Kathryn interviews Author Mary Jordan.Many of us don't realize there are things we can do to mitigate the risk of dementia. Whether you have a close relative with dementia, a history of high-risk factors for this condition, or a diagnosis of MCI (mild cognitive impairment), you may be concerned to know how personally 'at risk' you or a loved one is, and what you can do to 'dodge' what is definitely not inevitable. Mary Jordan guides readers through the many factors associated with developing dementia and the science behind our current understanding including diet, exercise, trauma, pharmaceuticals, genetics, social isolation just to name a few. She is a director and founder of Adapt Dementia Ltd formed to help people find a better way to live with dementia. She has specific first hand experience of dementia through her work for Alzheimer's Society, a UK dementia charity and co-authored the award-winning:End of Life, The Essential Guide to Caring.Kathryn also interviews Author Jane Boulware.No one expected Jane Boulware, the scrappy girl from the cornfields of Iowa, who paid for college selling used carpet to become a leader of billion-dollar businesses and a top Microsoft executive. She now reflects on her unconventional path from poverty to success seamlessly blending humor, introspection and a fiery spirit. She confronts societal norms and the demanding realm of corporate America. Jane delves deep, sharing her triumphs, personal struggles, and battle with bulimia, all approached with genuine transparency and compassion. What truly sets this memoir apart is her perspective on success. For her, it's not about mere titles or individual milestones. It's about collaboration, 'reaching back to lift others,' and recognizing that true success is a collective journey. Jane has launched three billion-dollar businesses, been VP of the largest merger in the history of the US, forged global alliances and served on many boards including Boys and Girls Clubs.

I had the absolute pleasure to speak with Viola and Jeff Baker - a father daughter duo who who recently cycled across Canada.  With their back wheels dipped in the Pacific Ocean, they set off from Bamfield on the West Coast of Vancouver Island and cycled West until they reached their end point of Cape Spear, on the Atlantic Ocean.  This trip would see them cycle over 8000kms, creating endless memories as they discovered more about their own country.  They also fundraised during the trip - raising funds for Alzheimers research.  The idea for the trip was sparked by Viola and it was clear Jeff had no hesitation in accepting an invitation from his daughter to join her for this adventure.  At first he wasn't certain his knees would make it all the way across, but once they reached Calgary - he was sure he could make it. For Viola this was her very first long distance bicycle tour and from the way she reflects back on it I could see how energising the trip was. I also  really got a sense of how going on a trip of this length for this long has strengthened the bond between the two of them and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them share stories from their trip.  I'm certain more cycling adventures are ahead of them.  You can keep up with Jeff and Viola's future adventures via:Jeff - Facebook and InstagramViola - Instagram Viola and Jeff also fundraised for the Alzheimers Society of Canada during this trip.

A High Street bank has refunded £145,000 to a man in his eighties after Money Box intervened. Alan was persuaded by thieves to transfer tens of thousands of pounds into what he thought were investments. The money was moved through his account at Metrobank which for many years had seen little activity. But the bank failed to notice large sums being transferred in from his savings and investments and out again almost at once. When a different bank finally blocked the scam, Metrobank only recovered a small proportion of the stolen money before closing the case. Then Money Box intervened and won back for Alan the full amount. We hear from Alan's wife Elizabeth. And from Morven Lean of the Alzheimers Society on how to work with banks to protect relatives with dementia from theft. Plus Kate Frankish of PayUK reveals new ways they're developing to try to cut authorised push payment fraud in future. Also - Dave, who got in touch with Money Box , describes the "black hole" he entered when the Department of Work and Pensions told him part of his salary could be taken to pay off a £1,000 benefits debt. The problem was - he'd never claimed the benefit, didn't owe the money and wasn't told which part of government was poised to take it from him. A year after problems like these were first raised by the programme, Stephen Timms, chair of the Work and Pensions select committee, assesses how well the DWP is fixing them. Plus - Would you borrow half the deposit you needed to buy a home if it meant losing half the profit when you sell it?

DG Outdoor Adventures was formed around 2009 as Discover Guildford when Pete Lambert who at the time was an out of shape, type 1 diabetic, decided to take up a challenge of hiking the Great Wall of China for the Alzheimers Society. As Pete was training he started to explore the Surrey Hills and in doing so he started showcasing his adventures on social media. Friends would ask where he was and the reply would be the same. "You live here". This created a Forest Gump effect and people started hiking with him. https://dgoutdooradventures.com/

It's been a rocky year and a bit for both research funders and researchers, but Alzheimer's Society in the UK is pleased to announce that they have opened a call for new grant applications, closing 16th September 2021. What kind of research does the Society fund? As with previous grant rounds, our research funding is organised in two streams. In both streams, we will consider research related to any type of dementia and associated conditions. Biomedical research. This includes but is not limited to preclinical, clinical, and translational work, brain tissue research, discovery and validation of biomarkers, neuropsychology, symptom management, and clinical trials. Care, implementation, and public health research. This includes but is not limited to research related to the five goals of our Dementia Research Roadmap (prevention, maximising benefits, quality of life, enabling the dementia workforce, and quality and inclusivity of care). This research can be done through primary data collection or secondary analyses and should be focused on the needs of people with dementia, their families and informal carers, and/or professionals working in the field. What kind of grants are available? In this round we'll be funding the following types of grants: PhD studentships. Applications need to be made by the prospective supervisor and can be with or without a named student, so if you want us to fund your PhD, the first step is to contact the institution you'd like to host you, or the supervisor you want to work with. Clinician and healthcare professionals training fellowships. These are for professionals working in dementia clinical or health services who want to work towards a higher research degree, usually a PhD. However, unlike our PhD studentships, you can apply directly to us rather than going through a supervisor. Clinical training partnerships. Like the clinician and healthcare training fellowships, these are to support professionals working in dementia clinical or health services who want to work towards a higher degree. However, this grant is for institutions who want to support two or three fellows at a time, and the application should be made by someone working at that institution. Research fellowships. These are for postdoctoral researchers who want to demonstrate their potential to be an independent researcher. As a guide, you should be looking to apply at this level if your PhD viva was in the last five years. Senior fellowships. These are for researchers who want to build on an established track record in dementia research. You'll need to be a minimum of five years from your PhD viva to apply at this level. Project grants. These larger grants are for established researchers who want to carry out world-class dementia research.

In this podcast Hannah Churchill, Research Communications Officer for Alzheimer’s Society takes the chair to talk with three Alzheimer’s Society funded researchers to discuss how they adapted in response to the pandemic. People with dementia have been worst hit by the COVID-19 pandemic – with over a quarter of people who died of COVID-19 between March and June 2020 having had dementia. Many dementia researchers have refocussed their work to study how the virus has impacted people living with dementia and their carers, to discover the likely long-term effects and to understand how care and support can be better provided in the future – ensuring lessons are learnt. Basic scientists turned their attention to COVID-19 testing, or took the time to learn new coding skills, write papers and to play the next stages of the research. While clinical researchers mostly returned to be entirely focussed on front line care within the NHS. The show is pleased to welcome: Dr Nuriye Kupeli, Senior Research Fellow from University College London. Nuriye, is works on understanding how compassion is experienced by family carers and developing interventions to support carers in their role. Dr Claire Pentecost, IDEAL Programme Manager from University of Exeter. IDEAL is the largest study of living well with dementia in the UK. The evidence will enable the development of new policy, interventions and initiatives to transform the lives of people with dementia and their carers. Remco Tuijt, PhD Student, University College London. Remco, is researching Post-diagnostic dementia care using interviews to explore healthcare experiences for people with dementia, their carers and their healthcare professionals.

Disease preventionHeart diseaseVitamin E (almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, avocado) and Beta Carotene (sweet potato, dark leafy greens, cantelope, capsicum) are often studied as it is hypothesized that these antioxidants can prevent the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques.Results of larger trials haven’t shown as profound as we had hoped for, however we have rational for this!Women’s Health Study - 39,876 healthy women took 600 IU of natural source vitamin E or a placebo every other day for 10 years. The study did not see a reduction in CVD events, however it did find a 24% reduction in total cardiovascular mortality. Women’s Antioxidant Cardiovascular Study - 8,171 women randomised.looked at beta-carotene, vitamin E, vitamin C.Modest benefit for vitamin E among women with existing cardiovascular disease.Women in the active vitamin C and E experienced fewer strokes Patients taking vitamin E had significantly more heart failure. Vitamin E was linked to a 13% higher risk of heart failure and a 21% increased risk of hospitalization for heart failureLott, E. The Journal of the American Medical Association, March 16, 2005; vol 293: pp 1338-1347. Brown, B.G. The Journal of the American Medical Association, March 16, 2005; vol 293: pp 1387-1390..https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/69/6/1322S/4715025a recently published analysis of clinical trials involving nearly 136,000 people who took vitamin E for one reason or another found that the overall risk of dying was greater in those who took higher doses, compared to those who took lower doses.https://www.health.harvard.edu/press_releases/facts_about_vitamineNot a huge benefit when it comes to supplementation - this was also supported in a very highly regarded medical journal called The Lancet. We know that antioxidants in fruits and vegetables, which also contain valuable fibre can have a profound impact on heart health and prevention of heart disease.Cognitive conditions (dementia, alzheimers)Oxidative stress caused by free radical damage can contribute to brain aging, cognitive deterioration and conditions such as alzheimers or dementia. .The literature has some mixed results, however again we know there is more to this complex puzzle.Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease by Vitamin E and Selenium Trial (PREADViSE).This study aimed to determine if vitamin E or selenium supplements used alone or in combination can prevent dementia older men.3,700 men aged 60 or older for 6 yearsUnfortunately the antioxidant supplements did not prevent the onset of Alzehimers disease.Physicians' Health Study II (PHSII), - 5,956 men age greater than 65 years.The average treatment duration was 18 years - very long!Subjects were given 50 mg beta-carotene supplements or a placebo.Long term supplementation showed positive cognitive outcomes.Statement by the Alzheimers Society regarding use of antioxidants:“Though lab-based experiments on different types of antioxidants seem promising, there is only limited support for the claims that antioxidants may protect against Alzheimer's disease from studies involving people.However, increasing fresh fruit and vegetables in the diet has numerous benefits aside from increasing antioxidant intake and is highly recommended, especially as part of a Mediterranean diet”We know there is data to suggest that eating a Med type diet (which is rich in antioxidants) is beneficial in reducing the risk of dementia. Cancer Carotenoids and breast cancer riskDietary patterns and bladder cancer- looks at fruit and veg rather than supplementsDietary Soy Isoflavones (flavanoid family) and colon cancerhttp://oncorenutrition.com/dont-fight-yo-nutrients/We know that eating a diet rich in antioxidant rich fruit and vegetables and protective against a range of different cancers. Whilst there are some gaps in the literature there are some really exciting trials currently underway.Longevity & anti-aging If we can prevent the onset of chronic diseases through increasing our intake of antioxidants, we can lead a healthier life for longer!“Free Radical Theory of Aging” (FRTA), also known as “oxidative damage theory of ageing” is a concept that free radicals and other reactive oxygen species are a byproduct of metabolism and occurs as a result of a number of exogenous factors; and it is the accumulation of damaged cells are the reason we experience age-related diseases and aging. Why antioxidants are of interest in terms of aging and longevity, is because they can block or downregulate these damaging pathways.http://www.actabp.pl/pdf/2_2000/281.pdfThere are a number of different antioxidants that are of interest when we focus on anti-aging. These include - Ascorbic acid (Vit C), alpha-tocopherol (Vit E), Ubiquinol (Coenzyme Q10), Melatonin, Curcumin, resveratrol, etc.. Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3982418/Ubiquinol (Coenzyme Q10)It is a unique lipid-soluble antioxidant and is essential for mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), which is a fancy way of referring to energy production within our cells.Benefits from heart disease risk, kidney disease, inflammation, fertility, aging, metabolic syndrome.In regard to CVD a cochrane review in 2014 found that supplementing with Co-Q10 showed a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure without improvements in other CVD risk factors, such as diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL- and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, and triglycerides.Endothelial functionInflammation - Meta-analysis explored the effect of CoQ10 on C-reactive protein (inflammatory measure), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in patients with inflammatory conditions such as multiple sclerosis, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, etc... It found that Co-Q10 doses between  60 to 500 mg/day for a 1-week -4-months significantly reduced production of inflammatory cytokines. Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5807419/#B39Food sources:Organ meats: Heart, liver and kidneySome muscle meats: Pork, beef and chickenFatty fish: Trout, herring, mackerel and sardineVegetables: Spinach, cauliflower and broccoliFruit: Oranges and strawberriesLegumes: Soybeans, lentils and peanutsNuts and seeds: Sesame seeds and pistachiosOils: Soybean and canola oilResveratrol (RSV) - A polyphenolic compound that stimulates cell defense pathways.Protects these plants against UV rays and some fungal infections.It has been hypothesised that it is RSV that is responsible for  the ‘French paradox’ - low rates of heart disease in France, despite a diet rich in cheese and red wine.There is evidence that resveratrol may be beneficial in the context of diabetes, CVD and cancer.Meta Analysis which looked at the evidence regarding RSV across a number of different species.

Bo Run is the Head of Data at the Alzheimer's Society. After a year leading a data department at Greenpeace, Bo returned to Alzheimer’s Society and became their first Head of Data. This decision was influenced in part by the amazing work the Society does to combat dementia. He was also drawn to the organisation as he relished the challenge of developing a data strategy in what is effectively a greenfield site. Alzheimer’s Society has yet to leverage the data it has access to up to Bo’s appointment so he was uniquely placed to roll out an effective and robust data strategy for the charity.

Welcome to Episode 99 of the podcast. Today on Arts and Wellness Wednesday I will be talking about Dementia and recognizing the signs and symptoms and the use of creativity to help support those living with the disease and those who are caring for those living with the disease. It follows on from my talk about the work I have done in the arts and health field in last weeks podcast, number 96 which you can listen to. I have found that the arts can make a big impact on those who are living with Dementia and their carers and where ever you can put in place activities it is vital. I have written about my experience being a carer and working through the maze of Dementia and Care on my blog and provided information and tips about some of the things that you can do. The services available will vary depending on where you live and funding The majority of carers have experienced the lack of funding for their loved ones, but there are resources that you can access and it is important that you find out as much as you can about the disease and what is available. In the UK you can access Age UK and Alzheimer's Society. In Barbados you can contact the Barbados Alzheimer's Association (BAA) - think about making a donation to the work that they do.. They offer regular training, keeping you updated and informed about the disease and resources available (Participation Program), hold yearly seminars with speakers coming in from all around the Caribbean and further afield and share a lot of important and relevant information, and the work is done by volunteers so they do need your support. You can give them a call on: Tel: 246-418-0741 or 824-3365 and see how you can help them further their work. On Arts and Wellness Wednesdays I cover the way that art can impact on our health and well-being and encourage you to find a way to incorporate Art in what ever form you choose into your regular daily practice, so you can come to my YouTube channel and see art videos and tutorials, and be inspired and encouraged. If you would like to get more creative but not sure of what to do sign up for two free 30 minute sessions where you can talk about the things that matter or you want to work through creatively. More information HERE Please consider sharing this information, dementia effects the whole community and we need to be the bridge of support for those who are directly dealing with the disease, and look at the range of creative resources that we can use.
