It's time for another installment of my daily audio show, "Workouts for Geriatrics, AKA, Silver Streakers, Good for ALL Kids from 1-92!" Because whether you're 1 or 92, keeping that brain sharp and those memories strong is vital for a vibrant, fulfilling life.Now, as many of you know, one of my three bucket list retirement goals is to incorporate daily mini-mnemonics right here on the podcast. And these aren't just any mnemonics, oh no! They're all based on the incredible online courses and workshops of a true pioneer in memory training, Dr. Anthony Metivier, creator and innovator of the Magnetic Memory Method!And speaking of Dr. Metivier, I'm thrilled to announce that today we're delving even deeper into his brilliant techniques. He's been a two-time guest on this show, and his insights are truly transformative. Today, we're going to devise a self-help guide for the elderly, specifically starting with a quick mnemonic example of how to tackle something we all do: the dreaded, or delightful, depending on your perspective, shopping list!We're going to create a P.A.O. (Person, Action, Object) and a Memory Palace featuring items on a shopping list. Why? To enhance our memories, of course, and to strengthen our brains through the incredible power of neuroplasticity. That's our brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. Pretty amazing, right?Alright, let's dive right in. Imagine you've got a shopping list.

With more adults living longer, oncology is facing a critical challenge: how to provide cancer care that reflects the realities of aging. In this episode, Dr. Dale walks us through the creation of SOCARE (Specialized Oncology Care and Research in Elders), a clinic that evaluates patients' physical function, cognitive health, and social environment before treatment begins. This kind of assessment leads to better decisions, fewer complications, and care that aligns with each person's capacity and goals.We also talk about the OASIS program, which extends this approach across disciplines, bringing in nurses, pharmacists, and social workers to create a more coordinated experience for patients. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Dale shares real examples and lessons from the field, showing how geriatric oncology can improve not just outcomes, but the entire care process.Episode Highlights:A fresh look at what defines “fitness” for cancer treatment — and why age alone isn't enoughHow SoCare creates space for longer, more thoughtful patient conversationsPractical examples of tailoring chemotherapy, transplant, and CAR T plans for older adultsInsights into building trust with patients and providers through individualized care Resources & LinksCity of Hope – Center for Cancer and Aging: cityofhope.orgASCO Geriatric Oncology Guidelines: asco.org

Workouts for Geriatrics-Alright, let's get those Silver Streakers powered up! Building muscle and boosting stamina in just 15 minutes is a fantastic goal, and making it accessible for everyone from the youngest to the young at heart is Grandpa Bill's Objective. Here's an expansion on our themeExpanding the "Grandpa Bill's Workouts for Geriatrics, AKA Silver Streakers, Good for ALL Kids from 1-92" Theme:Emphasizing Inclusivity: Lean into the "Good for ALL Kids" aspect. This hopefully broadens the appeal and makes it clear that these aren't just for seniors.Highlighting the Time Efficiency: 15 minutes is a huge point for busy individuals of any age. Emphasizing how effective a short, focused workout can be.Focusing on Functional Fitness: Framing the exercises in terms of everyday activities. For example, instead of just "bicep curls," GB refers to examples like "lifting groceries" or "carrying grandkids."

Deborah Kado is a geriatrician who believes her field is misunderstood. Her interest in the science of aging began with a childhood encounter in a nursing home but recently resulted in intriguing work in which Kado linked microbes in the gut to vitamin D metabolism and poor sleep. Kado refuses to blame aging alone for health problems, advocating for better care regardless of age. It's never too late to strive for better health, Kado tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Alright Grandpa Bill, is crafting a short narrative for The BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour, highlighting the value of the MMM program through my experience and connection to Dr. Metivier. Grandpa Bill: Welcomes back one and ALL to the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour,! Sometimes we all can utilize a guide to navigating the sometimes choppy waters of life with a bit of wisdom and a whole lot of heart. Now, as many of you know, I'm a firm believer in keeping the mind sharp and engaged, especially in these golden years. That's why I've been diving deep into the fascinating world of memory improvement through the Magnetic Memory Method program.It's been a real journey of discovery, learning how to build these incredible "Memory Palaces" in my mind – almost like creating a mental filing cabinet for all sorts of information. And guess what? It's not just for remembering where I put my reading glasses! This program, developed by the brilliant Dr. Anthony Metivier, has given me tools to better organize my thoughts, recall important details for the podcast, and even enhance my overall mental clarity.Speaking of Dr. Metivier, I've had the pleasure of hosting him twice on our little show here! His insights into how our minds work and how we can actively train our memory have been truly eye-opening. He breaks down these powerful techniques, like the pegword method he talks about on his website – linking numbers to rhyming words to create memorable associations – in a way that's easy to grasp and, dare I say, even fun!For me, as a student of the MMM program, it's more than just memorizing facts. It's about creating stronger connections to the information, making it more meaningful and accessible. It's about taking an active role in my cognitive well-being, which I believe is a crucial part of holistic healing. By engaging with these techniques daily, I'm not just improving my memory; I'm exercising my mental muscles, fostering creativity, and keeping my mind vibrant and alive.So, if you're looking for ways to boost your brainpower, keep your mind engaged, and maybe even learn a new trick or two in your retirement, I highly recommend checking out the Magnetic Memory Method. It's been a fantastic addition to my daily routine, and who knows, maybe it'll unlock some hidden mental potential for you too!Workouts for Geriatrics,Good for ALL Kids from 1-92, Everything About Health & WealthGrandpa Bill Says:Remember to nurture your mind as well as your body and spirit. #MagneticMemoryMethod,#MemoryImprovement,#MnemonicTechniques,#MemoryPalace,#Peg word Method,#Anthony Metivier,#GrandpaBill,#BHSalesKelpKelpHolisticHealingHour,#RetirementLife,#BrainHealth,#MentalWellness,#Podcast,#LearningInRetirement,Sharpening the Mind in Retirement: My MMM Journey with Grandpa BillUnlocking Memory Power: A Student's Perspective on the Magnetic Memory MethodGrandpa Bill's Mental Makeover: Exploring Memory Palaces and MoreBeyond Forgetfulness: How the MMM Program is Enhancing My RetirementTwo Talks with Dr. Metivier: My Adventures in Memory ImprovementThe Peg word and Beyond: Grandpa Bill's Mnemonic MusingsHolistic Healing for the Mind: My Experience with the Magnetic Memory MethodKeeping Sharp in the Golden Years: A Look at the MMM ProgramFrom Forgetful to Fantastic?

Both hospice and geriatric care are underutilized and misunderstood despite offering critical support for quality of life, especially for older adults.  In this episode, Maria Torroella Carney, Chief of Geriatric and Palliative Medicine for Northwell Health and co-author of "The Aging Revolution," discusses the importance of reframing healthcare systems to better serve the growing aging population. She highlights the need for increased home care, caregiver support, and innovative technologies, emphasizing the role of family caregivers as an "invisible workforce." Maria addresses the rising number of "elder orphans" who lack family support and the need to identify them early and provide necessary resources. She also shares that while palliative care is gaining traction, geriatric medicine faces a decline in interest, underscoring the need for initiatives like the Age-Friendly Health System. Tune in to discover the specific policy changes that could improve hospice access and what healthcare systems should do to better address the unique needs of older adults!

“In Systema, you also learn to link your breath with your gait. Once again, you can link their practices with Psychic Alternate Nostril Breathing. One possible assemblage of these practices while wandering neighborhoods around the world involves setting up a progressive challenge that absorbs the mind in focusing on the procedures.  For the first cycle, inhale on your first step and exhale on your second. You can alternate your nostrils or breathe through both nostrils without the additional mental exercise. I do not believe it matters whether you inhale and exhale through your nostrils exclusively or also use your mouth, though I encourage you to experiment with both approaches, or decide based on pollution levels in your area. Observe the results and make changes as you see fit.  1 step = 1 inhale  1 step = 1 exhale  Repeat 5×     When you've done this five times, inhale over two steps and exhale over two steps. Then increase the number of steps you take while inhaling.  2 steps = 1 inhale  2 steps = 1 exhale  Repeat 5×  3 steps = 1 inhale  3 steps = 1 exhale  Repeat 5×  4 steps = 1 inhale  4 steps = 1 exhale  Repeat 5×  5 steps[…]”“reverse the process by moving back down the number of steps from 10 to 1.  For another variation, you can include breath holding. As with all these exercises, please consult a doctor before putting any of them into action, especially anything that involves holding your breath. To include breath holding while walking and alternating the breath between your nostrils, the process is simple:  1 step = 1 inhale  1 step = 1 step of holding oxygen in your lungs  1 step = 1 exhale  Repeat 5×  2 steps = 1 inhale  2 steps = 2 steps of holding oxygen in your lungs  2 steps = 1 exhale  Repeat 5×  3 steps = 1 inhale  3 steps = 3 steps of holding oxygen in your lungs  3 steps = 1 exhale  Repeat 5×     Add steps until you get to 10 (or as high as you can go) and scale down as desired.  As an alternative, you can forgo paying attention to the number of steps and count instead. I will sometimes inhale to a count of 4, hold for a count of 4 and then exhale for a count of 4. It's helpful to involve your hands to keep track of the count. Press thumb and pointer together for[…]”“a focus on the breath and non-intrusive mental content, such as counting or syllables that bring you back to the present moment.  Above Cited and attributed to it's writer, Dr. Anthony MetivierGB-will be talking more about this at The Workouts for Geriatrics,AKA, Silver Streakers ,Good for ALL Kids from 1-92, soon!#Fear,#Anxiety,#FamilyFear,#Psychoanalysis,#Psychotherapy,#MentalWellness,#HealingJourney,#GrandpaBill,#ByronAthene,#BHSalesKennelKelpHolisticHealingHour,#HolisticHealing,#YouTube,#@BillHolt8792,#Podcast,#TuneIn,

The topic of belonging and why it is so crucial to a healthy and high-functioning work environment within academic medicine is explored this week on the Faculty Factory Podcast with our esteemed return guest, Rakhee K. Bhayani, MD. Dr. Bhayani first joined our program in April 2022 for an episode covering career changes/pivots, identifying your purpose, and stepping outside of your comfort zone. You can revisit that discussion here: https://facultyfactory.org/rakhee-bhayani. She serves as Professor of Medicine and is the Vice Chair for Advancing Women's Careers in the Division of General Medicine and Geriatrics in the Department of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. "If we come to work and we have to specifically hide a part of who we are, that's mental energy and a tax that we're taking away from the work that we're doing,” she said. We welcome her back with open arms this week for an important and timely conversation on belonging's role in academic medicine and workplace culture. "Our goal is to help others feel comfortable and have that sense of safety, allowing them to bring their whole selves to work. This way, they can focus their energy on their work rather than expending mental energy on censoring parts of themselves to feel valued,” she added.

If you're worried about your drinking and wondering how your doctor can help, you're not alone. So many women I talk to want support—but they're unsure what to say, how it'll show up in their medical file, or whether their doctor will even take them seriously. You might worry about being judged, dismissed, or told to “just cut back” or “go to AA.” That's why I asked Megan Popp, a family nurse practitioner with almost six years of alcohol-free living and 15 years of recovery from an eating disorder, to join me on the podcast. She's the founder of Northside Forsyth Family Medicine & Geriatrics and brings not only clinical expertise—but also lived experience—to this conversation. I asked Megan to share how to talk to your doctor about your drinking, what to say (and not say), and how your primary care provider can actually support your recovery. I'm Casey McGuire Davidson, a life and sobriety coach for high-achieving women who are sober curious or ready to break out of the drinking cycle. I host The Hello Someday Podcast because I know how hard it is to juggle work, marriage, kids, anxiety, and overwhelm—and still feel like alcohol is the only thing holding you together.  In this episode, you'll get practical advice you can use right away to start advocating for your health, even if you're nervous to bring up your drinking. The goal of this episode is to help you feel empowered and prepared. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, sleep issues, physical symptoms, or just feel in your gut that alcohol might be part of the problem, here's how to talk to your doctor and get real support—not judgment.
