Caring for a loved one with dementia can be overwhelming, emotional and often confusing.  In this episode, Jenny D interviews Gina Iuliucci about Alzheimer's and other dementias—what they are, how they differ from normal aging, common early signs, risk factors, testing and emerging treatments, and why early diagnosis matters. Gina felt called with her experience to make a greater impact by creating a company dedicated to meeting caregivers where they are — offering clarity, support, and practical strategies during one of the most difficult journeys a family can face. At Dementia Care Solutions, her mission is simple: to empower caregivers with knowledge, reduce the sense of isolation, and provide hope and confidence in caring for someone living with dementia. The episode focuses on practical support for caregivers: communication strategies, resources, support groups, music therapy benefits, and Gina's Dementia Care Solutions consulting and training services to help families navigate diagnosis and daily care. https://dementia-care-solutions.com/ June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month and I would like to thank my Spotlight Supporters.

In this Menopause Mondays follow-up, I am joined by Menopause Specialist/Nurse Practitioner Kelley DeFilippis as we sat down to review my own experience with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). I have been on HRT since May — the estradiol patch, micronized progesterone, and estrogen cream.  We discuss the ups and downs and the adjustments that reduced brain fog, night sweats and mood swings. Kelley and I open up about our early on symptoms before HRT and the side effects it may have caused us during those sleepless nights.   We touched on practical care tips, the potential role of low-dose testosterone, strength training, Cornerstone Wellness services, and why seeing a trained menopause provider and advocating for your health matters.

Light, truth, and direct experience. Today we will talk about angel healing with local poet, author, and mystic Jenny D’Angelo. Amidst a shower of poetry, Jenny shares about her history with Dorrie D’Angelo, the Angel Lady of Carmel and about how she hopes to model vibrant elderhood for those around her. She talks about how to tune into the angels around each of us which she describes as our teams of unseen helpers. After the break, we take a call from Ray of Santa Cruz who describes his mom’s experience seeing angels. We end by talking about little yeses and big yeses where a big yes to one thing can look like a no to something else. BIO: Jenny D'Angelo, healer, poet, Angel scribe. She was adopted by Dorie D'Angelo, the Angel Lady of Carmel, in 1983. Jenny is a published poet and international speaker. She receives the words from the Angels in humility, knowing them as blessings to be shared. Jenny lives on the California central coast. Her video interview with Andrew Harvey can be found here.
