Gut Punched: Alzheimer’s and Caregivers EP 45

In this episode of GutPunched, hosted by Jeff Edwards, we kick off March with a healthy dose of reality. After surviving Groundhog Day (and wondering if the little guy got it right), Jeff shares highlights from an eye-opening seminar on Alzheimer's and Dementia. Not only did Jeff meet a pair of doctors who are multi book authors, but he also took away enough valuable information to start contemplating a cognitive test of his own—because, hey, when you hit 50, it’s time to start paying attention to those little memory lapses... if you can remember why. The episode dives into a key topic: "Alzheimer’s in Mother Means Higher Inheritance Risk," examining how the disease affects families, and what that means for the future. To bring practical insight to the conversation, Jeff also sits down with the owner of Heart, Body & Mind Home Care—an award-winning, top-tier care service specializing in dementia and Parkinson's care. Their certified trainers have set the bar high for in-home care, and you won’t want to miss their tips on navigating the challenging terrain of caregiving. Jeff shares some essential GutPunched Rules for caregivers: Take care of yourself – Because if something happens to you, who’s going to take care of your loved one? You can’t do it alone – Find your tribe of support, whether it’s caregiver groups, friends, or family. Make lists – When caregiving duties pile up, write down who’s offered help and what needs to get done. Prioritize, delegate, and get things done. Trust us, it works! This episode brings a mix of wit, wisdom, and real-life advice, all wrapped up in Jeff's signature, no-nonsense style. If you’re a caregiver or know someone who is, this is a must-listen! And as always—GutPunched keeps you thinking, laughing, and maybe even looking into a few cognitive tests for yourself.
