponsored by Capital Health Care Network, an Ohio based, family owned and operated company, providing solutions that help seniors age on their own terms.

Caring for a parent, spouse, or relative who cannot care for themselves due to age, infirmity, or illness is one of the noblest human activities. It's also one of the most stressful, posing challenges that can be painful, confusing, frustrating, and deeply rewarding-sometimes all at once. When Caregiving Calls is an invitation to a deep conversation about caregiving and its meaning for you.Aaron Blight has lived the caregiving experience many ways-as a family caregiver for a mother-in-law struggling with brain cancer as it stole her mental clarity and ultimately her life; as the owner of a home care company that supported thousands of families living their own versions of the same journey; and as a researcher, lecturer, and consultant traveling the world to learn from family caregivers and their professional helpers.He shares his insights in eighteen brief, thoughtful chapters that examine the many facets of caregiving. He explores how caregiving reshapes family relationships, challenges comfortable assumptions, and stresses your ability to manage your time, energy, and emotions. He shows how the changing mental and physical state of a loved one can lead to growing vulnerability, need, and loneliness on the part of care receiver and caregiver alike. He shares stories-poignant, funny, and often inspiring-that vividly capture the unique daily realities of the caregiving life. And he offers candid, practical advice that can help family caregivers do a better job of coping with the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual challenges they face.Aaron Blight, Ed.D., is an international speaker, author, and consultant on caregiving, aging, and healthcare. He is the founder of Caregiving Kinetics and has been recognized as a "Top 100 Healthcare Leader" by the International Forum on Advancements in Healthcare.Once you hear a few segments from his book, you will want to read more of it immediately.https://bookshop.org/books/when-caregiving-calls-guidance-as-you-care-for-a-parent-spouse-or-aging-relative/9781733914147Find out more on my blog at https://aginginfullbloomwithlisa.blogspot.comEmail me, Lisa Stockdale, anytime at aginginfullbloom@gmail.comAging In Full Bloom is sponsored by Capital Health Care Network, an Ohio based, family owned and operated company, providing solutions that help seniors age on their own terms.

I interview Lee Gutkind, author of My Last Eight Thousand Days. This is his 17th book, and I couldn't put it down."This revealing, candid, and vivid portrait of one man’s view of aging written by the man who played a crucial role in establishing literary, narrative nonfiction in the marketplace and in the academy, examines male aging in a way we’ve not seen before."In My Last Eight Thousand Days, Gutkind turns his notepad and tape recorder inward, taking his skills as an immersion journalist to perform a deep dive on himself. Here, he offers a memoir of his life as a journalist, editor, husband, father, and Pittsburgh native, recounting not only his many triumphs, but also exposing his missteps and challenges.

Telemedicine, or telehealth. You may have heard this recently, and maybe even prior to 20/20. I think some of us in health care knew what telehealth was, but it wasn't exactly a household word until, well, until this year. So these days, you get more and more opportunity to utilize telehealth. Telehealth is a quick, easy, affordable and crazy, convenient way to connect with your local physician.Simply put, it's a way of delivering and receiving health care remotely by means of telecommunication, and that doesn't necessarily have to mean a smartphone.The cool thing is it can help you skip the trip to the doctor's office when you need to see a physician or you need medical attention for routine, non-emergency care. This is technology working for you when it comes to health care.Telehealth is changing the nature of health care. So get with the program!

We are smack in the middle of summer 2020 and there's a lot going on. Well, there's also a lot that isn't going on or happening because of the virus. Some of us are working from home. Some of us are out of work. Vacations have been canceled, postponed or modified. We've got politics, politics and more politics. Breaking news, fake news. With an election looming right around the corner, social unrest, protesting, rioting, racism, COVID-19. I'll say COVID-19 again.A challenge to health care system issues and concerns about our children returning to school. Smoldering heat in some parts of the country, which makes wearing these masks particularly challenging. And we're being encouraged to refrain from or limiting gatherings. That means different things to different people. But one thing I think we can all agree on, there's a lot going on. And with so much going on, I think it's real easy to lose perspective. when I say it's easy to lose perspective. Don't worry. I am not going to tell you what to think or how to make meaning of or make sense of or assign meaning to anything or everything that's happening. Instead, I'm just going to ask you listeners to take a moment, take a deep breath and try to keep it all in perspective. And I have a guest in the studio who is going to help us do just that. Mrs. D did a podcast with me some weeks back where she talked about getting brave and asking for and accepting the help that you need as you age. If you haven't heard that one, go back and take a listen to that podcast drew an overwhelmingly positive response. https://www.spreaker.com/episode/32535436.I've had the privilege of hearing her story during an interview where she recently talked about her life story in pieces, sharing a story about leaving Mississippi in fear for her life and the lives of her children and husband because of racism. I've given a lot of thought to some of what she shared during that interview because I believe understanding the past helps us understand the present, or at least it helps us see the bigger picture. I think that's what keeping it in perspective is all about. It's about understanding what is happening now or what might happen in relationship to what has happened or in relation to other people, places and experiences. Keeping it in perspective is the exact opposite of tunnel vision, and I'm confident that Mrs. D can help us keep it in perspective.Find out more on my blog at https://aginginfullbloomwithlisa.blogspot.com/2020/06/stop-loneliness-from-ruling-day-during.htmlEmail me, Lisa Stockdale, anytime at aginginfullbloom@gmail.comAging In Full Bloom is sponsored by Capital Health Care Network, an Ohio based, family owned and operated company, providing solutions that help seniors age on their own terms.
