Gut Punched: RESEARCH, RESILIENCE & REAL TALK: ALZHEIIMER’S WITHOUT THE FILTER

In episode 87, Jeff Edwards wraps up his discussion with Dr. John Huffaker from the Neuropsychiatric Research Center (NPRC).  Fresh from his first men’s caregiver group meeting of the year, standing-room-only and filled with new faces, Jeff reflects on the power of shared experience and why no caregiver should ever try to do this alone. Together with Dr. Huffaker, the episode dives into current Alzheimer’s research, the clinical studies underway at NPRC, and the amount of credible information now available to patients and caregivers alike. Jeff also breaks down a timely news topic: The finger-prick blood test making headlines and what it could mean for earlier detection and understanding of Alzheimer’s disease. Listeners will hear another installment of “What’s New in Alzheimer’s with Dr. John Huffaker,” and are encouraged to submit their own questions for future episodes. As always, Jeff reinforces the Five Tenets of Caregiving, the backbone of GutPunched, reminding caregivers to take care of themselves, ask for help, create systems of support, and give caregiving everything they’ve got. With gratitude to sponsors NPRC and Heart, Body, & Mind Home Care, this episode delivers education, encouragement, and hope because no one should walk this journey alone. #AlzheimersCaregiving #CaregiverSupport #DementiaCare #AlzheimersAwareness #CaregiversMatter #YouAreNotAlone #HopeForCaregivers #GutPunchedPodcast
