Susan Corbon, director of the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, talks with Lloyd and Jamie about the state's efforts to support individuals in the job market.

We are kicking off April with what is top of mind for everyone – how AI (artificial intelligence) is affecting and changing aging and caregiving. We have two experts in this area: Lawrence Kosick, Co-Founder of Get Set Up and Dor Skuler, Founder and CEO of Intuition Robotics, makers of ElliQ. They talk about how they are using AI to help both older adults and caregivers make managing health easier and more personalized. In our Caregiver Wellness News, we focus on April as National Stress Awareness Month and Sherri shares the latest on the Tik Tok trend, “cortisol face” and what caregivers should know. Sherri also talks about a new way to measure cortisol and stress in the workplace using saliva being tested with Cleveland Clinic employees. And new insights from a recent report from United Church Homes and MIT AgeLab on how caregivers feel about AI and managing care for their older loved one. For our Well Home Design News, we put the spotlight on April's National Parkinson's Awareness Month and the research that is identifying “parkinson's clusters” – geographic areas with extremely high prevalence for Parkinsons's disease – Sherri talks about what you should know about environmental factors and other risks as well as the signs of Parkinson's – some of which may surprise you. Also, Sherri shares a new report from the National Alliance for Caregiving and the Michel J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research – the first-ever study of caregivers of those with Parkinson's disease. One solution for these Parkinson's caregivers and all caregivers is a training platform from Trualta that helps caregivers up-skilll and learn techniques that help them on their caregiving journey. They share results of more than 3 million minutes caregivers have spent on their platform and what they are saying.

Tuesday's second hour
What happens when life changes in an instant? When a truck runs a red light, and everything—from your language skills to your sense of self—must be relearned? This week on A Mental Health Break, we sit down with Adrienne Falcone Godsell, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) warrior and the founder of The Food Whisperer LLC, to explore her powerful story of resilience, self-discovery, and healing.Adrienne shares her journey of recovery after surviving a traumatic brain injury—from relearning how to speak and socialize, to accepting a new version of herself. She offers heartfelt advice for others navigating life post-TBI: "We have to accept our new 'us'—because we're never going to be the same ever again."But Adrienne's story doesn't stop at survival. Her passion for holistic health began at 16 with a hypoglycemia diagnosis and evolved into a lifelong mission of helping others through mindful eating. She shares how her food journey intertwined with her mental and emotional recovery, and how she now uses her skills to support healing from the inside out.In this episode, we discuss:
Marcia discusses Parkinson's Awareness Month, research of the neurological disease, previews the upcoming golf outing in August in memory of her husband Tom Parrish, and more on the WRAM Morning Show.
Send us a textClick to Join PMDD Power Couples Click to Book a Private PMDD SessionFollow me on InstagramFollow me on TikTokEver wondered why traditional therapy hasn't helped your PMDD relationship? You're not alone. While talk therapy works for many issues, PMDD relationships require a completely different approach – one that provides strategic tools, not just a space to vent about problems.During PMDD Awareness Month, I'm tackling one of the most common frustrations I hear from clients: "We tried therapy but nothing changed." The truth is that most therapists, even excellent ones, simply don't understand the unique challenges of premenstrual dysphoric disorder. They treat PMDD relationship problems like any other relationship issue, missing the cyclical nature of symptoms and the specific tools needed to navigate them.Group counseling designed specifically for PMDD relationships offers what traditional therapy can't. When you join others navigating the same challenges, something powerful happens – you realize you're not alone, you learn from others' experiences, and you gain access to tools created specifically for PMDD's unique patterns. Instead of just talking about your problems, you receive practical strategies to stop the PMDD breakup cycle, communicate effectively during the luteal phase, and transform how you and your partner respond to symptoms.The most transformative aspect of group work is breaking the isolation. Many people hide the true impact of PMDD from friends and family for fear of judgment, creating a lonely struggle. In a dedicated PMDD group, you no longer have to explain what PMDD is or justify how it affects you – everyone already gets it. This shared understanding creates a foundation for real healing and growth.Ready to transform your approach to PMDD? Join us for the PMDD Power Couples Group Counseling Membership starting April 8th. For PMDD Awareness Month, I'm offering a special rate of just $49 (regularly $149) to make this life-changing support accessible to more couples. Don't let another luteal phase pass without the tools you need!
Immunic Inc (NASDAQ:IMUX) chief medical officer Dr Andreas Muehler talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's work in multiple sclerosis (MS) as MS Awareness Month concludes. Muehler discussed the importance of continued research funding and the community's role in advancing treatment. He highlighted the company's lead asset, vidofludimus calcium, which is in advanced-stage clinical trials. Results from the phase 2 EMPHASIS trial in relapsing-remitting MS showed a reduction of about three-quarters of new MRI lesions compared to placebo. Muehler said, “This is a very good value,” and pointed to biomarker data showing a strong, dose-linear suppression of neurofilament — a sign of nerve cell damage. A phase 3 program involving more than 2,000 patients is now underway, with data expected in 2026. In progressive MS, Immunic is close to reporting data from its phase 2 CALLIPER trial, having already seen positive biomarker signals at 24 weeks. Muehler addressed patients' fears of disability, stressing the company's commitment to tackling "progression independent of relapse activity (PIRA)", a key unmet need. He emphasized vidofludimus calcium's dual mechanism — both anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective — and its potential to become the first oral drug targeting the full spectrum of MS.

Sleep Awareness Month: The Impact of Sleep Disorders on Health - Professor Karine Scheuermaier by Radio Islam
Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Special Edition - Frank Pavone, Director of Priests for Life joins Terry for an update with the ProLife Movement and Abortion Recovery Awareness Month during April Gospel - Matthew 7:7-12 - Jesus said to His disciples: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asked for a loaf of bread, or a snake when he asked for a fish? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask Him.

The 1% in Recovery Successful Gamblers & Alcoholics Stopping Addiction
Text and Be HeardWhat happens when America's newest addiction epidemic doesn't involve a substance at all? This raw, eye-opening exploration of problem gambling reveals the psychological trap that's capturing millions of Americans through slick marketing, smartphone accessibility, and corporate partnerships with major sports leagues.Gambling addiction creates a psychological prison far more complex than many realize. By the time financial distress becomes evident—maxed credit cards, payday loans, borrowing from family—the addiction has already established deep roots. The particularly cruel aspect of gambling addiction is how it convinces sufferers that more gambling is the solution to gambling-created problems, perpetuating a cycle that benefits only the house.The corporate gambling empire's exponential growth should concern us all. Billionaire sports team owners and multinational corporations aren't satisfied with traditional betting—they've created an ecosystem of prop bets, live betting, and player-specific wagers designed to capture new demographics who might not understand traditional sports betting. Their sophisticated marketing portrays gambling as excitement and entertainment while concealing the anxiety, stress, and depression that compulsive gamblers actually experience.Most revealing is the constant mental preoccupation gambling creates. Long before and after placing actual bets, problem gamblers remain trapped in gambling thoughts—analyzing odds, contemplating future bets, calculating losses, planning how to acquire more gambling money. This mental imprisonment leaves little cognitive space for nurturing relationships or pursuing meaningful goals. At its core, problem gambling isn't about money—it's about escaping feelings of purposelessness and low self-esteem through a "fake world" that promises excitement but delivers only deeper emptiness.Ready to break free from gambling's grip or help someone who's struggling?

You know how we feel about drugs: save ‘em until you're older. But there are some drugs to avoid no matter your age, and sneaking to the top of the list is an innocent-sounding inhalant that's leaving a wake of nerve damage and uneaten whipped cream in its path. This episode Grace is following up on her promise to spread the bad word about whippits, aka nitrous oxide. She's breaking down what they are, why they're becoming a growing problem, the many potential cognitive and physical side effects, and tips for staying safe. Plus, we're chatting about the accuracy of astrology, sharing healthy alternatives to getting high, debating what is and isn't a bipedal animal, and imitating a bird call reminiscent of a stressed nana (at least according to our interpretation).

What if a deadly cancer was lurking inside you, and you had no idea? Gallbladder and bile duct cancer, aka Cholangiocarcinomas, are some of the most aggressive, difficult-to-detect cancers out there. With no reliable screening tests and vague symptoms that often go unnoticed, early detection is nearly impossible. But knowing the warning signs could mean the difference between life and death. In this episode of Your Doctor Friends, we sit down with Dr. Scott Pierce, an oncologist from Lexington, KY, who treated John Schlarman, a beloved UK Football Coach and unfortunately passed away from this nasty disease. Dr. Pierce will walk us through John's story to uncover the harsh reality of gallbladder and bile duct cancer, including: ✅ Why these cancers are so difficult to diagnose early ✅ The subtle symptoms that could be red flags ✅ The shocking truth about family history and risk factors ✅ Cutting-edge research that could change the game ✅ The inspiring story of Coach John Schlarman—his battle, his resilience, and his lasting impact Connect with Us: Please sign up for our SUBSTACK so you can forward this information to all your friends inboxes!

DM or send us a voice memo—we might feature it on the show! Understanding the Silent Threat Gallbladder and bile duct cancer often go undetected until it's too late. Unlike more common cancers, these diseases don't have clear early warning signs. Many patients experience vague symptoms like unexplained weight loss, persistent abdominal pain, or jaundice. By the time these symptoms prompt a doctor's visit, the cancer may already be in an advanced stage. That's why awareness is critical—understanding the symptoms and seeking medical advice early can make a difference. Why is Early Detection So Difficult? One of the biggest challenges with gallbladder and bile duct cancer is the lack of reliable screening tests. Unlike breast, colon, or prostate cancer, there isn't a simple routine test to catch these cancers early. Many cases are only discovered accidentally—like when gallstones are removed, and cancer is unexpectedly found. For bile duct cancer, detection is even harder because symptoms often don't appear until the disease has significantly progressed. Hope for the Future While the prognosis for gallbladder and bile duct cancer is often grim, there is hope on the horizon. Researchers are working on advanced blood tests that could one day help detect cancers earlier. These cutting-edge tests analyze genetic markers and proteins in the blood, potentially giving doctors a way to spot cancer before symptoms appear. Though still in development, this research could revolutionize early detection and improve survival rates. John Schlarman's Powerful Story This episode also honors the incredible journey of Coach John Schlarman. A dedicated football coach, John faced his diagnosis with remarkable strength and determination. Despite undergoing grueling treatments, he continued coaching, inspiring his team and community with his resilience. One of his most unforgettable moments? Coaching his team to victory against Tennessee while battling serious complications from his illness. His story is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and the human spirit. Take Charge of Your Health Gallbladder and bile duct cancer may be rare, but when they strike, they strike hard. The best defense? Awareness. If you or someone you know is experiencing unexplained weight loss, persistent abdominal pain, or yellowing of the skin, don't ignore it. Seek medical attention, ask questions, and advocate for your health.

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, a time dedicated to shedding light on an issue that affects far too many young people. Sobeida Rosa, Community Educator with Domestic Violence Services of Lancaster County, works to educate the public about Domestic Violence and resources available at DVS Lancaster. “Teens can also be involved or experience these types of things within their dating. And it's super important to raise awareness because we want to make sure we can try to do some prevention, some reframing so that they can in turn be adults with healthy relationships and kind of get these warning signs early before, you know, the added pressure of adulthood on top of being in a relationship, “said Rosa. Kristen Herman, Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence says educating young folks before they become adults provides an opportunity to help as they’re forming relationships. “You know, whether we like it or not, kids at this age are dating. What that looks like to them and what that sounds like to us might be two totally different things, but it is happening. And we are seeing emotional, psychological, physical, sexual abuse in teen dating relationships as well, especially when we look at things like the use of technology in that age group, “said Herman. Listen to the podcast to hear how technology and social media plays a role in teen dating abuse, what to look out for if a parent suspects their teen is in a abusive relationship, and the first steps a teen should take If they find themselves in a abusive relationship.

January is Poverty Awareness Month. So many of us are blessed to be emerging from a Christmas season enjoying a warm home and an abundance of good fellowship and celebration. Yet tragically, more than 37 million Americans live in poverty. More than 1.5 million children experience homelessness each year. We can do our part to alleviate poverty in our midst. We can commit to sharing our resources with those in need; support charitable organizations that help those in poverty; and pray daily for those without the necessities of life we take for granted. We can do better, starting with a concrete act of charity today. May we ask our Lord for the grace to be more aware, more vigilant, and more compassionate for the sake of all our brothers and sisters experiencing need.
