Today we are discussing where to have Thanksgiving and a few preparations you might need to make ahead of time. This interview is over a minute, but it will be time well spent! I was blessed to interview Dr. Michael Leon to learn about Memory Air. He has developed a machine that helps improve the olfactory system (your sense of smell). A healthy olfactory system has a massive impact on the health of your brain. A healthy brain reduces dementia and other brain-related issues. That is excellent news. Check out his work at www.memoryair.com. Is there anything better than a good laugh? You know, the kind referred to as a "belly laugh." It is better than medicine. I hope this episode makes you and your person with dementia laugh! In January we will celebrate the 19th Anniversary of helping caregivers. Please consider being one of 190 individuals to commit to donating $10 a month to support our ministry. THANK YOU! Here is the link to get started. https://www.letstalkdementia.org/donations.html Hurricane Helene just made its way across a large area of the United States, and she brought a wide path of destruction. It was scary for so many people, and yet others realized huge blessings when the storm scooted past them. Should we tell our loved ones with dementia about impending storms? Do we discuss the storm in front of them? Listen in to learn the answer. This episode provides more details on grounding yourself and the person who might be near you. Just touching them also helps to ground them. It can be very beneficial for your loved one with dementia, also. Grounding is healing!
There is a link between your sense of smell and Parkinson’s Disease. There is also a link between your sense of smell and other health issues. Take a sniff. Is your sniffer working well?
Women like their purses, and men are keen on having their wallets in their back pockets and keys in their front pockets. It all feels natural and familiar. Then, we move them to memory care and take those things away. Don’t do that! Have you heard of “grounding?” It is a process by which your body absorbs electrons from the earth. There is a good bit of science regarding its effectiveness in healing the human body. Do you always play certain roles in your marriage while your spouse has different roles? Should you teach your spouse to handle finances, operate the washer and dryer, or pump gas? Yes! |
