Gut Punched: Alzheimer’s and Caregivers EP 100 - The Savvy Caregiver

In Episode 100 of GutPunched: Alzheimer’s and Caregivers, host Jeff Edwards explores a powerful and often unspoken question: What is the true goal of caregiving? Jeff shares insights from The Savvy Caregiver Course manual, offering perspective, validation, and encouragement for those navigating the emotional and physical demands of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. In the “What’s New with Alzheimer’s?” segment, Dr. John Huffaker addresses a listener's question about the progression of swallowing difficulties in Alzheimer’s patients, an important and often challenging stage for caregivers to understand and manage. The episode also includes heartfelt gratitude to supporters, sponsors, and organizations that have helped make the podcast possible, including healthcare partners, advocacy groups, and behind-the-scenes contributors. To commemorate this milestone, Jeff shares a deeply personal gift: an original song titled “I Still Choose You.” Inspired by both his wife and his caregiving experience, the song is meant to give caregivers something meaningful to share with their loved ones, a reminder that even in the face of loss, connection and love endure. This 100th episode is more than a celebration; it’s a tribute to resilience, compassion, and the unique journey every caregiver walks. As Jeff reflects, we may not be in the same boat, but we are all navigating the same river.
