  • Audio mic feedback or is there a tv playing during your recording?

    I am new to this podcast. A bit desperate for information after concluding that my Dad is in early stages of Alzheimer’s. You provide wonderful information but the audio is terrible, and extremely hard to hear. It’s either echoing feedback from your microphone or…is there a TV/radio playing in the background? Is there anyway to fix this?

  • Interesting but not up to date with all advances

    In your latest episode, you say that Alzheimer’s can only be diagnosed by an autopsy post-mortem. This is no longer true. PET scans can visualize amyloid plaques and tau tangles and there are biomarkers in the spinal fluid as well.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anxiety, Dementia and Care Partners with Pete DCalke
Q: What is the most important piece of advice for people dealing with anxiety and caregiving challenges?
He highlights breath work, journaling, meditation, and reaching out for help as fundamental tools, stressing that it's important to normalize seeking support and to remind people they're not alone.
Anxiety, Dementia and Care Partners with Pete DCalke
Q: What experience with your grandmothers resonates most with this topic?
Pete explains the emotional toll of watching loved ones with dementia and how the memories of who they were linger as the disease progresses, underscoring the need for empathy and practical coping strategies for caregivers.
A Conversation With Dr. Johnson On “Time Travel” Based Memories
Q: Why is time travel an important framework for understanding dementia care, and how does it change the caregiver's approach to interaction with the patient?
The time travel model helps caregivers meet the person where they are temporally and emotionally, validates their experiences, reduces distress, and minimizes reliance on psychotropic medications by aligning care with the patient's perceived reality rather than forcing present-tense reality.
A Conversation With Andrew Karesa From blueBell Village
Q: What future changes or improvements do you hope to see in dementia care at a systemic level?
A shift toward dignity-first, person-centered care that respects cultural differences, broader government support, and practical implementation of dementia strategies so families aren't left shouldering the burden alone.
A Conversation With Andrew Karesa From blueBell Village
Q: What are the core features of blueBell Connect and why are they important for families?
BlueBell Connect unifies communication across families and multiple home-care providers, addressing information overload and ensuring everyone works toward a single, patient-centered goal.
