Gut Punched: Alzheimer’s and Caregivers EP 79

Welcome (and brace yourself),  host Jeff Edwards is back with another dose of truth, humor, and heart for those in the trenches of caregiving. This week, we’re tackling the latest buzz around GLP-1s and Alzheimer’s. Are these new drugs the next big thing in brain health, or just another fad with a fancy acronym? Plus, we’ll lace up and count our steps, literally, as Jeff breaks down how many daily steps it actually takes to slow Alzheimer’s decline. Of course, it wouldn’t be GutPunched without revisiting the sacred caregiver commandments, those five brutally honest tenets that keep you (and your sanity) intact when life gets messy. From self-care as survival to creating a “help signal” your loved one actually remembers, Jeff reminds us that caregiving isn’t just hard, it’s heroic, hilarious, and heartbreakingly human. We’ll also shout out the amazing folks at Heart, Body, & Mind Home Care, and celebrate the community wins from the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Lee County, with Collier County’s walk just around the corner.
