"All good things come to an end." I really despise that saying, but I'm afraid it's undeniable. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way as the Good Doctor (with the help of Jeff Morris) puts together his final two shows. The Doctor Demento Show has been a hugely important part of my life since I first tuned in back in the 1970s, under the covers on a Sunday night when I was supposed to be asleep. His devotion to all things musical and to all things silly had never been (and will never be) equaled. Thank you, Barret Hansen, for everything you've dedicated your life to. And another thank you, Doctor, for playing (and premiering) this song as part of your penultimate broadcast on October 4, 2025. I didn't think I'd ever get another new song on your show, but you and Jeff squeezed this in, and I really appreciate it! And speaking of Jeff... Jeff Morris kindly and patiently worked with me on this while in the midst of the busiest period imaginable. Huge thanks to you Jeff, for all you do in the name of deeeeeeeeeemented music!

What happens when dementia takes away the ability to make decisions—and why can waiting too long to make plans cause significant issues? They share practical ways to start conversations about medical care, finances, and end-of-life wishes—while voices and opinions can still be clearly shared. ✨ Want more guidance on planning and readiness?

Mickal Lewis, Associate Director of the Center of Excellence on Dementia Risk Reduction with the Alzheimer's Association, shares how Community Health Workers play an essential role supporting a continuum of care for community members with dementia, and how public health leaders can help advance progress; Jeffrey Ekoma, Senior Director of Government Affairs at ASTHO, provides an update on the current government shutdown and explains how federal health agencies are impacted in this week's View from Washington, D.C. report; a new ASTHO report provides key resources that can help state and territorial health departments break down silos and collaborate with their partners in Medicaid agencies to improve health outcomes in their communities; and Dr. Susan Kansagra, Chief Medical Officer at ASTHO, was recently quoted in a story for STAT Health about low-income children's lack of access to the Covid-19 vaccine.  Frontiers in Public Health Research Article: Community health workers: developing roles in public health dementia efforts in the United States ASTHO Legislative Alert: Federal Government Shutdown Update: Contingency Plans Released ASTHO Report: Leveraging Public Health Assets in Medicaid Managed Care STAT Health: Low-income children lack access to Covid vaccines because of approval delay  

According to an investigation by The Verge, Google has allegedly been censoring searches involving "Donald Trump" and "dementia." The search engine no longer provides an AI summary, as it does for other searches, and instead says that this feature is not available. However, the AI summary shows up immediately when doing the same search for Joe Biden and possible dementia. The owners of Google were present at Trump's inauguration, so this isn't as surprising as you'd think - disgusting, yes, but not surprising.Multiple sources confirmed to The Washington Post that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are planning to force THOUSANDS of Pentagon employees to take polygraph tests so that they can try to find out who keeps leaking information. The irony, of course, is that all of their schemes to find leakers have been leaked to the press before they can even happen. Polygraph tests are unreliable to the point where they aren't even admissible in court, and the testing so far hasn't stopped any of the leaks or found any leakers. The Trump administration has ordered furloughed federal employees to set up "out of office" reply emails on their accounts during the government shutdown, and employees have been ORDERED to blame Democrats for the shutdown in their email messages. Staffers at multiple government agencies were given word-for-word scripts that they are to use, blaming Democrats in the Senate for the shutdown, even as Republicans control every single branch of the government. But polls already show the public is blaming Republicans for the shutdown.Two weeks ago, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. had the highest approval rating of any official in the Trump administration, sitting at a pathetic NEGATIVE four points. That was obviously still really bad, but still better than other officials in the administration. After his recent antics, however, he now has the LOWEST approval rating of any cabinet official. He managed to destroy his entire public image (the little bit that he had) in less than two weeks, and that is nothing short of amazing. Donald Trump had another major, unhinged meltdown on Truth Social on Thursday morning as he claimed that it was the Democrats who had gone "stone cold crazy." The man is completely off his rocker at this point, and all of his attacks on other people's sanity and intelligence is the most transparent projection we've ever seen.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Language and imagery shape how aging is perceived, influencing public opinion, policies, and community support. In this episode of This Is Getting Old: Moving Toward an Age-Friendly World, Dr. Melissa Batchelor and Hannah Albers from the National Center to Reframe Aging discuss research-backed strategies to communicate about aging in ways that reduce ageism and highlight older adults' contributions. The discussion covers the gap between expert and public perceptions of aging, communication traps to avoid, and practical strategies that have been applied successfully in real-world settings. Topics include emphasizing aging as a process of growth, framing supports for meaningful lives, addressing frailty without paternalism, presenting ageism as a solvable problem, and using imagery that reflects older adults as active and engaged members of the community.

Celebrate a decade of AlzAuthors with this replay of a film discussion from our first film festival! Marianne Sciucco and the AlzAuthors community gathered to discuss Susie Singer Carter's documentary series No Country for Old People, inspired by her painful but illuminating journey alongside her mother in a five-star Los Angeles nursing facility. Key Topics Behind the Film: Susie shares what drove her to make No Country for Old People, highlighting the persistent systemic crises in long-term care and her struggle to advocate for her mom within a broken system. She discusses both personal and policy challenges—from underfunding and understaffing to navigating Medicaid and family caregiver roles.Caregiving Realities: Multiple audience members and guests brought their own lived experiences—from those who have placed loved ones in care homes to those doing the daily grind at their side. Honest input covers the isolation and exhaustion of caregiving, the guilt and judgments faced, and the varied trajectories and needs of those with dementia.Systemic and Cultural Barriers: The episode reveals the complexities behind facility care: understaffing, high turnover, the business model of elder care, and how profit-driven motives can lead to neglect, overmedication, and a lack of dignity for residents.Advocacy and Taking Action: Susie announced the ROAR initiative—Respect, Oversight, Advocacy, and Reform for Long Term Care. She stresses the urgent need for grassroots collective action and oversight to drive meaningful change for people living with dementia and their caregivers. Standout Quotes from Susie Singer Carter “Love is super powerful. I think it's our greatest tool.”“Documentaries are not money makers. They are changemakers at best.”“We have a broken system... But it's so important to know what's out there and what's really happening.” Takeaways Caregiver stories are unique—what works (or doesn't) varies case by case.The importance of advocacy and family involvement doesn't end with placement in a facility; sometimes, it increases.Systemic reforms are desperately needed, and community effort can move the needle.Connection, creativity, and compassion remain vital tools in the caregiving journey. Next Up Tune in to the upcoming episode with Frank Silverstein as he discusses his short film, Lousy: Love in the Time of Dementia, and continue engaging with films that capture the real, raw, and sometimes uplifting world of dementia caregiving.

People with dementia who develop inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) show faster deterioration in thinking, memory, and reasoning skills A large-scale analysis of 7.9 million participants revealed IBD patients face significantly elevated dementia risk, with Crohn's disease showing stronger association than ulcerative colitis IBD triggers systemic inflammation, releasing cytokines that breach the blood-brain barrier, disrupting neural communication and contributing to progressive neurodegeneration over time IBD creates gut dysbiosis, producing neurotoxic metabolites, and increasing intestinal permeability, allowing harmful substances to reach the brain through bloodstream circulation Supporting cellular health through vegetable oil elimination, proper carbohydrates, targeted probiotics, vitamin D optimization, and natural antimicrobials can address IBD's root causes

I Made It with Cartoon Characters (It's Weird but Not Atrocious) (parody of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from Mary Poppins) Music by The Sherman Brothers New lyrics by Sulu Special thanks to : the great Luke Ski (the inspiration behind this song) Christopher Bay Jeff Morris (for technical and audio assistance) Michael Lestatkatt (for technical and audio assistance) Mike Kieffer Steve Goodie (for sharing his stage with me, allowing me to debut the song in front of a live audience)) David Vasquez and Jeff Lewis at Moonlight Studios L.A. (production) And last but not least: Dr. Demento (Beh) I've always been a loyal fan of cartoon characters of the 1960s and '70s, and wondered what it would be like to have them be my friends. I always fantasized about jumping into an animation reel with them. Ha ha! the great Luke Ski was always doing funny cartoon-related songs, which served as inspiration for me, as well as current movies and TV series about modern cartoon characters. I decided to spice up the lyrics and take my fantasy friendships up a notch!

Low Muscle Power Increases Risk of Death Podcast || Dare to Be Vital BookFIVE PRIMARY POINTS THE PODCAST:Deep Breathing vs. Microdosing PsychedelicsMusic-facilitated deep breathing protocols can evoke altered states of consciousness similar to those reported with psychedelic microdosing. Participants experienced less fear and sadness, unity, and bliss—without the risks of psychedelics. This suggests breathwork may be a safe, non-pharmacologic tool for mood regulation and mental health.Fasting Preserves StrengthA study of a 12-day very low-calorie fast (≤250 calories/day) showed muscle mass shrank mostly due to water loss, not tissue breakdown. Strength and power were preserved, fat was used efficiently for energy, mitochondria stayed healthy, and women even improved fat metabolism. Fasting may also help prevent neurological diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.Purpose Protects the BrainA large 15-year study of nearly 14,000 people found those with a higher sense of purpose had a 28% lower risk of dementia, even after accounting for genetics, education, and depression. Purpose is highlighted as the most important modifiable vitality asset—choosing and clarifying one's purpose can directly improve long-term health and resilience.Breathing as a Vitality SuperpowerConscious breathing affects longevity, mood, focus, and sleep. Proper nose breathing boosts oxygenation and brain function, while techniques like cyclic sighing, 4-7-8 breathing, and box breathing improve mood, reduce stress, and enhance focus. Oxygen saturation above 96% is a key biomarker of longevity.Actionable Takeaways* Explore deep breathing as a drug-free therapy for mental well-being.* Use fasting strategically for weight control and brain protection.* Define a personal purpose statement (≤8 words) to guide decisions and boost vitality.* Adopt simple daily breathing practices for health and performance.* Purpose and deep breathing are core pillars of long-term vitality.Copyright VyVerse®, LLC.

Could artificial intelligence actually increase dementia risk? In this video, I break down new research from MIT that shows how relying too much on AI tools like ChatGPT may reduce brain activity, weaken memory, and cut down on the very mental exercise that protects us from dementia. I'll share what this study means for caregivers, how to use AI without harming your brain health, and simple ways to keep your mind strong while caring for your loved one. Your brain health matters just as much as your loved one's. Let's talk about what's safe, what's risky, and how to stay sharp in an AI world.

This week, Diane compares 10 year hybrid Life/LTC plans with 10 year paid up funding for a couple age 50, age 60, and age 70 to share why it's so much better for everyone when we plan early. Even though we don't want to think about it, at age 50, we need to consider what our 70 year old self, our 80 year old self and even our 90 year old self may be like and what kind of help we may need. Genuinely see the older people around you - your family, people at the grocery store, people walking out to their mailbox to get the mail.  Are they moving more slowly or unbalanced as compared to how they may have been able to move around 10, 20 or 30 years ago? Why would we really think we'll be different? By starting at age 50 onstead of 60, you could save hundreds of thousands of dollars in premiums over your lifetime, get your policies paid in full before you retire and then have 10 times what you paid in premiums to pay for care needs wherever you and your family and doctor sees as the best and safest place for you to live and get help living. You'll know you have a plan for when things don't go as planned. View current and projected costs od care where you live  and remember to use a 5% cost of living adjustment when considering future costs as that is the average rate of inflation on LTC services. Schedule a phome or zoom meetign to start designing your plan

The Trump administration continues to question long-standing science with unproven ties between vaccines, autism, and a popular painkiller. Meantime, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has outlined new recommendations for vaccines. We'll sort it out with CPR's health reporter John Daley. Then, new research looks at if activities, like the way we drive, could be an early indicator Alzheimer's and other types of dementia. 

Dr. John Gartner, former Johns Hopkins professor and co-host of the podcast ‘Shrinking Trump,' joins the Beast's Joanna Coles to deliver a chilling diagnosis: Donald Trump is showing signs of dementia layered on top of malignant narcissism. Drawing on decades of clinical expertise, Dr. Gartner explains how Trump's declining language, erratic gait, and disturbing anecdotes point to brain deterioration that makes him not just unpredictable but uniquely dangerous in office. Coles presses him on how Trump's narcissism compares to King Charles' public persona, whether his cabinet and family are retreating from his volatility, and what it means when a leader with nuclear codes also displays symptoms of mini-strokes and confabulation. From Hitler's psychology to Bill Clinton's benign narcissism, this episode explores how power amplifies paranoia, cruelty, and decay—and asks the starkest question of all: as Trump weakens physically and mentally while tightening his grip on authority, how far can Trumpism go before it breaks America?
