Hey Heal Squad! In honor of National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month, we thought to dive into all things, brain health. Our brains shape everything… focus, emotions, habits, decisions,  yet most of us spend more time caring for our skin than our mind. So, we're breaking down what it actually means to support a healthier, stronger, more resilient brain. You'll hear insights from four of the top voices in brain science: Dr. Daniel Amen on identifying your unique brain type, Jim Kwik on training your mind with simple daily habits, Dr. Drew Ramsey on the foods that fuel (or drain) your focus, and Dr. Caroline Leaf on rewiring negative thoughts and emotional patterns. From nutrition to morning rituals to neuroplasticity, this episode will help you understand how adaptable your brain really is, and how small, consistent choices can improve your mood, memory, focus, and long-term brain health. Here's your reminder to take care of your brain health today!  HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

By introducing lower-cost screening and diagnostic tools as well as new treatment and prevention modalities in primary care and community health settings, DAC is driving implementation of health system solutions that are appropriate for worldwide application. DAC also promotes the vital importance of brain health throughout the lifespan by addressing cardiometabolic and lifestyle factors, especially in early and mid-life. Absent effective action at scale around the world, by 2050, more than 150 million families and half a billion people will be personally impacted by dementia, creating a social, financial, economic, and global security disaster of historic proportions.

The organization advocates for increased research funding, policy changes, and provides resources for individuals and families affected by the disease. The organization emphasizes the importance of prevention, early detection, and access to treatment. Mr. Vradenburg was named by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to serve as a founding member of the Advisory Council on Research, Care, and Services established by the National Alzheimer's Project Act (NAPA Council) and has testified before Congress about the global Alzheimer's pandemic. Under Mr. Vradenburg's leadership, UsAgainstAlzheimer's co-convenes both the Leaders Engaged on Alzheimer's Disease ( LEAD - https://www.leadcoalition.org/ ) Coalition and the Global CEO Initiative on Alzheimer's Disease. Mr. Vradenburg is also a founding member of the World Dementia Council ( https://www.worlddementiacouncil.org/ ). Mr. Vradenburg has long been a dedicated member of Washington's civic and philanthropic community, serving as Chairman of the Phillips Collection for 13 years.Mr. Vradenburg is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Economic Club of Washington.

„Hlavně žádné biflování!“ doslechne se člověk občas od odborníků na vzdělávání. Je to jen jeden z těch mnohých hlasů, které nás tu výslovně, tu nevýslovně zrazují od toho, abychom trénovali svou paměť. Je to logické, proč se zatěžovat pamatováním údajů, když máme vše v chytrém telefonu. Akorát filozofové tradičně upozorňovali na to, že paměť je jen druhá strana myšlení.Dnes na tyto filozofické základy navazují mnozí neurologové, třeba německo-rumunská neuroložka Hannah Monyerová. Ta mimo jiné ukazuje, jak nevzdělaní jsme, co se týče fungování paměti a jak moc si tím škodíme. Dosud nás prý mate představa paměti jako nějaké nádrže se vzpomínkami. Paměť je však spíše aktivita, která se udržuje při životě výhradně jejím používáním; v tom používání my však zaostáváme. Také si prý nejsme dostatečně vědomi toho, jak úžasnou práci náš mozek odvádí ve spánku. Ani tehdy jen „neukládá“ obrázky ze dne. Náš mozek nám spíše nabízí varianty předešlého dne, abychom se příliš neuzavírali do minulosti a již v noci prožívali to, že jiná minulost byla možná, a že budoucnost je v našich rukách.Ale paměť není jen v naší hlavě; není to žádný soukromý sejf. V nedávné době na to poukázal bulharský spisovatel Georgi Gospodinov. V rozhovoru pro Týdeník Echo poznamenává: „Máme sklon podceňovat, kolik vzpomínek si vypůjčujeme. Myslíme si, že to, co si pamatujeme, jsme zažili my, a přitom to zažil někdo jiný. Mnohdy také máme za to, že jsme něco vymysleli, třeba nějaký příběh, a ve skutečnosti je to zas něčí vzpomínka. Naše individuální paměť i představivost žije z kolektivních vzpomínek, které si vyprávíme.“ Ve velkolepé knize Časokryt ukazuje, jak vypravování či předčítání příběhů umí aktivovat paměť i pacientů trpících demencí. Ti se skrze mentální aktivitu probuzenou ve vzpomínání občas dokáží navrátit i do přítomnosti. Proces vzpomínání jim navrací něco z jejich někdejší duchapřítomnosti.Georgi Gospodinov ukazuje, že ústup paměti ze společnosti není patrný jen na úrovni jednotlivců, ale i na úrovni kolektivní. Rozpadají se třeba společné kánony toho, co máme mít přečteno nebo o čem máme mít ponětí. Gospodinov, sám nevěřící milovník bible, říká, že kdysi jako takový svorník fungovala bible. Lidem nevzdělaným i vzdělaným, chudým i bohatým skýtala jeden – ale velmi bohatý – rámec, podle kterého se žilo i myslelo. To skončilo. Autor Časokrytu to popisuje lakonicky: „Bůh není mrtev. Bůh zapomněl. Bůh je dementní.“ Je-li Bůh odkazem na smysluplnost světa, a náš svět se roztříštil do nesouvisejících fragmentů, možná na celou společnost přišlo cosi jako metafyzická demence. Bůh kdysi slovy stvořil svět – a my tomu věřili; nyní jsme tomu věřit přestali – a on zapomněl.KapitolyI. Trpí Alzheimerem i celé společnosti? [úvod až 12:20]II. O tom, že metafyzicky „dementní“ se již rodíme [12:20 až 31:40]III. Neuroložka Hannah Monyerová: „Paměti nejde o pravdu, ale o život.“ [31:40 až 47:00]IV. „Kdo ovládá paměť, ovládá budoucnost.“ [47:00 až konec]BibliografieGeorgi Gospodinov, Časokryt, přel.

At the start of the day, Lisa Baron and her board of trustees gathered for the fifth strategic planning cycle in the 20-year history of Memory Care Home Solutions, the nonprofit Baron founded to serve families with Alzheimer's patients. How would they expand? How would they diversify their revenue sources? How would they create sustainable long-term earnings?But after dinner, at the end of the day, the planning facilitator put a question to Baron and her board, a question she wasn't expecting at all. “You can grow incrementally,” the facilitator said, “or you can change the world. What do you want to do?”The question sent a bolt of lightning through Baron and her board. It changed the focus of their strategic planning entirely. The game was no longer just about contract reimbursements, revenue streams and federal grants. It wasn't only about seeking inclusion in employer assistance programs or third-party healthcare contracts.It was about advocacy for families. It was about forming coalitions to influence policy around memory care issues. “It was huge,” Baron said. “It opened us up to the power of more people helping us achieve more than we could by ourselves.”Within weeks, work had begun to expand the agency's vision into the advocacy space, using the experience of hospice workers—who moved the palliative care practice from the fringes of healthcare into the mainstream—as an example.What steps in its history brought Baron and Memory Care Home Solutions to this moment? How are they building the groundwork to “change the world”? And what can business leaders learn from Baron's experience?UPDATE SINCE THIS EPISODELisa Baron announced her retirement from MCHS in December 2022 and officially stepped down May 31, 2023. According to Jill Cigliana, the organization's new executive director, “Lisa continues to inspire and guide MCHS in her new role as founder and director emeritus. She remains involved in advocacy and policy work on behalf of people living with dementia and family care partners.”Since the approval of the fifth strategic plan, Cigliana said the organization has focused on building out its dementia navigation service line based on the Care Ecosystem model of care developed at the University of California-San Francisco. “This work connects us with a national team of researchers and collaborators to advance best practices in dementia care and is aligned with our strategic goals. Additionally, we have been meeting with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services to inform a payment model for dementia care services.”On July 31, MCHS was invited to Washington, DC, to attend the advisory council meeting of the National Alzheimer's Project Act. At that meeting, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced a test program to roll out a dementia care model which will be covered through Medicare benefits. “This means that for the first time in this country, there will be a covered benefit for Medicare beneficiaries who are living with dementia, including education, training and paid respite for their family caregivers. MCHS will continue to be involved in the testing for this model of care.”Said Lisa Baron, “It's thrilling that we are being included in the national conversation. This is exactly what we were aiming for.”RELATED LINKSMemory Care Home Solutions websiteFrom Small Business Monthly: “Time With The Boss - Lisa Baron, Memory Care Home Solutions”Nick Argyres' page on the WashU Olin websiteLisa Baron testified in 2016 about Alzheimer's services to the Special Senate Committee on AgingCREDITSThis podcast is a production of Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Jay Allen Zoom video!Country singer Jay Allen has released his latest single, "No Prayer Like Mama's," through ONErpm. The new single is a touching tribute to the strength and devotion of a mother's love and is available now on streaming services worldwide.Inspired by Jay Allen's own journey, "No Prayer Like Mama's" is a tribute to the love and sacrifice of mothers. The song was born out of Allen's own experience of losing his mother to Alzheimer's disease and serves to honor the memory of all mothers who have dedicated their lives to their children, even in the face of adversity. The lyrics pay homage to the endless prayers that mothers offer for their children, from their earliest moments to when they've reached adulthood, capturing the beauty and power of that love that can transcend time and distance.Allen spoke about the song, saying “'No Prayer Like Mama's' was written after grieving the loss of my own mother. That process was a difficult journey, but now I find strength in believing that she's still with me. I hope this song brings honor to both mothers in heaven and those still with us.”Growing up near Cedar Falls, Iowa, Allen was influenced by the music he heard from both his father at rock concerts and his mother, who would sing country tunes on long car rides. Allen attributes his love for country music to his mother, and it's what ultimately led him to move to Nashville in 2013. He signed a publishing deal in 2014 and an artist deal with SONY/ATV in 2016. With the release of "Sounds Good to Me" in 2017, Allen was selected as Sirius XM's "The Highway Find."It was his 2018 hit "Blank Stares," a powerful tribute to his mother who suffered from early-onset Alzheimer's, that first caught the attention of national audiences. The song went viral, reaching over 500 million views on Facebook, and showcased Allen's raw talent and dedication to raising awareness for the Alzheimer's Association. As a result of his advocacy efforts, Allen has been involved with several international events, including the Rita Hayworth Gala, which have raised over $100 million for the Alzheimer' Association and has received numerous accolades, including The Caregiver Award from the National Alzheimer's Association.Allen has also been recognized for his music. He was named Favorite Competition Contestant at the 2022 Country Now Awards and featured in Music Mayhem Magazine's 2023 Artists to Watch.With the release of his debut EP Bulletproof, which includes the single "Mustang on Mud Tires" featuring UMG country artist, co-writer, and now-wife Kylie Morgan (along with Nate Kenyon and Blake Bollinger) Allen continues to captivate audiences with his emotional and heartfelt music.We want to hear from you!

The Department of Health and Human Services helps to guide billions of dollars in investment and direction in research, policy, and health care. The Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE), within the HHS, is the principal advisor to the Secretary of HHS on health policy, ranging from legislation to strategic planning to research. How does this relate to aging policy and research? How does coordination occur between the federal, state and local level in aging health policies? And, who within ASPE guides aging policy and connects policy to every day health challenges experienced by patients and clinicians?    On today today's podcast, we are joined by guest host and UCSF geriatrician Ashwin Kotwal as we welcome Dr. Tisamarie Sherry (Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Office of Behavioral Health, Disability, and Aging Policy (BHDAP), appointed by the Biden administration). This office is tasked with providing aging policy research and recommendations within ASPE, including long term care and the National Alzheimer's Project Act.  Dr. Sherry shares her expertise in aging health policy and helps us make sense of the role of her Office and how she coordinates with the multitude of federal agencies aligned around the goal of advancing aging research, policy, and health. For the policy buffs and policy newbies out there, we hope this podcast is an essential primer to government in action.    We talk about:  The structure of federal agencies and how they coordinate  Priorities of the National Alzheimer's Project Act, and the unique role of ASPE and BHDAP in guiding the agenda and long-term goals The recent focus on nursing facilities and long term supportive services during the pandemic, along with key gaps How HHS and ASPE solicit input from clinicians, community leaders, and older adults and how much it impacts policy decisions (spoiler alert: this involvement is CRUCIAL)  How to make your voice heard and get involved    We also touch briefly on topics discussed in prior podcasts such as loneliness and federal responses to the pandemic in relation to long-term care. Tune to hear Alex's rendition of 'With a Little Help from My Friends'!   - Ashwin Kotwal, MD, MS

Dementia Matters Special Series: The National Strategy for Alzheimer's Disease Data and Research Part 4 Brain imaging is a key tool in Alzheimer's disease research and diagnoses, allowing scientists to see changes in the brain years, even decades, before an individual experiences symptoms of dementia. The data these images provide researchers with is incredibly useful, leading the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center to take up numerous efforts to standardize, unify and share this type of data across the Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers. Dr. Beth Mormino joins the podcast to discuss the NIA's SCAN initiative, the new “legacy” data set, and the importance of standardizing MRI and PET scan procedures to predict brain trajectories better.

But for Jillian Lee of National Alzheimer's Buddies (NAB), a nonprofit pairing students with Alzheimer's patients, college is a time to build bridges towards a society with equitable dementia care.
