Send us a textThis episode of The Trillium Show is a departure from what we usually talk about here.I'm not discussing plastic surgery, aesthetics, or performance. I'm sharing my family's experience with dementia, specifically, my mother's journey and everything it changed for our family along the way.Dementia is one of the most cruel and isolating diseases I've ever encountered. It doesn't just affect the person diagnosed, it reshapes relationships, creates conflict, forces impossible decisions, and quietly wears down the people trying to help. And unlike many other illnesses, almost no one talks about it while they're going through it.So this week, I'll walk through our story from the early signs we missed, to diagnosis, caregiving at home, safety concerns, memory care, and ultimately losing my mother. I talk honestly about what we did right, what we did wrong, and what I wish we had done differently.This conversation isn't medical advice, it's lived experience. My hope is that by sharing our story, someone listening won't feel so alone, won't have to reinvent the wheel, and might be better prepared for the road ahead.If you're dealing with dementia in your family, or you suspect you might be someday, this episode is for you.

This episode is a continuation of my two-part interview with Professor of Neurology and author Dr. James Noble. We continue discussing his book, "Navigating Life with Dementia," how dementia is diagnosed, what can be done about it, and much more.

Minnesota not so nice, Take me to Church, DEI wins!, You're on the list, This week in Heated Rivalry, Starfleet Academy so woke, Porn Con 2026 and, as always, more tangents than you can count.

He agreed to do this interview. Then he forgot. Then he agreed again. Then he forgot again. My dad's short-term memory is gone, but the stories from his past? Still crystal clear. Chemistry explosions, crocodiles in the family pool, and why he listed Nietzsche, Jesus Christ, and John Lennon when the military came calling.

It's a controversial topic, fasting, especially for women. Dr. Mindy Pelz was teaching women to fast primarily because they wanted to lose weight, but what she was witnessing was women saying things like, "I lost weight, but my hair's falling out. I don't have a period anymore. I sat down with Dr. Mindy Pelz, New York Times bestselling author of Age Like a Girl, hormone expert, and the voice redefining fasting for women - because doing it wrong can wreck your health. We explore why fasting affects women differently, how ketones can restore brain function during menopause, and why understanding your hormonal cycle is critical for metabolic health, cognitive performance, and longevity.

What if the real question isn't just how to live longer, but why so many people are living longer and healthier lives on paper, yet feel depleted, inflamed, disconnected, or cognitively foggy in daily life?In this solo episode, Dr. Taz reframes what longevity really means and why healthy aging has far less to do with chasing more years and far more to do with protecting cellular health, vitality, and resilience across decades. She explains why humans are living longer than ever before, yet not necessarily living better, and how focusing only on disease management or biohacking trends misses the real drivers of aging.You'll learn why longevity is not defined by a number, but by biological age, health span, and cellular aging, and how inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, gut imbalance, nervous system stress, emotional disconnection, and loss of community quietly accelerate aging long before symptoms become diagnoses.This episode reframes longevity as a full body system, not a supplement stack or a protocol. One that integrates physical health, brain function, emotional regulation, spirituality, and community. When these systems fall out of sync, aging speeds up. When they are supported together, living longer becomes living with clarity, strength, and purpose.Dr. Taz shares: • What longevity actually means and why lifespan and health span are not the same • Why humans are living longer but not necessarily healthier • How cellular aging, inflammation, and metabolic stress drive chronic disease • Why diet quality, gut health, liver function, movement, sleep, and nervous system balance matter more than biohacking • How cognitive reserve, dopamine regulation, and emotional health protect the aging brain • Why community and spirituality are overlooked but essential pillars of healthy aging • Where peptides, hormones, and modern longevity tools fit and where they don't • How to build a longevity plan that is realistic, accessible, and sustainableWhether you're thinking about how to live longer, worried about aging faster than you should, or simply want to protect your health span as you move through midlife and beyond, this episode offers a grounded, integrative roadmap.Longevity is not about optimizing harder. It's about supporting the systems that keep you well, year after year.Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)Chapters00:00 Longevity is not about more years00:50 Are humans really living longer01:49 The global aging reality03:31 Why aging became something to fear05:17 Aging on a spectrum, not a number06:07 The hidden disease burden of aging08:31 Cellular aging explained09:45 Why biohacking misses the foundation11:10 The five-body approach to longevity13:10 Community, emotion, and aging14:05 Diet, inflammation, and cellular health16:19 Medications, gut health, and aging16:49 Fasting, calories, and longevity18:52 What eating for longevity actually means19:39 Movement and aging well21:35 Sleep, repair, and brain health22:50 Dementia, cognitive reserve, and prevention24:20 Dopamine, emotion, and brain aging26:49 Spirituality, community, and vitality30:05 Peptides, hormones, and future medicine31:58 A new vision for positive aging32:48 Longevity is built day by day (00:00) - Longevity is not about more years (00:50) - Are humans really living longer (01:49) - The global aging reality (03:31) - Why aging became something to fear (05:17) - Aging on a spectrum, not a number (06:07) - The hidden disease burden of aging (08:31) - Cellular aging explained (09:45) - Why biohacking misses the foundation (11:10) - The five-body approach to longevity (13:10) - Community, emotion, and aging (14:05) - Diet, inflammation, and cellular health (16:19) - Medications, gut health, and aging (16:49) - Fasting, calories, and longevity (18:52) - What eating for longevity actually means (19:39) - Movement and aging well (21:35) - Sleep, repair, and brain health (22:50) - Dementia, cognitive reserve, and prevention (24:20) - Dopamine, emotion, and brain aging (26:49) - Spirituality, community, and vitality (30:05) - Peptides, hormones, and future medicine (31:58) - A new vision for positive aging (32:48) - Longevity is built day by day

Japan is home to the world’s oldest population and a growing share of the country’s financial assets – about $2 trillion – are controlled by seniors who are showing signs of cognitive decline.

BrainStorm wants to hear from you! Send us a text.This episode of BrainStorm, by UsAgainstAlzheimer's, features host Meryl Comer interviewing Leah Fisher, a psychotherapist and author who took a bold year-long solo travel sabbatical at age 60 to explore different cultures while maintaining her marriage. The conversation takes a poignant turn as Fisher reveals that after the events in her book, she received an MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment) diagnosis with elevated Alzheimer's risk. She candidly shares her journey of recognizing early symptoms like misplacing car keys and developing aphasia, the validation that came with diagnosis, and her current experience living with uncertainty about disease progression. Fisher offers insights on how couples cope with health diagnoses, the importance of curiosity over avoidance, and her desire to be treated with patience, kindness, and continued love as she faces an uncertain future. This conversation is essential listening for family members, caregivers, and anyone navigating aging and brain health. Produced by Susan QuirkSupport the show

In this thought-provoking conversation, Teepa Snow and Greg explore what care partnering truly means, and why it doesn't always mean providing hands-on care. They also explore the ways that couples can rethink roles, strengths, and shared commitment as life—and brain change—reshapes the relationship. Care partnering isn't just about tasks — it's about relationships, roles, and shared humanity. A Family's Journey Through Dementia — A Play brings these realities to life through storytelling, humor, and honest moments that reflect how couples and families adapt together over time. This DVD invites us to rethink partnership, recognize strengths beyond hands-on care, and explore what commitment can look like as life and brain change evolve.

In this episode, retired teachers Lisa and Sue-who somehow survived 35+ years in classrooms without permanently losing their minds-talk about aging, memory lapses, and why walking into a room now feels like a pop quiz you didn't study for. They swap stories about forgotten names, family conversations that move faster than their recall, and the comic relief that comes with realizing you're not alone in this stage of life. Along the way, they discuss genetic testing, memory fears, and why grace (for ourselves and others) might be the most important lesson we ever learn.

Summary In this episode of Inspired Caring, host Michele Magner engages in a heartfelt conversation with guests Brenda Freed and Alder Allensworth, both experts in music therapy and dementia care. The discussion centers around the challenges faced by families dealing with Alzheimer's disease, particularly how to communicate the complexities of the illness to children. Alder shares her personal experience as a caregiver for her mother with Alzheimer's, highlighting the emotional toll it takes on families. The trio emphasizes the importance of creating resources that help children understand dementia, fostering empathy and compassion in the younger generation. They introduce their innovative program, 'Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's,' which includes educational videos, a picture book, and song designed to make the topic accessible and relatable for children.KeywordsAlzheimer's, dementia, caregiving, music therapy, children education, empathy, family support, Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's, caregiver resources, sandwich generationTakeaways"I found myself as a sandwich generation caregiver.""We wanted to change that scenario.""Children can learn so you can teach and educate the child.""It's important to be honest with it and it's out there as part of the family.""These are universal skills that every family can benefit from."Sound bites"I found myself as a sandwich generation caregiver.""We wanted to meet people where they're at.""The child can learn so you can teach and educate the child."Chapters00:00 Introduction to Dementia and Caregiving03:53 Personal Experiences with Alzheimer's06:45 Creating Educational Resources for Children10:09 The Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Program13:00 Understanding Alzheimer's Through Videos15:55 Incorporating Children in Caregiving18:48 The Importance of Communication and Honesty22:07 Social Implications of Educating Children25:06 The Unique Picture Book and Its Benefits28:01 Life Skills and Compassion Through Caregiving30:56 Final Thoughts for Caregivers47:01 Podcast Intro Music Project (MASTER BOUNCE - OUTRO).mp3Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Disease Picture bookSong on YouTubeEmail: Mackenziemeetsalzheimers@gmail.com@Mackenziemeetsalzehimers on FB, Instagram, YouTube,LinkedInAlder Playlist: The Beatles, Motown, AbbaBrenda: Ellis, Jamie Harris, Michael O'Connor, Mary GaucheDying and Death singer songwriters: Tommy Byrd (Byrd and Street), FrankGilliganInspired Caring is THE family support & education program that helps families feel calm and confident to make better decisions faster.

Many families look back and realize the early signs of dementia were there long before the diagnosis. In this video, I share real examples from caregivers who noticed subtle changes in hindsight, things that didn't seem like dementia at the time.  These early signs often go beyond memory loss and show up in daily routines, personality, decision-making, and behavior. If you're wondering whether what you're seeing in a loved one is normal aging or something more, this video will help you think differently about early warning signs and when it may be worth getting more information.

In this episode of On Brand, Donny discusses the current state of various brands shaping the zeitgeist, focusing on political and social issues. He begins with a critical analysis of ICE, highlighting statistics that reveal a significant number of those detained are not violent criminals, which he argues is contrary to American values. The conversation shifts to the protests in Iran, where Donny expresses frustration over the lack of attention from the public and celebrities, contrasting it with previous protests related to other global issues. He also touches on the political landscape, noting a growing number of Americans identifying as independents, and discusses various political figures and their actions, including Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, who are facing scrutiny for their stances on military orders. The episode further explores topics such as the Pentagon's reopening of the debate on women in combat roles, the arson of a synagogue in Mississippi, and the ongoing nurses' strike in New York. Donny also highlights positive developments, including the introduction of the first female crash test dummy and Mattel's launch of an autistic Barbie, showcasing a commitment to inclusivity. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to engage with the podcast and stay informed about the brands that impact their lives. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Your Health University, Jamie sits down with Dr. Jimmie Williamson, Chief Behavioral Health Officer at Your Health, to break down why behavioral health belongs inside primary care—not outside it. Jimmie explains how telehealth lowered stigma, how mental health diagnoses (“F codes”) often correlate with frequent ER use, and why Your Health moved from intuition to data-driven referral models using tools like Power BI. They also map the full behavioral health ecosystem—from psych nurse practitioners to therapists to the psych pharmacist—and clarify when and how teams should refer patients for the right level of support. The takeaway is simple: earlier behavioral health intervention can improve lives, reduce hospital visits, and strengthen value-based care outcomes system-wide. www.YourHealth.Org

Today we tackle the most difficult questions about dementia; death either dignity. What happens when your loved one starts to fade? How do you keep a promise to someone losing their mind? Our guest shares her courageous and deeply personal story. First, she noticed small moments of confusion. As a result, she and her husband John began to face the reality of a devastating diagnosis. Consequently, John made a clear choice to live and die with dignity. His wish was to avoid a vegetative state. We explore what it means to honor that decision. This includes navigating the complex emotional and legal journey of seeking death with dignity. Therefore, this episode is a raw look at love and loss. Ultimately, it's a story of a promise kept. It is a promise that allowed a man to maintain his dignity to the very end. Our Guest: Erica Baccus Erica started her professional career in the suburbs of Chicago as an 8th grade English teacher. She went on to San Francisco to become a high-tech marketing, advertising, and research executive. She and her beloved husband John were married for 41 years. Together they lived an active and adventurous life—skiing, golfing, hiking and traveling around the world. Erica enjoys spending time with her son, stepson, stepdaughter and grandkids. Now she helps advocate and educate people about end-of-life decisions exploring the moral and ethical perils so many face.

In this episode of On Brand, Donny discusses various brands shaping the current zeitgeist, including a tragic incident involving ICE, political commentary on immigration, the influence of foreign funding in education, and updates from the entertainment and airline industries. The conversation also touches on retail trends, coaching changes in the NFL, workplace trends, public safety initiatives, health insights, and fitness trends in America. Takeaways Political commentary should transcend partisanship. Foreign funding in education raises concerns about influence. Rebuilding efforts after disasters can be painfully slow. The entertainment industry is seeing a resurgence with new productions. Airlines are changing policies affecting economy travelers. Retail trends show a surprising comeback for bookstores. Coaching changes in the NFL reflect a desire for fresh perspectives. Workplace trends indicate a shift towards employee wellbeing. Public safety initiatives are crucial for community protection.

Nearly half of U.S. adults have undiagnosed hypertension, which increases risks for stroke, heart attack, and early brain impairment due to reduced oxygen and nutrient delivery to neural tissue Early hypertension triggers rapid cellular damage, including endothelial aging, neuronal energy loss, myelin disruption, and blood-brain barrier leakage, all of which accelerate inflammation and cognitive decline even before symptoms appear Long-term high blood pressure leads to changes such as white matter hyperintensities, microbleeds, and brain volume loss. These findings are strongly linked to slower processing, stroke risk, and dementia Dementia risk rises with midlife hypertension, and older adults with high blood pressure show accelerated brain aging; regular monitoring beginning around age 40 helps reduce long-term cognitive decline Treatment can reverse some early damage, while lifestyle strategies such as diet changes, exercise, and better sleep significantly lower blood pressure and help protect long-term brain health

In this episode of The Neuro Experience, I sit down with Mike Feldstein to explain how indoor air quality affects the brain and nervous system. They break down why indoor air is often more polluted than outdoor air and how modern buildings trap particles and chemicals. The conversation also covers airflow, off-gassing from everyday materials, and the realities of mould and environmental testing. Discover: • Why indoor air can be 10x more polluted than outdoor air • How airflow and building design influence air quality • What VOCs, metals, and mold particles actually mean biologically • Why air and mold testing is often misleading • How detox culture can increase nervous system stress

Michael Savage revisits his book Reducing the Risk of Alzheimer's, now reissued with updated research that links aluminum exposure to this modern disease. Prompted by political debates over President Biden's cognition, Savage draws a clear line between normal aging and true dementia, warning the distinction is being intentionally blurred. He identifies hidden aluminum sources in everyday life, outlines practical prevention through nutrition, exercise, and mental activity, and cautions that common medications may raise dementia risk. The episode argues Alzheimer's is not inevitable—and that informed, disciplined choices can meaningfully reduce the threat.
