Take Aways

  • Make decisions ahead of time.
  • Consider each event you plan to host or attend this holiday season. What and how much will you eat?
  • You are beautiful as you are. 
  • Any effort you put in to not overeat is embellishments to an already beautiful YOU.
  • Exercise = Movement
  • The goal can be to move some every day.
  • There's no right or wrong form of exercise. There is no right or wrong length of exercise.
  • The steps around the airport count. The trips and up and down the stairs to the Christmas tree count. The walks along a beach during your vacation count!
  • It's okay if you don't get as much exercise as you'd like during this time. 
  • It's okay if you eat more than you think you should.
  • If the scale steadily goes up and up and up, make a change. Eat a little less tomorrow. Move a little more.

Redefining Dementia Person Centred Universe Just as Person Centred Universe’s educational and consultation work, the aim of the Redefining Dementia Podcast is to strive toward a better world for those affected by dementia. When consuming resources or media about dementia, the focus is often on the challenges, stigma and fear that may accompany a diagnosis of dementia. This podcast seeks to shift that narrative to focus on and celebrate living well with dementia and what that means for caregivers as well. Through the sharing of stories,resources and helpful life experiences, the podcast will look to connect with the audience to provide helpful and meaningful takeaways.
