Fighting for the Little Things: Rebecca's GVHD Journey

In this episode, we speak with Rebecca Heimsoth, a young mother and survivor of myelodysplastic syndrome who underwent a bone marrow transplant in April 2022. Diagnosed shortly after turning 33, Rebecca shares her deeply personal journey of navigating transplant recovery, chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and parenting two small children. Her story is one of resilience, support, and a constant fight to reclaim her life after cancer.We begin by learning how Rebecca's transplant process unfolded with the support of her family. Her mother stepped in as her full-time caregiver while she temporarily relocated over an hour away from home for five months, separated from her children. Her youngest sister was a full match donor, which initially reduced concern for GVHD—until lung GVHD symptoms appeared five months post-transplant. This diagnosis triggered new fears, especially around survival, and marked the beginning of her chronic GVHD journey, which later expanded to include fascia involvement. Rebecca explains the physical and emotional toll—early menopause, chronic fatigue, cognitive effects, and mobility challenges.We discuss how she manages flare-ups with physical therapy, walking, stretching, and even cupping. Despite the physical setbacks, Rebecca remains actively involved with her family, thanks to a flexible job, long-term disability support, and a strong support system. Her husband takes on parenting duties when her health dips, and her kids have learned small routines to help protect her from illness, such as wearing masks and showering after school. These steps, while difficult, have helped them all cope as a unit.Rebecca also opens up about the mental health side of survivorship—dealing with PTSD, depression, and a sense of loss over her former self. She credits her psychologist, psychiatrist, and peer support groups as vital tools for managing the psychological weight. Online and in-person GVHD groups have connected her to other young adults navigating similar terrain, helping her feel less alone.Despite not returning to her full-time career, Rebecca is finding meaning in her part-time work and family life. Her goals have shifted—from professional advancement to simply watching her kids grow up. Whether it's family vacations or bedtime snuggles, she cherishes these moments. Her ultimate aim is to be present for her daughter's high school graduation in 2037. Every step forward, no matter how small, is part of the victory.Want to connect with a Young Adult Survivor Group?

Your bones, brain, and muscles are having the same conversation—and nutrition is the translator. Duke orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein breaks down how midlife hormone shifts accelerate bone loss, cartilage wear, and muscle decline, and why training + food choices can improve all three at once. We cover earlier DEXA timing, the bone–brain crosstalk (osteocalcin, agility, balance), and a practical plan: progressive strength, safe impact/jump options (step drops, heel drops, rebounders), grip and toe work for fall prevention, and weighted vests/rucking basics. On the nutrition side, we get specific: prioritize protein, aim for food-first calcium, and use targeted support where appropriate—vitamin D, omega-3s, magnesium glycinate, collagen, and turmeric—to lower inflammation, protect joints, and support cognition. Expect clear modifications for cranky knees/shoulders, plus why consistent movement is linked to reduced dementia risk. This episode is your integrated blueprint to build bone, protect your brain, and keep muscle on your frame—so you stay strong, steady, and independent for decades. Actionable, hopeful, and BS-free—use this episode to build stronger bones, happier joints, and real confidence for the next 20 years.Follow Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein at https://www.instagram.com/jocelyn_wittstein_md/Her book, The Complete Bone and Joint Health Plan, is available at booksellers._________________________________________1:1 health and nutrition coaching or Faster Way - Reach me anytime at mailto:mfolanfasterway@gmail.com If you're doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, it may be time to look deeper.

In today's world, aging brings both wisdom and challenges—yet conversations about dementia are too often whispered in the shadows of fear and stigma. What if a single one-hour session could replace those whispers with confident, compassionate action? That's the promise of the Dementia Friends program: a global movement revolutionizing how communities support individuals living with dementia, and those who love them.On a recent Positive Aging Community podcast, host Steve Gurney spoke with Jennifer Hammer, Assistant Director of Dementia Friendly America at USAging, and Marty Williman, Program Director at the Ohio Council for Cognitive Health. Together, they described Dementia Friends as not just educational, but deeply human—designed to foster inclusion, reduce isolation, and demonstrate that living well with dementia is possible.A Global Movement Rooted in EmpathyDementia Friends isn't clinical; it's for everyone—neighbors, cashiers, librarians, even zoo staff. Launched in the US in 2016, the program is now part of a worldwide network across 50+ countries, aiming to change how we think, act, and speak about dementia. Under the umbrella of Dementia Friendly America and USAging, Dementia Friends works alongside the Dementia Friendly Communities initiative and Memory Cafe Alliance, each supporting those impacted by dementia. Williman noted, “We haven't found a community sector yet that couldn't use this information.” With most people with dementia living in their communities, not nursing homes, these programs help everyone play a part in creating supportive environments.Inside a Dementia Friends SessionSessions are casual, interactive, and welcoming—no prior knowledge required. Led by trained volunteers called Champions, each session covers basics: what dementia is, types, and risk factors. But the heart lies in five core messages—crowdsourced from people with dementia in the UK—that debunk myths with hope:Dementia isn't a normal part of aging; it's caused by brain disease.It's more than memory loss—judgment, communication, and decision-making are also affected.Living well with dementia is possible, grounded in adaptation, dignity, and respect.Capping off the hour are practical tips and an “action pledge.” Participants receive resources customized for their region. Williman shared that nearly everyone knows someone impacted by dementia, and that the networking these sessions spark is often life-changing.From Fear to Hope: Real StoriesThe program's impact is seen in how perceptions shift: Asked what words come to mind before and after a session, people move from “fear” and “regression” to “hope,” “respect,” and “fighter.” Williman recalled an attendee who decided to reconnect with a sibling living with dementia after years; others, like first responders and adult day staff, now embed Dementia Friends in orientation and ongoing training. Ohio's program is adapted for developmental disability communities, faith groups, and even those aging in incarcerated settings—underscoring its universal relevance.Looking Ahead: Dementia FriendsgivingMomentum for Dementia Friends is building. On November 18, 2025, Dementia Friendly America will host its free “Dementia Friendsgiving” event, with expert sessions, networking, and a keynote by acclaimed dementia educator Teepa Snow. Hosted by Gurney, it's a major national inflection point for inclusion and learning. Find details and registration at dfamerica.org.Why This MattersDementia touches people of all backgrounds—young, old, at book clubs or airports. Dementia Friends proves that awareness bridges stigma and empathy, empowering anyone to make a difference. Hammer summed up the impact: “This is the most positive job I've ever had.” Williman emphasized the ripple effect: change starts with one person, one action, one community.

Nationally recognized psychiatrist, internist, and addiction medicine specialist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article, "How President Biden's cognitive health shapes political and legal trust." While carefully observing the ethical constraints of the Goldwater Rule, he analyzes the public discourse surrounding the cognitive health of former President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. from a medico-legal standpoint. Muhamad explains how the former president's known medical history, including surgeries for cerebral aneurysms, creates a clinical basis for concern about potential cognitive decline consistent with vascular dementia. He argues that public moments of cognitive lapse, combined with practices like the use of an autopen for official signatures, raise legitimate questions about a leader's decision-making capacity and the validity of their actions. The core of his argument is an unequivocal call to establish clear, impartial, and publicly accountable protocols for cognitive health assessments for all national leaders, asserting that this is essential to uphold public trust and the integrity of the office.
