Podcasts about Dementia

Breast Pump Ban: It may sound like a headline from another era — but it happened to Dr Elise Turner this week in Melbourne when the mum of twins was told to leave an airport lounge for daring to express milk for her babies. But there’s one crucial detail that most of us missed and which Mia, Jessie and Amelia needed to dig deep into on today's show. And, an update on Bruce Willis’ condition from his wife in her confronting new memoir that hits home for anyone touched by dementia. Jessie shares her personal experience and unpacks the backlash Emma Heming Willis is getting online for the decisions she's making on behalf of her celebrity husband. Plus, Births, Deaths & Marriages. Mia’s got a new segment and a lot to say. From celebrity babies to red carpet chaos, she’s tying it all together… loosely, but entertainingly. Is it an excuse to (scurrilously) gossip about celebrities? Absolutely it is. Does she seamlessly segue into a controversial red carpet analysis? Of course she does.

Many psychiatric labels—like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia—can obscure underlying biology, and symptom checklists often fail to explain or heal what's really going on. Emerging evidence reframes mental illness as a problem of brain energy, mitochondria, and inflammation—shaped by insulin signaling, circadian rhythm disruption, the gut–brain axis, toxins, infections, and nutrient status. Metabolic interventions such as ketogenic nutrition, already established for epilepsy, show promise for rebalancing neurotransmitters, lowering neuroinflammation, and improving overall brain function. With depression now a leading cause of disability, shifting from “manage the symptoms” to “fix the biology” could dramatically improve outcomes where standard drugs fall short. In this episode, Dr. Christopher Palmer, Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Iain Campbell and I explore how rethinking mental illness as a metabolic and inflammatory disorder of the brain—rather than just a chemical imbalance—could transform the treatment and prevention of conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Dr. Chris Palmer is a psychiatrist and researcher working at the interface of metabolism and mental health. He is the Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. For over 25 years, he has held leadership roles in psychiatric education, conducted research, and worked with people who have treatment-resistant mental illnesses. He has been pioneering the use of the medical ketogenic diet in the treatment of psychiatric disorders - conducting research in this area, treating patients, writing, and speaking around the world on this topic. More broadly, he is interested in the roles of metabolism and metabolic interventions on brain health. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. LePine's focus at The UltraWellness Center is to help his patients achieve optimal health and vitality by restoring the natural balance to both the mind and the body. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders.  Dr. lain Campbell is the first academic research fellow to specialise in Metabolic Psychiatry as the Baszucki Research Fellow in Metabolic Psychiatry at the University of Edinburgh. He has a PhD in Global Health from the University of Edinburgh and is a principal investigator on a pilot trial of a ketogenic diet for bipolar disorder. He is a workstream lead and co-investigator on the first publicly funded research hub for Metabolic Psychiatry, the UKRI Medical Research Council Hub for Metabolic Psychiatry at the University of Edinburgh. His research in metabolic psychiatry has been published in Nature press journals Molecular Psychiatry and Translational Psychiatry and presented at Mayo Clinic Grand Rounds and The Royal College of Psychiatrists International Congress.  This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

Dementia isn't just a medical diagnosis—it's a slow, disorienting upheaval of everything you thought you knew about your loved one. One day they remember your birthday, the next they're convinced they're late for a job they left decades ago. Families find themselves navigating a maze of doctor visits, safety concerns, and heartbreaking conversations, all while wondering if they're making the right choices. Alzheimer's demands more than love—it requires knowledge, patience, and a plan to preserve dignity while adapting to a new reality. https://youtu.be/S7qsocNWDUU?si=F5TIKpu4n_gY--QV Lisa Skinner, author of Truth, Lies and Alzheimer's and host of the podcast by the same name, has over 30 years of experience guiding families through dementia care. Today, she shares personal stories and outlined early signs of Alzheimer's, along with strategies for handling difficult behaviors. She emphasizes the value of education, early detection, and strong support systems for caregivers. Her approach blends compassion with practical, actionable advice for those facing the challenges of dementia. Stay tuned! Quotes: “Our instinctive response to these situations is counterintuitive to best practice—the most effective response.” “We want to create as positive an outcome and environment as we possibly can for people living with dementia, for people caring for those living with dementia, and for family members.” “If you start off by learning what to expect and recognizing these things you're witnessing as part of the disease, that's the first step.” Resources: Your compassionate guide on the journey through Alzheimer's and dementia | Lisa Skinner Follow Lisa Skinner on Facebook Connect with Lisa Skinner on LinkedIn

This week, we're discussing worksite/group LTC plans, which have evolved a lot since group plans started being offered through employers. Jason Dutra with shares how they are committed to helping the 50+ million family caregivers in the U.S. today. He shares how today's worksite offerings differ from those offered in previous decades, including guaranteed premiums that never change.  This was a big concern with past plans and has now been resolved. We discuss how worksite plans help both employers and employees prepare for tomorrow's industry and family needs. We also discuss why someone can benefit from having both a worksite and an individual plan. Listen and schedule some time with me   to plan for yourself. Schedule a 15 minute meeting to see if a worksite solution can bring value to your company. View both current and projected future costs of care where you live and be sure to use a 5% cost of living/inflation factor as that's what we've witnessed over the last three decades.

Episode 25:37 Here's 4 Ways To Lower Your A1C Level Naturally  More than 100 million Americans have elevated blood sugar levels… and don't even know it! Another 50 million have elevated levels and DO know it. That's not good! It's not good because elevated blood sugar levels lead to deadly sicknesses and diseases. Disease such as Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer, Alzheimer's and Dementia. So, how do you know if blood sugar levels are elevated? It's easy! Simply have your doctor order a blood test known as an “A1C Test.” If your A1C score is above 5.4 it's considered to be elevated (high).  It also places you at high risk for developing any of the diseases mentioned above. Fortunately, elevated levels of blood sugar… high A1C levels… can be reduced naturally, without drugs. On this episode I discuss four specific tactics for doing just that. Four lifestyle habits that you can begin to implement immediately that will help reduce your blood sugar levels and decrease your risk of developing a chronic disease.  Be sure to give this episode a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend.

What if one of the best solutions to America's biggest challenges—like health, loneliness, and the economy—was as simple as letting people work longer if they want to? In this episode of This is Getting Old, Tim Driver shares why extending opportunities for older adults to remain in the workforce benefits individuals, employers, and society as a whole. Drawing on data, surveys, and real-world examples, Tim shows how working longer can boost health, strengthen businesses, and even lift the economy. But it's not just about employers creating age-friendly environments—older adults also need to stay adaptable and engaged. Together, both sides can reshape what work looks like in an age-friendly world.

Alzheimer's and dementia are some of the scariest realities for adults to consider. No one wants to feel like they're going to lose their mind!But in this day and age, it feels like cognitive decline is inevitable for many of us, “just a normal part of aging.”Similarly, our culture has come to accept that many kids are neurodivergent, that their brains are wired differently. We diagnose it as ADHD or ASD, or we see that 1/3 of our teens have clinical anxiety and we think, “It's just the way the world is. We'll help them navigate.”My guest today, Dr. Kristine Bosnar, wants us all to push back against acceptance. In fact, she says that the neuro-inflammation at the root of Alzheimer's and dementia is the SAME as what we see in kids with ADHD and other mental health struggles! Their brains are on fire.Buckle up and get ready to learn:why brain health is in a steep decline the last 20-30 yearshow it's affecting kids and the projected statisticsalarming correlations between the symptoms of Alzheimer's and ADHD, autism, anxietyclear red flags of brain inflammation that we mustn't ignore in our kidswhat to DO to help kids thrive and reduce neuro-inflammationhow the 3 S's - sugar, sedentary lifestyle, and sleep - are pivotal players in the inflammation gamesimple tips for how to start the day right for brain healththe epidemic of loneliness that we must stop NOW for our kids' generationwhy cooking together with your kids is a powerful (and efficient) step toward brain health for the whole familyResources We Mention for Brain Inflammation in KidsGet Dr. Kristina's Brain Boosting Foods for Kids resource3 Ways Parents Can Help Prevent Depression in Their KidsHear more on ADHD from Mike McLeod and Dana KaySubscribe to the Monday Missions for quick tips to more natural living!

I hope you don't mind me sharing my continuing journey in raising awareness and money for dementia research. I'm releasing an album of my music (and it's not disco!) on 10th October 2025. Here I talk about my fears of writing a song about dementia and getting it wrong. I did care for two close relatives with dementia, but I will never know what it was like from their point of view.The first track from the album is out now. It's called Maybe I'm Gay. It's available to stream and download everywhere. Here's the link to Apple Music.All proceeds from the album, called The Gift, are in aid of the charity, Alzheimer's Research UK. It is estimated that 982,000 people are living with dementia in the UK today, rising to 1.4 million by 2040. In 2022 it was the leading cause of death in the UK. Globally the World Health Organisation estimates that 57 million people have dementia. New cases are occurring at the rate of nearly 10 million each year, which breaks down to about one new case every 3.2 seconds. In the UK, the estimated economic impact of dementia in 2024 was £42.5 billion, a figure that is expected to more than double by 2040.

Caring responsibilities often fall heavily on women in midlife. You're juggling work, family life, menopause — and now, the care of ageing parents or elderly relatives too. It's a huge emotional and physical load, and it can take a real toll on your wellbeing.In this episode of The Happy Menopause, I'm joined by psychologist and neuroscientist Dr Sabina Brennan, author of Still Me, a compassionate, evidence-based guide for anyone caring for someone with dementia. But while dementia is a focus, the practical tips and emotional insights she shares apply to anyone caring for an elderly loved one.We discuss the emotional impact of caring, the early signs that someone might need more support, and how to communicate with empathy and confidence when things get difficult. Sabina explains why it's so easy to lose yourself in the caring role and shares practical strategies to protect your own health, manage stress, and avoid burnout or compassion fatigue. We also talk about the guilt so many carers feel — and how to handle it in a constructive way — as well as her top tips for staying resilient and hopeful in the face of such a demanding role.If you're caring for an elderly loved one in midlife, this conversation offers clarity, comfort, and a wealth of practical advice to help you look after yourself while caring for someone else.
