This compares to a 5.4% average increase for resident doctors, formally known as junior doctors, and 4% for consultants and other senior doctors. The Scottish government has already agreed a two-year 8% pay offer with health unions. Around 345,000 members of the Royal College of Nursing union will be asked if the pay award is enough in what has been described as the biggest single vote of the profession ever launched in the UK. Nuala speaks to Steve Ford, editor of the Nursing Times.Turkey has imposed a restriction on elective caesarean sections at small private medical clinics, without a medical justification, under new health ministry regulations. President Erdogan has declared 2025 to be the ‘Year of the family' and has been campaigning for women to have vagina births, or 'natural births' as he's calling them, in a bid to encourage women to have more babies. Turkey has one of the highest rates of caesarean section births according to health ministry figures from 2023, where out of all births 61.5% were by c-section. This compares to the UK's 42%, according to the latest NHS data. Nuala talks to Guardian journalist Ruth Michaelson and Dr Irmak Sarac, a gynaecologist and feminist activist in Turkey, to discuss why these restrictions have been brought in and what's happening to women's reproductive health in Turkey.Daughters of the Bamboo Grove: China's Stolen Children and a Story of Separated Twins is the real life story of twin girls born in China who were separated as toddlers in 2002. One girl was adopted in good faith by an American couple who believed that the baby's Chinese birth-parents had given her up. The other remained in China to be raised by her birth parents. The story shone a light on China's one child policy which ran from 1979 to 2015 and China's involvement in international adoption, a practice that was ended last year. Nuala speaks to the American journalist Barbara Demick, who unravelled the truth of what happened to the twins, eventually broke the story to the world and who has put their story into this book.

A new book by the acclaimed neuroscientist Lisa Genova is always a big event. Genova, best known for her best-selling 2007 novel, Still Alice, has a new novel out this week, More or Less Maddy, which follows a 20-year-old aspiring stand-up comedian who is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The protagonist, Maddy, grows up in affluent suburban Connecticut with a father who disappeared when she was young, leaving mysterious boats stranded on their front lawn – a hint at his own undiagnosed bipolar disorder. In our conversation, Genova emphasizes the importance of accurate representation in her fiction, having conducted extensive research with psychiatrists, psychologists, and people living with bipolar disorder. She explains that bipolar disorder affects about 2% of the general population and has a genetic component, with children of bipolar parents having a 10% chance of inheriting the condition. Our conversation explores how bipolar disorder manifests through episodes of mania and depression, with Genova noting that the average time to correct diagnosis is 7-10 years. She discusses the challenges of treatment, including medication side effects and the stigma associated with mental illness. Genova advocates for using the term "neurological disorder" rather than "mental illness" to reduce stigma. She explains that the new novel uses stand-up comedy as a backdrop, not just for its inherent ups and downs that mirror bipolar episodes, but also to explore themes of normalcy and identity. Genova stresses that while bipolar disorder is a serious condition, with proper treatment and support, individuals like the fictional standup comic Maddy can live functional and fulfilling lives.Acclaimed as the Oliver Sacks of fiction and the Michael Crichton of brain science, Lisa Genova has captured a special place in contemporary fiction, writing stories that are equally inspired by neurological conditions and our shared human condition. She is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels STILL ALICE, LEFT NEGLECTED, LOVE ANTHONY, andINSIDE THE O'BRIENS. Her first TED talk, "What You Can Do To Prevent Alzheimer's" has been viewed over eight million times. Her most recent TED talk, "How Memory Works--and Why Forgetting is Totally OK" was the sixth most watched TED talk of 2021. A sought-after speaker/edutainer, she has headlined in speaker series alongside Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Gloria Steinem, Jay Leno, Malala Yousafzai, Bryan Stevenson, and Goldie Hawn.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

In this episode of the Focused Healthy Family Podcast, Gina and Don explore the portrayal of dementia in movies and TV shows. They discuss how some productions romanticize the condition, giving it a polished Hollywood treatment, while others offer raw and realistic depictions that foster understanding and empathy. From the heartwarming yet idealized moments in The Notebook to the unflinchingly honest portrayals in Still Alice and The Father, Gina and Don analyze what these narratives get right and where they fall short. #DementiaAwareness #CaregiverSupport #DementiaInMedia #MentalHealthMatters #StillAlice #TheFather #TheNotebook #FamilyCaregivers #HollywoodAndDementia #FocusedHealthyFamily #AlzheimersAwareness 

The logical, rational side of neuroscientist Lisa Genova's brain said not to write a book, but her heart said otherwise. Roughly two decades ago, Lisa listened to the latter, penning her first novel, Still Alice, a highly personal piece inspired by her grandmother's struggles with Alzheimer's. Following her true north has led Genova to writing four more books with another (More or Less Maddy) on the way in 2025. The New York Times best-selling author sits down with host Julie Wake to discuss taking that career risk, selling her first book out of the trunk of a car, and living a life with purpose.  Website: https://www.lisagenova.com/ Today's sponsors:  William Raveis Real Estate, The official real estate company of the AFCC, South Shore Playhouse Associates - Also known as the Melody Tent, TD Bank, John K. & Thirza F.

Today we are introducing you to Jim Rogers, who, in amongst a wild and vibrant life, has been diagnosed with younger-onset dementia. So generous, and such an amazing storyteller, Jim tells us the three acts of his life, so far. The grief of losing his first love, the surprise of his second, and the shock of a dementia diagnosis at 55, this conversation left Hugh, Ryan, and Josh with an invigorated sense for the preciousness of life, love, and family. In Jim's words, dementia strips you of the most important things: your memory and recognition of your loved ones, as well as your ability to make choices for your own wellbeing. Dementia affects the lives of more than 421,000 individual Australians, and countless family members, loved ones and carers. There is no known cure for dementia, however there are treatments for many of the symptoms. This episode is heart-breaking and heart-warming in the same breath, and we know you're about to fall in love with Jim, just like we did. Special thanks to Hamish Macdonald, and the Dementia Australia team, who introduced us to Jim. To watch this full episode on YouTube, follow this link: https://youtu.be/MUk5ED2Ppug 

I'm Not Dead talks to Julianne Moore and these are her credits:   Career Objectives: From Boogie Nights, Magnolia, The Big Lebowski, Still Alice and the Kids are all alright and many more, Julianne Moore has played the women we desperately want to be, the women we are afraid to embrace or the women that have never felt seen.     Awards: In case you have been living under a rock, she is an Oscar winner, Time magazines one of the most influential people in the world and The New York Times named her one of the greatest actors of the 21st century.

Still Alice the book, sold 1M copies worldwide – a national bestseller. Still Alice the movie, sold $45M worth of tickets at the box office – and won an Academy Award. But back when neuroscientist Lisa Genova first penned the novel, it was rejected by 100 book agents. She was told no one would read a book about Alzheimer's Disease, that the subject matter was too depressing and that neuroscientists shouldn't write fiction. Hope you'll join us. Hosted on Acast.

The art of losing isn't hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster Copyright to Two Takes

Self-testing is one good way to better remember information. Think of memory as a two-way street. If we only put information in, it is like traveling in only one direction. Recalling information requires us to go the other way. Spacing out studying is better than cramming.If you need seven hours to prepare for an exam that is one week from today, study one hour per day rather than all seven hours the night before. Context matters for memory recall. If you study while eating Sour Patch candy, do the same thing while taking the test.

Your memory is lying to you. Here's how, with Lisa Genova    • 4 ways to hack your memory | Lisa Gen...   Our memories are not reality. A memory is the pattern of neural activity that represents the sights, sounds, smells, feelings, information, and language that you experienced when you learned something. When this neural circuit is reactivated, you experience a memory. Recalling memories is not a passive process. Every time we recall a memory, it changes, and we store this “2.0 version” over the older version in our brain. With each retelling, the memory drifts further and further away from the original memory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Lisa Genova: Lisa Genova is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels Still Alice, Left Neglected, Love Anthony, Inside the O'Briens, and Every Note Played.

Is technology melting your memory? Or helping it?, with Lisa Genova Technology is a double-edged sword. There is a common belief that smartphones are hurting our memory, but this isn't entirely true. Certainly, if you want to form memories effectively, you need to be aware of your surroundings in the present moment, not distracted by your phone. Yet there is a lot of upside to technology as well. In an instant, you have all the world's knowledge at your fingertips. And social media reminds us of past events that we otherwise might not remember. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Lisa Genova: Lisa Genova is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels Still Alice, Left Neglected, Love Anthony, Inside the O'Briens, and Every Note Played.

Author Michael James and his wife Judy's life together took an unexpected turn when she was denied long term care insurance because she couldn't pass the ‘mini mental', the test given that revealed cognition issues.  Ultimately, she was diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment that developed into Alzheimer's. Michael, faced with this challenge, knew he needed to be thoughtful, calculated, and proactive while continuing to provide Judy with the daily care she needed. As an academic and researcher, he joined several online support groups and searched for books to help him navigate this new territory. Therapy: He observed in the support groups that many caregivers' downfall is mixing their emotions with responsibilities. Realizing he needed more than anecdotal help from friends, he found a therapist who helped him separate the reality of the present moment and need to seek answers to the practical day to day challenges, while also preparing for the future. Daily Care & Move to Senior Living: Michael talks about his strategy to integrate additional support and resources into their lives. They began with in home care (which she initially rejected) by starting with a couple of hours a week and by the time they reached 30 hours per week it was time for something different. The next phase was a day program that Judy enjoyed. When that grew to 7 days a week and a few other key factors at play, he knew it was time for her to move into the memory care community. Ultimately, multiple factors influenced this decision. Judy had become fearful of being alone and hallucinations had begun. Michael was struggling to get a full night's sleep and her incontinence issues were increasing. These were layered with safety concerns because of several incidents that had occurred, and he knew it was time for the move to memory care. Plan Ahead: Michael emphasizes the importance of getting out of denial and talking about getting older. He recommends to adult children not to brush their parents off when they want to talk about planning for the future and for when they die. We all need to be more comfortable talking about aging and death. He recommends not waiting until you are in crisis! Planning ahead will help you be successful because many memory care communities have waiting lists. Michael ended up writing the book he was looking for and titled it Dear Judy: A Love Story Rewritten by Alzheimer's⁠.  Visit his website: https://pineedenpress.com Here are the others he recommended in this episode.

Only 2% of Alzheimer's is 100% genetic. The rest is up to your daily habits. Up Next ►This productivity hack comes with an asterisk | Tiago Forte People want a perfect memory. They wish that they can remember everything that they want to remember. But it doesn't work like that. Most people over the age of 50 think that forgetting someone's name or forgetting why they went into the kitchen is a sign of Alzheimer's. It isn't. Most of our forgetfulness is perfectly normal. If you are worried about developing Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, some simple lifestyle modifications can help prevent it: getting enough sleep, exercising, eating a balanced diet, and managing stress. chapters:- 00:00 The truth about memory & forgetting 01:12 Alzheimer's cause & symptoms 04:21 You need sleep 05:13 Eat a healthy diet 05:45 Exercise, even a little bit 06:15 Reduce stress levels 07:15 Always learn new things 08:39 The good news... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Lisa Genova: Lisa Genova is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels Still Alice, Left Neglected, Love Anthony, Inside the O'Briens, and Every Note Played.

Stress shrinks your brain. Neuroscientist Lisa Genova explains how to strengthen it. Up next, How to double your brain power | Tiago Forte It may not feel like it when you can't find your phone or "lose" your sunglasses sitting atop your head, but your memory is an amazing ability -- and one we want to protect. So it's little wonder that any blips or blank spaces can send us spiraling into concern. Some recall issues here and there are normal, says neuroscientist and author Lisa Genova, and not every lapse means looming problems. (And don't worry, forgetting names is a surprisingly tough thing for our brains to do!) But, Genova says, there's ways we can improve our memory, increase resilience and recall and be more comfortable with ourselves and our minds.

How does Alzheimer's alter the brain, and how do we create a future without the disease? Alzheimer's, the most common form of dementia, threatens to single-handedly collapse our healthcare systems. But our knowledge of how to prevent it is stronger than ever. In this episode of ‘YOUR BRAIN ON', we discuss: • The power of stories and the importance of community for finding comfort and confidence following an Alzheimer's diagnosis • What we know about preventing cognitive decline through brain-healthy living • The neurochemistry of how Alzheimer's physically changes the brain • Genetic predisposition to neurodegenerative diseases, and why women have a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's • Why we should approach brain health in the same way we approach heart health We're joined by Dr. Lisa Genova, neuroscientist and writer of ‘Still Alice', a book which allows the reader to step into the shoes of a woman experiencing the onset of Alzheimer's. ‘Still Alice' was adapted into a feature film, for which Julianne Moore won an Academy Award for Best Actress in 2015. Lisa talks to us about how stories can help us find a sense of hope and empathy in the face of ‘scary' diagnoses. Dr. Charles DeCarli, Director of the the University of California Davis Alzheimer's Disease Center, explains a broad range of Alzheimer's risk factors — from amyloid and tau proteins to cardiovascular diseases — and offers advice on thinking about brain health as part of the body's wider functionality, not a standalone system. And Dr. Lisa Mosconi, neuroscientist, educator, and author of ‘The Menopause Brain', highlights how the hormonal shifts caused by menopause contribute to a higher prevalence of Alzheimer's in women, and unpacks the controversial history and potential future of hormone replacement therapy. ‘Your Brain On' is hosted by neuroscientists and public health advocates Ayesha and Dean Sherzai. ‘Your Brain On...

“We have a human brain whose memory system is amazing and wildly imperfect.” – Lisa Genova New York Times bestselling author Lisa Genova joins us for a conversation about her book, Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting. What does normal forgetting look like? How do we improve our memory? How do we create a memory? What's the distinction between normal forgetting and forgetting because of Alzheimer's? What are some preventative measures we can easily incorporate to protect our memory? Lisa is a wealth of information and I am honored she is here to share the information from her recent book! So much to learn today and to feel empowered. About the author: Lisa has her PhD in Neuroscience from Harvard, is an acclaimed author, and has a TED Talk with over five million views. She also has appearances on the Today Show, CNN, and NPR, Dr. Oz and many more outlets. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: It is okay to google the name of an actor whose name you can't remember.  Young people who have used tech since birth just google without worrying about it, but most older adults believe we have to figure it out ourselves. Tip of the tongue – words like proper nouns, movie titles, names of cities – and why we have trouble recalling those names. Why “Memory isn't stored in any one place.” Why in order to create a lasting memory it has to go through the hippocampus. You can't remember what you don't pay attention to.  This is the first thing to do to create memory. Outsourcing some things like taking a picture of where you parked isn't going to make you dumber.  It is okay to use tech to help you remember. Our human brains are terrible at prospective planning. Context plays a big role in remembering things.  The second you are surrounded by cues you remember.  It helps to retrace your steps to trigger the cues. To do lists, pill boxes, checkboxes are all helpful for prospective memory. “The act of learning is remembering.  Memory is outstanding.  We can learn infinite amounts of things.” It's not true that we only use 10 percent of our brain. Our brain is changing all of the time.  Every time you are learning something new your brain creates more neural pathways. We have the ability to create new neurons/nerve cells. Chronic stress will shrink the hippocampus. Meditation, yoga, mindfulness, exercise, staying socially active and learning new things helps to enlarge our hippocampus. Being sedentary makes you more likely to develop Alzheimer's. Being active decreases your risk by half. Processing speeds slow down as we age a little bit, but we know more. Sleep is key.  The data is compelling – we need 7-9 hours of sleep to process what we've learned and to clear metabolic debris while we sleep. Alzheimer's happens in the hippocampus – war in this area – first symptoms are not remembering what someone just said or repeating themselves — the present memory keeps cycling through.  Prevention is key.  Lisa shares what she does for preventative measures.  Eat a Mediterranean diet. Exercise.  Go for walks — move around every day. Your entire body wants and needs that. “This book is about your relationship with memory. We are afraid of it. We are judgmental  of it.  We don't understand it.  It's also imperfect.  Be in awe of it and take good care of it.” RESOURCES MENTIONED “Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting” by Lisa Genova Lisa Genova on Episode 1 of The Good Life Coach – about Lisa's Transition from Neuroscientist to New York Times best-selling author Lisa Genova on Episode 104 of The Good Life Coach – what it means to live a life of meaning “Still Alice” by Lisa Genova “Every Note Played” by LisaGenova Lisa Genova's website Lisa Genova on Instagram Lisa Genova on Facebook Lisa's Ted Talk on Preventing Alzheimer's Michele on Instagram Thank you for listening to the show!

How do we improve our memory? How do we create a memory? What's the distinction between normal forgetting and forgetting because of Alzheimer's? What are some preventative measures we can easily incorporate to protect our memory? Lisa is a wealth of information and I am honored she is here to share the information from her recent book! So much to learn today and to feel empowered. About the author: Lisa has her PhD in Neuroscience from Harvard, is an acclaimed author, and has a TED Talk with over five million views. She also has appearances on the Today Show, CNN, and NPR, Dr. Oz and many more outlets. All of the show notes can be found at thegoodlifecoach.com/127. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: It is okay to google the name of an actor whose name you can't remember.  Young people who have used tech since birth just google without worrying about it, but most older adults believe we have to figure it out ourselves. Tip of the tongue – words like proper nouns, movie titles, names of cities – and why we have trouble recalling those names. Why “Memory isn't stored in any one place.” Why in order to create a lasting memory it has to go through the hippocampus. You can't remember what you don't pay attention to.  This is the first thing to do to create memory. Outsourcing some things like taking a picture of where you parked isn't going to make you dumber.  It is okay to use tech to help you remember. Our human brains are terrible at prospective planning. Context plays a big role in remembering things.  The second you are surrounded by cues you remember.  It helps to retrace your steps to trigger the cues. To do lists, pill boxes, checkboxes are all helpful for prospective memory. “The act of learning is remembering.  Memory is outstanding.  We can learn infinite amounts of things.” It's not true that we only use 10 percent of our brain. Our brain is changing all of the time.  Every time you are learning something new your brain creates more neural pathways. We have the ability to create new neurons/nerve cells. Chronic stress will shrink the hippocampus. Meditation, yoga, mindfulness, exercise, staying socially active and learning new things helps to enlarge our hippocampus. Being sedentary makes you more likely to develop Alzheimer's. Being active decreases your risk by half. Processing speeds slow down as we age a little bit, but we know more. Sleep is key.  The data is compelling – we need 7-9 hours of sleep to process what we've learned and to clear metabolic debris while we sleep. Alzheimer's happens in the hippocampus – war in this area – first symptoms are not remembering what someone just said or repeating themselves — the present memory keeps cycling through.  Prevention is key.  Lisa shares what she does for preventative measures.  Eat a Mediterranean diet. Exercise.  Go for walks — move around every day. Your entire body wants and needs that. “This book is about your relationship with memory. We are afraid of it. We are judgmental  of it.  We don't understand it.  It's also imperfect.  Be in awe of it and take good care of it.” RESOURCES MENTIONED “Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting” by Lisa Genova Lisa Genova on Episode 1 of The Good Life Coach – about Lisa's Transition from Neuroscientist to New York Times best-selling author Lisa Genova on Episode 104 of The Good Life Coach – what it means to live a life of meaning “Still Alice” by Lisa Genova “Every Note Played” by LisaGenova Lisa Genova's website Lisa Genova on Instagram Lisa Genova on Facebook Lisa's Ted Talk on Preventing Alzheimer's Michele on Instagram Thank you for listening to the show!

It's a strange feeling to return back to a place that feels all too familiar. At first, the flood of memories begins to wash over, with every ounce of nostalgia coming back to us. Yet, our life experiences since those former moments have molded us in ways we couldn't expect. In today's episode, I reviewed the latest Paramore LP, This is Why. Is this album their strongest record to date? Which track stands out above the rest? Listen and find out!

Lisa Genova, the New York Times Bestselling Author of Still Alice, is today's guest.  When I learned of Lisa's work and life mission I knew I had to have her on the show.  She epitomizes what is possible when you listen to your internal voice and have the courage to pursue what's in your heart.  Lisa will tell you that she is doing her “soul's work” and living a life of purpose by bringing empathy and understanding to neurological disorders people don't like to think about.  Her book “Still Alice” became a New York Times best-seller and was turned into a major motion picture.  However, before finding her purpose, Lisa was on a very different path.  A Harvard trained Ph.D. in neuroscience, Lisa found herself at a crossroads when her first marriage ended in divorce.  It was in this moment of uncertainty that she found the courage to leave the familiar for a life as a writer.  If you are a writer or want to be one, would like to find your purpose, and/or enjoy stories of how dreams become reality, then you will love today's episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Why Lisa left her life as a Harvard trained PhD in Neuroscience to become a fiction writer, with no prior writing experience Why her grandmother having alzheimer's triggered her desire to write How & why she became an “empathy warrior” for people with neurological disorders How acting classes helped her become a better writer We dig into her creative process – how she crafts her books Why all of her books cover a neurological disorder and how they connect to life themes How she kept up her motivation when her future was uncertain.  Her book was originally rejected by 100 agents yet she was determined to get her book out in the world and it paid off. How her self-published book eventually secured her an agent and ended up on the New York Times Best-sellers list for 59 weeks! How she trusted that fiction was the way to tell her stories to create empathy with the reader. Why she loves the concept of duality and how our decisions create the reality we are living today vs the path not taken. How her book “Still Alice” became a major motion picture starring Julianne Moore and Alec Baldwin.   We go into how it felt to be at the Oscar's and seeing her work on the big screen. Why her latest book, “Every Note Played” deals with ALS. Lisa shares the questions we need to ask ourselves to discover our own life purpose Why you should never make decisions out of fear The books she used to learn the craft of writing 3 key tips for all women out there who want to pursue their dreams….and so much more… Show Notes & Resources: Free Giveaway when you Join our Newsletter & Community Michele's New Book, Design A Life You Love: A Woman's Guide to Living a Happier and More Fulfilled Life Find Michele on Instagram for More Inspiration Lisa Genova's Bestselling Books: Still Alice  Inside the O'Briens: A Novel Left Neglected Love Anthony Every Note Played Other books referenced: On Pluto by Greg O'Brien  Writing Down The Bones by Natalie Goldberg Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott On Writing by Stephen King The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron Ted Talks: What You Can Do To Prevent Alzheimer's Inbound Talk: “If You Could Do Anything You Wanted” Thank you for listening to the show.

An indomitable enemy, it holds you captive in your body as it eats away at your mind. Until it stops your mind and your heart, it is relentless. It abducts those you love the most, leaving you alone until even the person in the mirror becomes a stranger. That enemy is Alzheimer's Disease, and one brilliant woman is blind-sighted when having to face it too soon at an age too young.   The woman's name is Alice. The book is Still Alice by Lisa Genova.
