Many of us are lucky to grow older, and in Europe there is an aging demographic. With this come the diseases of aging such as dementia and a burden on family and society for care. For a long time people have thought this inevitable but we will learn today that, as with so many diseases, lifestyle changes from a young age can counteract this, to reduce the risk of getting dementia and also stabilising mental decline. In 2021, 20.8% of the EU population was aged 65 years or older. In 2019, an Alzheimer Europe report on the prevalence of dementia estimated that there were about 9 million people living with the disease in Europe. This number is projected to double by 2050, rising towards 19 million in the European region. Globally, there are around 55 million people worldwide who are living with dementia. However, research is now showing that up to 45% of dementias could be prevented: by addressing a range of modifiable risk factors, at different stages of our lives. My guests today are: Dr. Ange Bradshaw: Director for Research at Alzheimer's Europe Dr. Joëlle Fritz: Research and Strategy Specialist, Luxembourg Institute of Health Dr. Francesca Mangialasche: Geriatrician, Division of Clinical Geriatrics: Alzheimer Research Center Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, Karolinska Institutet and Executive Director of the World-Wide FINGERS Global Scientific Coordinating Center at the FINGERS Brain Health Institute Hassan Fadli: Founder, 5 Ironmans Beat Alzheimer's Association The 2024 World Alzheimer's report noted that 80% of people think dementia is a normal part of ageing, and 65% of healthcare professionals. Only 2% of the population are affected by rare genetic factors but for most of us this is not the case. ‘Modifiable risk factors' can be replaced to deter and stall dementia. Francesca Mangialasce is based at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, and also works as executive director of the ‘FINGERS' Brain Health Institute, founded by Professor Mija Kivipelto, a world renowned researcher in the field of Alzheimer's disease and Dementia. FBHI is dedicated to promoting healthy brain aging and preventing cognitive impairment and dementia through innovative multi-domain clinical research and the fast translation of these results into personalised clinical practice. Brain is our main capital, and there is so much we can do to promote brain health. Studies have show that cardiovascular and metabolic disorders such as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, high blood sugar or diabetes are risk factors for dementia. There are many other emerging factors such as hearing impairment, vision loss, impaired oral health.  Being mentally, physically and socially active during life is important to reduce the risk of memory problems in old age. Secondary and tertiary prevention is also really important, even at the later stages of disease with therapies including art, dance and cognitive stimulation therapy .  The FINGER study across 70 countries shows that a multi-domain approach can benefit cognition:exercise, healthy diet, cognitive training, good control of metabolic/vascular disorders, and social stimulation. Stigma Hassan Fadli's father faced stigma in the village he lived all his life. This stigma deepens the pain of the suffering, knowing you are losing ‘yourself'. It is also a burden for the caregivers at a time when family and friends need the most help to support their loved one.   Hassan promised his father to work towards breaking this stigma and founded the 5 Ironmans initiative. Hassan has also made a documentary of his advocacy work alongside the endurance sport to reach people from children in schools across Europe to the Queen of Sweden.  His aim is to bring brain health into normal conversation, break the stigma, and integrate brain health awareness into public discourse.  Luxembourg support Joëlle Fritz is working  as Research and Strategy Specialist at the Luxembourg Institute of Health where she aims to bridge research to clinical care. "Programme démence prevention" (pdp) is a programme raising awareness on modifiable risk factors for dementia prevention and promotes life style changes. PDP is an integrated prevention concept funded by Luxembourg's Ministry of Health and Social Security. PDP is currently coordinated by the Centre Hospitalier  de Luxembourg in collaboration with national institutions (Luxembourg Institute of Health and Luxembourg Centre for System's Biomedicine at the University of Luxembourg) and partner associations (listed below). It is important to start as early as possible in the prevention of dementia, and so the PDP Braincoach app was created, accessible via browser to everyone also outside Luxembourg: www.pdp-app.lu Associations related in Luxembourg: L'Association nationale des diététiciens du Luxembourg: www.andl.lu ZithaAktiv: www.zithaaktiv.lu   Club Seniors of HELP asbl: www.help.lu Club Senior “Schwaarze Wee” Dudelange:   www.schwaarzewee.lu Lëtzebuerger Verein fir Gediechtnistraining: www.lvgt.lu NEUROvitalis home and digital Info-Zenter Demenz:   www.demenz.lu Association Luxembourg Alzheimer (ala) : www.ala.lu  Longevity with health  The results are clear, for dementia and living a long life with good health: we need to put in place good habits of physical, social and mental health.  Links to the notes above: https://www.5ironmansbeatalzheimer.com www.pdp.lu https://www.alzheimer-europe.org https://fbhi.se/sv/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/fingers-brain-health-institute/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/miia-kivipelto-8a8b1b3b/ https://www.chl.lu/fr https://m3s.gouvernement.lu/en.html https://www.uni.lu/lcsb-en/ https://ki.se/en

 Is dementia really preventable? The answer is more complicated than a simple yes or no. There are some things we can control and other things we cannot, but  groundbreaking research shows that up to 40 percent of dementia cases might be preventable through lifestyle changes.  That's nearly half of all cases that could potentially be delayed or avoided. In today's episode, we'll explore the science behind daily habits that can protect your brain health. We'll separate fact from fiction about dementia and examine the latest research and most importantly, share practical tips you can take today to reduce your risk. Whether you're concerned about your own cognitive health or caring for a loved one, this month long series will give you lots of information, motivation, and inspiration regarding brain health. And what could be more important than saving the brains.   But first, let's do a quick mini medical school review about dementia and Alzheimer's. Today's focus will be on Alzheimer's disease because it accounts for 60 80 percent of all cases of dementia.  There are currently over 6 million people in the United States who are 65 or older who have Alzheimer's disease. It is the 6th leading cause of death in this country, but it moves up to number 5 if we're talking about older Americans.  Over the last 20 years, the incidence has increased by an alarming One hundred and forty five percent. Wow. So, what causes it? Well, that's a good question, and there isn't a clear answer. One way to think about dementia is to think about the way other organs fail, like heart failure and kidney failure. Dementia is, quite simply, brain failure. Now, the brain is made up of neurons, which are nerve cells, and those are found throughout the body. In the brain, these cells are responsible for complex connections and communication, and that enables us to think, smell, talk, see, hear, remember, make decisions, plan, and move our bodies. And with dementia, these cells start to die, and the brain begins to shrink.  But listen, brains typically begin to shrink around age 30 or 40 in perfectly healthy people. Then it ramps up around age 60, even more after age 70. We call this shrinkage atrophy, and to some degree it is normal.  But the good news is that we have some reserve to the tune of about 100 billion nerve cells, 100 trillion synapses, which are the connections between nerve cells and a whole bunch of neurotransmitters, Which are the chemicals that go between nerve cells to make communication possible. So, this network has some resilience even when there's an overall loss of brain volume. However, Alzheimer's is not normal atrophy. The brain shrinks at an accelerated rate. And no one knows for certain what happens inside the brain of people affected by Alzheimer's disease. But the two most notable things are plaques and tangles. If you've never seen it up close and personal, you may envision someone who doesn't know how to get around and can't remember your name. But, it's not really like that at first, and it's tricky. It's not uncommon for family members and close friends to get a little concerned about someone's mind, then see times of brilliance and you think, Oh, everything's fine. So, This visual of tangled neurons really helps us understand that. Sometimes you're brushing your hair and everything's smooth and then sometimes you hit a mess and the brush gets hung up.  These tangles interrupt the transport system in the brain. And it's thought to be related to the Tau protein. The other process that seems to contribute to Alzheimer's is plaque.  Now, When I say the word plaque, you may think of the dental hygienist prying your mouth open and picking at that buildup on your teeth. The plaques on your teeth are made of tartar, but the plaques in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease are made of beta amyloid. And these are just sticky pieces of protein that come from the fatty membrane around the nerve cells. And things that stick together clump together, and these form plaques. And it blocks cellular communication.  On top of that, there's an immune response where inflammation causes cells to just be gobbled up.  There are going to be some great resources to better understand this process.  I'm going to put all of this together for you and send it out every Friday this whole month so you have all these resources at your fingertips. And of course, if you aren't on my email list. You should be. You can sign up so you don't miss it. Now that you have an overall understanding of Alzheimer's, let's get back to prevention. When we look at the research, we divide the risk factors into two buckets, modifiable and non modifiable. We're going to focus on the modifiable. Simply put, it's things you can control versus things you cannot. And this might be a really good time to recite the serenity prayer. Lord, help me to change the things I can. And accept the things I cannot.  Today, we will focus on what we can change. And I'm going to give you a quick list of known contributing factors for dementia. And this is not a complete list and these are not your practical steps, but I think this is good information for you to have before we really get started. Number one, diabetes, and it's way more prevalent than you might think.  Next is midlife, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, midlife obesity, smoking, physical inactivity, poor diet, which is the standard American diet, stress, and lack of quality social connectedness.  Notice there's a strong correlation between things that affect heart health and things that affect brain health.  We often don't think of heart disease or dementia as being reversible. But what if,  what if, that's a question that deserves an answer. What if it's preventable and what if it's reversible? Dr. Dean Ornish addressed that question in the 70s for heart disease. And in June of this last year, he released a small research study showing reversal of cognitive decline.  Let's pause for a minute and let that sink in. Not only is evidence showing that 40 percent of dementia is preventable, but now we have some evidence that at least in some people and to some degree, It's reversible. And if that doesn't motivate you, I don't know what does. Now, this study was promising, but small. We're going to dive into the details in an upcoming episode in this series, but we're also going to look at information published by a reputable medical journal called the Lancet Commission, as well as recommendations and facts from the World Alzheimer Report, the National Institutes of Health, or NIH, and the Alzheimer's Association. If you're interested in more information. , I'm going to put together a list of helpful resources, and some of them have some really cool visual tools where you can tour the brain. There's a link in the show notes to sign up for my email, or just go to my website, www. healthylooksgreatonyou.com There's some great resources for you there, and episodes on diabetes and hypertension, because those are also contributing factors.  And if all of this does motivate you to make lifestyle changes, as a bonus, you can sign up for a free mini course that I put together to help you work through making healthy habit changes. It's called seven day kickstart to healthy habits, but let's jump to the bottom line to quote the World Alzheimer's report 2024. "There is no magic bullet for dementia, but there are tangible steps big and small that individuals can take to reduce risk. And any step is better than doing nothing."   So let's look at those any steps.  There were nine risk factors that were identified to be modifiable, meaning you can change them, but they've added three more for a total of twelve. I've divided them up into eight steps. Step one is literally a step, and that's physical activity. Any activity is better than no activity. And I would also say, the more, the better. Aim for at least 30 minutes a day to promote blood flow to the brain, which feeds your brain by delivering oxygen and nutrients. Most experts have focused on aerobic exercise, which is getting your heart rate up. So, while it's great to walk three miles a day, if you aren't huffing and puffing just a little bit, But you probably aren't getting the maximum benefits. High intensity exercise can optimize the environment for creating new connections between neurons in the brain by releasing something called brain derived neurotropic factor or BDNF. This is a warrior in the brain that goes to battle to fight cognitive decline.  More recently, strength training is being emphasized, especially quad strength. The muscles in the legs are some of the biggest in the body. According to "The Brain Docs", Dr. Aisha and Dean Shirazi, research has consistently shown that leg strength correlates with enhanced cognitive function. And on top of that, strong legs means less falls as we age and falling is associated with all kinds of bad things besides bruising and breaking bones.  Another area that is currently being studied is called combined cognitive physical interventions. I'm going to talk more about this later, but it refers to activities that force you to use your muscles and brain at the same time. Now the studies are not conclusive, but the concept is that if you challenge your brain while exercising, you get more benefit. Some people call it exergames, but think dancing, tai chi, virtual reality games, walking and recall, such as memorizing scripture while you walk. That's something I really enjoy because it's also outside in nature, which is a great stress reliever. And the instructor at the gym where I go comes up with all kinds of things to make sure our brains are being challenged in our circuits class.   And speaking of moving, let's move on to step number two.  You probably knew this was coming, but the next step is diet. And of course, the big question is always, which diet? Let me just cut to the chase and tell you that lifestyle medicine promotes a whole food plant predominant diet. That means cutting out processed foods, especially ultra processed foods, and eating instead whole foods. You know, the way God designed them instead of the way food manufacturing industry packages them. And yes, I know it's expensive and confusing and I talk about that in other episodes, but if you want to protect your brain, you've got to nourish it and nutrients come from food. The more the food resembles the way it exists in nature, the more nutrients it contains. And that seems simple enough, but what does research and evidence tell us exactly? Well, Dr. Ornish says, whole food, minimally processed, plant based diet is best. for preventing and reversing dementia. And listen, his program is intense. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine says we should limit the amount of sugar and saturated fats. And make sure to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. The World Alzheimer's Report tells us to diversify the food groups you consume and avoid ultra processed foods. In fact, we always say, eat the rainbow. That means different foods with different colors and that provides the different nutrients that we need. And, by the way, when we talk about foods with different colors, we're not really talking about Fruit Loops, regardless of whether or not they contain dyes. Listen, junk food is junk food whether it's brightly colored or pale.  So what kind of diet? We're talking about diets that are rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. Those are all associated with better brain health. The Mediterranean diet is a classic example. The Mediterranean diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, fish, and healthy fats, and has been consistently linked to lower rates of Alzheimer's disease.  And the MIND diet is a combination of the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet, which is used to treat and prevent hypertension. And it has also been shown to reduce dementia by as much as 53 percent. I have a separate episode on that.  If you actually read the list of 12 modifiable risk factors, it doesn't specify diet, but instead includes maintaining a healthy weight and diabetes. And both of those are directly related to diet.   Step number three is don't smoke. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this one because fortunately most people don't smoke. That's one of the reasons that the rates of heart disease and stroke are decreasing. However, marijuana use is skyrocketing and we are starting to see evidence that it can increase the risk of heart attack by four fold. And I imagine as this trend plays out, we'll see more and more negative effects. On top of that, air pollution has been linked to dementia. Now, I do have an episode on smoking cessation with some helpful resources. I'll link it in the show notes. You can find it on my website, but suffice it to say that anything that damages blood vessels damages the heart and the brain. Smoking contributes to cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and stroke. And is clearly a risk factor for dementia. Hypertension is independently listed as one of the 12 modifiable risk factors and so is a high LDL cholesterol.   Step 4 is meaningful social interaction. We need people in our lives. Ideally, we could combine all these measures together. Eat your meals with people. Exercise in a class. Stimulate your brain with games that involve another person. There is strong evidence that links social connectedness to overall health in general and brain health in particular. Not only that, the one thing that is the strongest indicator for both happiness and longevity is It's social connectedness.  I have a couple of episodes on loneliness. The latter focuses on mood and it turns out that depression is also a risk factor for dementia.  To be honest, it's hard to know the difference or which came first,  but it's clear that loneliness is linked to poor health outcomes in general. Step number five is stay mentally active. Now, people with less education to begin with have an increased risk of dementia. But that doesn't mean that once you graduate, you can stop there. Be a lifelong learner. And this doesn't just mean to sit around and do brain teaser puzzles, although there may be some benefit to that. But there's clearly benefit in learning new things, especially hard things. Challenging your brain helps create new connections, and new connections help maintain reserve during the aging process. Learning a new language is probably one of the best things you can do to challenge your brain. But it's hard. Memorizing is another good thing, and I cannot tell you how much memorizing scripture has meant to me personally. Not only for brain health, but for spiritual health.   Number six is just protect your body.  Pay attention to your overall health, that includes your teeth, but specifically protect your noggin. Head injuries are associated with an increased risk of dementia. I'm going skiing this month and I will be wearing a helmet, but also make sure your home is safe. Rugs can be a hazard, so can puppies and bathtubs. Remove clutter and cords so you don't trip.   Other things that fall under protect your noggin are hearing aids. You see, when sound enters your ears, it goes to your brain for processing. And when you can't hear well, those parts of your brain start to shrink. Wearing hearing aids may help prevent dementia. And more recently, research has also found an association between vision loss and dementia, likely for the same reasons. So, maximize those inputs to your brain through your eyes and ears and protect your head.   One of the most common causes of traumatic brain injury is car accidents. Two of the biggest factors associated with motor vehicle crashes are alcohol and sleepy driving.  So, step number seven is avoid excess alcohol. Previously, evidence indicated that one to two drinks a day was considered safe and maybe even protective. Admittedly, people who live in blue zones often consume red wine on a regular basis. And if you aren't familiar with blue zones, I'll have an upcoming episode, but basically, It refers to five geographic areas in the world where people routinely live to be over 100 years old with vim and vigor.  Only one of them is in the United States. It's in Loma Linda, California. There's a large population of people there who belong to the seventh day Adventist faith in that part of the country. And their lifestyle is marked not only by faith, but also strong social ties, a vegetarian diet, time in nature, and no tobacco, and no alcohol. Regardless, there is an alarming trend of increasing alcohol consumption, and excess alcohol is clearly linked to dementia. For more on alcohol, I included a previous episode link in the show notes. There is no controversy in the literature that two drinks a day is the limit. Quitting is hard, but And I've included some resources on my website.  Lastly, step number eight is sleep. I know, I know I said there were 12 modifiable risk factors. Thank you so much for paying attention. I will list them out, one through 12 in my newsletter. But for this episode, I grouped them together.   In a recent episode, I called sleep the mood mechanic. But the brain repair work that goes on during sleep is so much more than mood. Poor sleep is associated with so many of the risk factors for dementia, like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, and obesity.  Poor sleep, especially in late midlife, is associated with an increased risk of dementia. And if this is an area where you struggle, you will be glad to know that I have an entire series on sleep coming up next month with lots of great resources. Some of them are already on my website so hop on over there and snag them.  The Lancet Commission states that "Our new life course model and evidence synthesis has paramount worldwide policy implications."  And they conclude by saying, "It is never too early and never too late in the life course for dementia prevention." So, no matter how old you are and what your risk factors are, prioritize your physical health and your brain health because healthy looks great on you.  RESOURCES: Join the email list for all the resources Preventing Cognitive Decline Practical tips for caregivers and friends of people with dementia How to prevent and reverse type 2 diabetes Control your blood pressure How to quit  Sleep - the mood mechanic Kickstart Healthy Habits in 7 Days The deadly epidemic of loneliness From loneliness to belonging Which diet is healthiest?         The information contained in this podcast is for educational purposes only and is not considered to be a substitute for medical advice.

Lisa is joined by Lakelyn Eichenberger, Ph.D. to talk about the simple steps even the busiest caregivers can incorporate to prioritize themselves. Dr. EIchenbarger has dedicated her career to educating professionals, families and communities on how to navigate the unique challenges older adults and family caregivers face. She is a seasoned public speaker and expert on aging issues, appearing on conference stages such as Aging in America and Meals on Wheels, and programming such as Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil and the Hallmark Channel's Home and Family Show.Home Instead shares tips for prioritizing one's well-being during World Alzheimer's MonthOMAHA, Neb., Sept. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As the number of Americans living with Alzheimer's continues to rise – now exceeding 6 million Americans – the dedicated caregivers supporting these older adults find themselves confronted with challenges such as managing high stress levels, dealing with sleep deprivation and struggling to find time for self-care. Unfortunately for caregivers, these factors are known to contribute to the development of the disease, putting them at greater risk.Eighty percent of Alzheimer's care is provided in the home, not a facility, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As the leading provider of in-home care for older adults, Home Instead® recognizes the vital role caregivers have in the lives of individuals affected by Alzheimer's. Beyond providing care to those with the disease, it's important to protect the well-being of Alzheimer's caregivers themselves."Among the most common concerns our Care Professionals hear from family caregivers is that they don't want their own children to become family caregivers," said Lakelyn Hogan Eichenberger, Ph.D., gerontologist and caregiving advocate at Home Instead. "Alzheimer's is a difficult disease to live with for everyone involved. Carving time for self-care might feel selfish, but it's the most productive action you can take to keep your future self healthy."On Thursday, Sept. 21, at 12:00PM CDT, Home Instead is hosting a virtual brain health workshop for family caregivers to learn more about how maintaining a healthy brain can positively impact your memory and help reduce the risk of Alzheimer's. Registration is free, click here to RSVP.During World Alzheimer's Month, Home Instead is calling attention to the connection between healthy habits and brain health and encouraging caregivers to prioritize their needs. Growing evidence suggests that people can reduce their risk of cognitive decline by adopting key lifestyle changes. But major changes can feel overwhelming to those caring for loved ones. Here are suggestions for simple steps even the busiest caregivers can incorporate to prioritize themselves:Exercise to promote cardiovascular health. Those who exercise have a lower risk of developing cognitive decline. Even 30 minutes of movement can make a difference. Activities like walking, swimming and light jogging boost heart rate and preserve mental function.Eat right to fuel the brain. Choose lean meats and olive oil-enriched foods to enhance brain health, mood and memory. Reducing red meat and saturated fats can alleviate brain fog, sluggishness and exhaustion.Sleep and relax. Sleep detoxes the brain and promotes tissue healing. Experts recommend between seven and nine hours of sleep a night to promote optimal health. Trouble sleeping? Consider trying an eye mask or sleeping app.Maintain social connections. Studies have shown those with the most social interaction within their community experience the slowest rate of memory decline. Regular social interaction, such as a phone call with a friend, can slow memory decline, particularly if you live alone.Engage your brain. People who continue to learn, embrace new activities, and develop new skills are building and improving the networks in their brain. Stay curious and engage in brain games like crosswords, puzzles, bingo or phone apps to keep your mind active.Take a positive approach to stress management. Chronic stress can harm the brain, affecting memory and mood regulation. Focus on the present, embrace natural events and think positively to reduce stress. Practice deep breathing and positive mantras multiple times a day to help you reset.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5948889/advertisement

September 21 marks the annual World Alzheimer's Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia as well as their impact on individuals, families, and communities worldwide. This year's theme is "Never too early, never too late," which aims to underscore the role of identifying risk factors and adopting proactive risk reduction measures to delay, and potentially even prevent, the onset of dementia. What are some of the risk factors? What are the latest breakthroughs in Alzheimer's research and treatment? On the show: Heyang, Xingyu & Josh Cotterill

“Never too early, never too late”- that's the theme of the 30th World Alzheimer's Day, observed worldwide this year on Thursday, September 21st, focusing on risk factors and risk reduction for the disease. Yet the disease still has no cure, and an estimated two thirds of the people globally have little awareness of the Alzheimer's. However, with aging as a great risk factor for the development of the disease, it has become an increasing challenge for fast aging countries like China. CGTN Radio reporters visited a nursing home in southwest China earlier this year and provide an in-depth coverage of the lives of those living with Alzheimer's and the challenges in the country's fight against the disease. Our special thanks go to the seniors and their families who shared their stories, as well as Huang Sihai and his team for their support in making this documentary possible.

Ajantha Abey narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher. In this blog, Ajantha discusses a renewed sense of optimism in Alzheimer's research, marked by the FDA approval of three new drugs in the last three years. These drugs represent a paradigm shift as they aim to modify the disease itself rather than just alleviate symptoms. Alongside these therapeutic advances, the field is benefiting from an expanded understanding of disease mechanisms and increasing industry investment, signalling meaningful progress and hope for future breakthroughs. Let's raise awarness for World Alzheimer's Day 2023. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/guest-blog-world-alzheimers-day-2023-a-new-era-of-optimism/ -- Ajantha Abey is a PhD student in the Kavli Institute at University of Oxford. He is interested in the cellular mechanisms of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other diseases of the ageing brain. Previously, having previoulsy explored neuropathology in dogs with dementia and potential stem cell replacement therapies.

 Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// Fighting for Banaba Part 3//Last week, Priya caught up with Professor Katerina Teaiwa and Itinterunga Rae Banteiti to discuss the colonial history of phosphate mining on Banaba and the fight by Banabans for reparations and an end to extraction. This conversation occurs in the context of a recent push by Australian mining company Centrex, which has sought to conduct phosphate prospecting activities on the island under the greenwashing premise of “rehabilitation.” This week, you will hear third segment a three-part interview with Katerina and Rae - listen back to parts 1 and 2 here.// Katerina is an interdisciplinary scholar, artist and award winning teacher of Banaban, I-Kiribati and African American heritage born and raised in Fiji. She is Professor of Pacific Studies in the School of Culture, History and Language, College of Asia and the Pacific at the Australian National University, and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Rae is of Banaban and Kiribati origins and was raised and educated in Fiji. Rae's environment and social justice work are linked to Kiribati people's histories and the extent of environmental degradation caused by extensive mining.// You can find the petition started by the Banaban community on Rabi Island, Fiji, which demands a defence of Banaban rights and the prevention of any further mining of the island, below. There are also links to further information about the impacts of mining on Banaban people and their tireless campaigning to protect and restore Banaba.// Sign the Petition: STOP CENTREX MINING ON BANABA, DEFEND BANABAN RIGHTS, AND CHALLENGE THE RABI ADMINISTRATORArt Exhibit Brings Banaban Human Rights Struggles to Global Stage [article]Forced Displacement, Banaba, and the Right to Life with Dignity [article]Why you must see Project Banaba – an Exhibition by Katerina Teaiwa [article]We are the Fiery Canoe Foundation [video] Driving the Nazis out of Melbourne//Ellie from Campaign Against Racism and Fascism joined us to talk about an upcoming protest event that CARF is holding to drive the nazis out of so-called Melbourne! A few weeks ago, we had fellow CARF member Jasmine on to discuss this upcoming rally, but since then we've seen some successful anti-fascist resistance to attempted neo-nazi intimidation of a fundraiser event last Friday at Cafe Gummo in Thornbury. Today, Ellie will continue the discussion about the importance of broad-based anti-fascist resistance, let us know about the speak-out held this past Tuesday at Gummo, and remind listeners about details of the protest coming up this Saturday the 23rd of September, meeting at 2PM at the IGA in Sunshine West.// Dementia Action Week 2023//Maree McCabe AM, CEO and Board Member of Dementia Australia, joined us today for Dementia Action Week 2023, which runs from 18-24 September and includes World Alzheimer's Day on Thursday 21 September, to talk about stigma, discrimination, and lack of awareness of dementia. A recognised leader in the health and aged care, Maree brings more than twenty years' experience across the health, mental health and aged care sectors. If you live with dementia or are the family member, friend or carer of someone who does and would like further information or advice about dementia, you can call the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500 for free support 24/7. // National Union of Students on the Housing Australia Future Fund//The National Union of Students supported putting pressure on the federal government to introduce a rent cap to address housing stress experienced by students. Recently, however, the Greens backflipped on withholding support for the Housing Australia Future Fund after getting a commitment for extra spending on social housing from the Labor government, reducing the pressure to introduce a rent cap. To discuss how this contributes to the housing stress faced by students, impacts federal housing policy and influences their campaigning in the future we were joined by National Union of Students' Education Officer Xavier Dupe. During the interview, Xavier mentioned the NUS Education Office's ‘Get A Room' campaign to fix the rental crisis - find out more here.// Building Community with Resident Frequency Recording Studio//Earlier this week, Spike caught up with Izzy Brown to congratulate her on the launch of the latest grassroots community project she has been involved in called the Resident Frequency Recording studio. Located at the old men's shed at 253 Hoddle St Collingwood, the Resident Frequency Recording Studio is an important local community controlled resource that should be celebrated, and Izzy spoke to us about its launch on Sunday September 17th, the importance of building free, safe and inclusive community spaces, and shared the local community's hopes to develop autonomous skillshare and mentoring programs from the Collingwood public housing estate site.//

As a long-time fan of n5MD, I showcased Mike's label on solipsistic NATION, my electronic music show, years ago. Mike guest deejayed on Soundwave in 2021 and returns today with a much-needed mix for me. I can't go into the details, but last week I nearly died. You'd never know it by looking at me. Physically I'm fine. But I'm shaken. I find that I quickly get emotional about things. Sometimes I have a profound respect for life, all lives. Sometimes I'm filled with existential despair. I'm told this will pass in a few months. In the meantime, I'm having these overwhelming experiences. Mike doesn't know this, but his mix helped get me through the week. Mike has some words about today's mix below. My song, “Sunrise at Ironhorse Trail,” included in today's mix, is from a release that I will be releasing on my personal Bandcamp page on World Alzheimer's Day. My father passed this January in what can best be described as complications due to mixed dementia. All proceeds will be donated to Hope Hospice, which was very integral in the comfort of my father in the last days of his life, as well as, and maybe even more importantly, my mother's grief counseling after his passing.

Today, we're incredibly excited to be joined on the podcast by Paola Barbarino, the CEO of Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI). ADI are the global leaders of the Alzheimer's and Dementia awareness movement, representing over 100 national associations all the way to the highest stages of international co-operation - The United Nations and World Health Organisation. Paola and her team are tireless in their work supporting organisations like Dementia Australia, Alzheimer's UK and Alzheimer's Association (USA) and providing resources for people diagnosed and living with dementia, their families, carers, clinicians, NGOs and Governments. ADl is behind World Alzheimer's Month which just wrapped up, but raising awareness doesn't stop and it's a constant journey that we all need to be on together, so we're releasing this episode outside of World Alzheimer's Month, to keep the conversation and momentum going. Why is awareness still so important in developed countries like the UK and Australia? Why should our immediate focus be on the journey to diagnosis and beyond? How has the Covid pandemic affected diagnosis and what's the perfect storm that's on the horizon? How can passionate advocates drag reluctant Governments to change? Paola provides great insights into all of this and much more. We hope you enjoy this episode and if you do, then share your feedback with us via a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us. The Aged Care Enrichment Podcast is brought to you by SilVR Adventures ⬇️
