When someone we know or love starts to develop psychological issues, we don't often associate it with a form of dementia. However, this trait is one of the most common signs of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) — the most common neurodegenerative disease in people under the age of 65. In his new book, Mysteries of the Social Brain: Understanding Human Behavior Through Science, Dr. Bruce Miller highlights his experiences observing people with FTD and what they have taught him about what he calls the "social brain."Dr. Bruce Miller has been observing people with FTD for decades in the Memory and Aging Center at the University of San Francisco, where he is also Professor of Neurology and the Founding Director of the Global Brain Health Institute. He shares key insights on how to keep our "social brain" healthy and how it can even unlock our creative potential.

Dr. Greg Cooper talks with Dr. David A. Wolk about limbic predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE) discussing its clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and the importance of recognizing this condition in the context of Alzheimer disease.

This is such an important topic to cover, even for a pediatrician. Dementia! This problem is slated to exponentially worsen in the coming decades. And it starts at birth! ​In the intricate landscape of Alzheimer's disease (AD), emerging research underscores a pivotal yet under explored facet for the why?, the brain's energy immunometabolism. A recent study by Patel et al., titled "Global Energy Metabolism Deficit in Alzheimer Disease Brain," delves into this domain, revealing significant metabolic disruptions that may illuminate novel upstream causes and possible therapies. ​ For the better part of the last few decades, all AD research centered on the amyloid and tau plaques as the causative problem. However, billions of dollars and many drugs later, this hypothesis has crashed and burned. Failed therapies coupled to the skyrocketing volume of AD patients in the US over the next few decades will burden the US healthcare system and families alike. Folks, we need better answers and therapies rapidly. Thus, I have been following this information on and off over the years looking for answers. Last month, Dr. David Perlmutter gave an excellent lecture on microglial cells in the brain and their impact on AD and neurocognition in general. One paper that he cited was the Patel paper. Let's look at it. Dr. M

Wellness expert and author Heather Grzych speaks with health innovator James Maskell about one of today's most pressing health concerns: cognitive decline. James shares his personal story of helping his father recover from severe memory loss due to mold exposure and explains why the current medical model is failing to address conditions like Alzheimer's effectively. The conversation explores the early warning signs of cognitive issues, the importance of community-based care, and how lifestyle factors like sleep, nutrition, and social connection play a critical role in brain health. James also discusses his work at the intersection of functional medicine, technology, and community, including new tools like AI-powered decision support and virtual care groups aimed at reversing cognitive decline and transforming how we deliver healthcare.   James Maskell is on a mission to flatten the curve of healthcare costs and has spent the past decade innovating at the cross section of functional medicine and community.

His first organization, podcast and best selling book of the same name, Evolution of Medicine, prepares health professionals for this new era of personalized, participatory medicine. Since then he has created a number of organizations to scale access to health focused care. His projects include Knew Health (affordable alternative to health insurance acq. 2019) HealCommunity (virtual groups as a service acq 2023, and TruNeura (AI powered decision support for reversing cognitive decline). He also consults startups, healthcare systems and sovereign nations in their efforts to adapt to Non Communicable Disease.

It's not news that if you don't get a good nights sleep you will probably not be your best the next day, but while you are snoozing, particularly in deep sleep, your brain is not just powered down, it is busy cleaning out the days toxins, almost like it is ‘washing your brain' and getting it ready for the next day.   “Sleep is not just a state where things turn off. Sleep is a very active state for the brain – and it seems to be a special state for fluid flow within the brain,” says Laura Lewis, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Boston University in the Guardian newspaper.  What happens if we don't get enough deep sleep? How can we boost our deep sleep?

FULL SUMMARY: https://eggshelltherapy.com/podcast-blog/2025/05/22/andrew_belfour/Today, we're joined by Dr. Balfour, a clinical psychologist, couples therapist, and psychoanalytic psychotherapist. He is the author of Life and Death: Our Relationship with Ageing, Dementia, and Other Fates of Time. In this conversation, we delve into the intersection of aging, relationships, and the search for meaning. Dr. Belfour shares his research on fostering emotional connections for couples in which one partner has dementia, and how small, everyday moments can create meaning even in the most challenging circumstances.Dr. Balfour also reflects on society's neglect of aging and mortality as crucial topics, attributing this to our collective fear of vulnerability and a cultural obsession with youth. This discussion doesn't shy away from the realities of aging, such as dependency, increased vulnerability, and existential regrets, but it also offers hope. Dr. Balfour shares valuable insights on navigating the challenges of aging, loneliness, and regret, providing practical ways to foster resilience and connection.  I hope this conversation resonates with you and offers a meaningful opportunity to consider these important themes.About Dr. Andrew Balfour:Andrew Balfour trained as a clinical psychologist at University College London and then as an adult psychotherapist at the Tavistock & Portman NHS Trust. He subsequently trained as a couple psychotherapist at Tavistock Relationships, where for more than 10 years he was Clinical Director before becoming Chief Executive in 2016. Dr. Balfour's book: Life and Death Our Relationship with Ageing, Dementia, and Other Fates of Time, published by Routledge in 2025Eggshell Therapy and Coaching: eggshelltherapy.com/Imi Lo:  imiloimilo.comSister Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3Zcl8ZUsu4AePugDoWtXcgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/eggshelltransformationsNewsletters: https://eepurl.com/bykHRzDisclaimers: https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/disclaimers  Trigger Warning: This episode may cover sensitive topics including but not limited to suicide, abuse, violence, severe mental illnesses, relationship challenges, sex, drugs, alcohol addiction, psychedelics, and the use of plant medicines.

This week, we need to pay attention that LTC is not just a women's issue.  It used to be more focused on women because we live longer and are more likely to live alone when help is needed.   Today, with so many divorces, we have a lot of single men who will also be living alone when help is needed.  But men are the providers for their kids and familiues.  There is no time to consider that you won't be providing. LTC insurance helps you continue to provide for and protect your kids, even if you can no longer provide for yourself.  It's hard to think and talk about this today, but without a plan, it will be more difficult and costly to your kids later. Watch this 3 minute tear jerking video of a son showering and shaving his dad When we have help helping our parents, it doesn't mean we don't love them as much.  It means they loved us enough to prepare for this day and not overwhelm us.

Discover my premium podcast, The Aliquot Vitamin D is far more than just a vitamin—it's a potent steroid hormone regulating nearly 5% of our genome. Yet, remarkably, up to 70% of Americans aren't getting enough, placing them at increased risk for dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

Savage addresses the "sudden" Biden diagnosis and why he believes it's a coverup. He explains how prostate cancer is diagnosed and why he is skeptical that this is a new diagnosis. Listen back to how Savage exposed the Dems for hiding the truth about Biden's declining health THREE YEARS AGO in 2022! Then, Savage reflects on the philosophical nature of life and time, urging listeners to choose life amid a culture that often glorifies death and negativity. He contrasts the close-knit community of his youth in the Bronx with today's disconnected society, emphasizing the importance of choosing life in our daily actions. He blasts the Left for being the party of death and explains how leftist policies worldwide are killing Western society.

BrainStorm wants to hear from you! Send us a text.This episode of BrainStorm by UsAgainstAlzheimer's features Muffy Walker, a psychiatric nurse, and founder of the International Bipolar Foundation.  Her new novel Memory Weavers is based on her professional and personal experiences caring for family members with Alzheimer's disease and issues of mental illness that inspire her advocacy work.

Her novel includes valuable resources now available to patients and caregivers that weren't accessible when her mother was diagnosed 23 years ago. This is a must listen episode!Support the show

May 19, 2025 Street Soldiers Radio discusses how Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia affects and impacts our families and communities.

Recognizing potential signs of dementia in a loved one can be stressful and even paralyzing. A person can be left wondering what to do next.Miles for Memories has developed some guidance in this area with a resource card called "What's Next?".In this episode of Creating Dementia Solutions, Miles for Memories founder Sherii Sherban talks about the intended use of the card - and how it can help folks gain focus with suggested tasks.Episode ResourcesThe Lancet Commission Risk Factors for DementiaMiles for Memories websiteMiles for Memories technologySherii Sherban talks to Community Matters about MFM technologyMore Creating Dementia Solutions episodesABOUT MILES FOR MEMORIESMiles For Memories is a Calhoun County, Michigan organization created in 2013 to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's Disease. Later in 2014, the vision was expanded to include all types of dementia. MFM raises money each year through sponsorships, community events, and grants to gather funds to create local programming for both the person living with dementia and the caregiver. Along with local efforts, 20% of the funds to prevention-related dementia research. Miles for Memories is a committee of 70-plus volunteers and are always looking for more to get involved.

“I think that my analytic awareness of denial and projection and the concreteness of psychic reality when executive function wanes, that I could help the other caretakers to understand some of what was going on - to give them a way to understand that relieves their sense of frustration and uncertainty. I think that the analytic awareness of denial, of projection, that these things are not generally recognized by many caretakers, but it does reorient and make the caretaking function much more tolerable. It expands the understanding of what goes on in the waning personality. I also think that analytic work fosters the capacity to tolerate ambiguity, uncertainty, pain and frustration and in that way may allow us, the analytic mind, to tolerate some of the intense affect - as sort of the phrase I love from an Italian analyst, as “writings waiting to be completed” - by the analytic mind. We can hold and metabolize the difficulty and offer that kind of function rather than unpleasantness just to be rid of. These are some of the things that I felt are useful as a psychoanalyst.” Episode Description: We begin with describing how dementia is a cloud over our field both for individuals and for institutes. Maxine then introduces us to 'Sally' who was her analysand 40 years prior to recontacting her to care for her cognitive decline. Maxine mentions that just hearing her former patient's voice instantly brought alive her past experiences with her. We discuss how she approached the issue of caring for her and her neurological condition. We consider the at times overlap between psychogenic and organic symptoms and she shares with us her countertransference experiences of herself losing her memory. Maxine also shares her approach to answering Sally's questions about the possibility of recovering. We close with her describing how she feels that being an analyst aided her care of Sally and what she learned from that experience that she brought to her other patients -"to face the pain of difficult truths."   Our Guest: Maxine Anderson, MD, is a training and supervising analyst at the Northwestern Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, the Seattle Psychoanalytic Institute and Society and the Canadian Psychoanalytic Society. Originally trained in psychiatry, she pursued psychoanalytic training in Seattle in the early 1970s and then pursued post-graduate work at the British Psychoanalytical Society for 8 years, returning to Seattle in 1992.  Thereafter, she became a Founding Member of the Northwestern Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. Maxine has published several articles, and chapters and 3 books, the most recent being The Hardest Passage: a psychoanalyst accompanies her patient's journey into dementia (Karnac, 2025). Feeling herself now to be an Elder in life and in her field, Maxine hopes to continue to think and write about this phase of personal and professional life.   Recommended Readings: Balfour, A.

In a wild Friday night ride, a revolving crew of Badlands hosts breaks down the newly released Biden interview tapes and spirals into the absurdity of the President's rambling tales of Mongolian horse races, sumo wrestlers, and archery contests. The crew debates whether Biden's dementia has led him to accidentally confess to crimes, while floating theories about Beau Biden's death and the deeper implications of Biden's obsession with his son during document-related questioning. The show doesn't stop there, James O'Keefe's latest “scoops” from Epstein's island come under fire for being more fluff than fact, while drone footage from Rusty Shackelford reignites speculation about tunnels, temples, and coverups. A spirited debate on Biden body doubles, SCOTUS rulings on immigration, and Matt Walsh's controversial comments keeps the energy high. Throw in some AI-generated Stephen Hawking superhero art, accusations of landline-based seduction, and the usual raucous banter, and you've got another classic Liberty Den episode: unpredictable, unfiltered, and unapologetically Badlands.

Buck Sexton is joined by conservative commentator Camryn Kinsey to break down the media's growing reckoning with its role in covering up President Biden's cognitive decline. As reports and insider accounts begin to surface, Camryn shares her perspective on what she calls one of the biggest political cover-ups in modern history. From CNN’s sudden pivot to so-called truth-telling, to Jill Biden’s role behind the scenes, Buck and Camryn expose the media’s hypocrisy and the Democrats’ internal unraveling. Plus, they dive into the chaos unfolding in the DNC, Gen Z’s political shift, and why 2028 could mark a massive turning point.
