Resources For The Sandwich Generation: Self-Care Leads To Better Caregiving Featuring Elizabeth Miller Self-care is never selfish. Especially if you are a caregiver to an aging family member. If you don't take care of yourself you will not be able to take care of others. It's like when you fly and they tell you to put your oxygen mask on first. So let's make self-care a priority. Your aging family member will be much better off with you being healthy. About Elizabeth Elizabeth Miller is a family caregiver advocate, speaker, author, and Certified Caregiving Consultant.

Nutritional Neuroscience Used To Support Mental Well Being and Brain Function Featuring Delia McCabe There is an old saying we are what we eat. It's become even clearer through nutritional Neuroscience. What we eat is related to our body's health, our mental well-being, and our brain health. It has been determined through research that junk food adversely affects our performance. Our diet early on in life can end up having the same effect on our brains as we age. About Delia Delia McCabe (PhD) shifted her research focus from clinical psychology to nutritional neuroscience upon discovering nutrition’s critical role in mental wellbeing while completing her Masters. Delia’s research into female stress has been published in a number of peer-reviewed journals, she is a regular featured expert in the media and her two internationally available books are available in four languages. Using her background in psychology, combined with evidence-based nutritional neuroscience and neurological perspectives, Delia supports behaviour change and stress resiliency within corporates, and for individuals who want to optimize their brain health, via online courses, workshops and tailored events internationally. www.lby.life www.AGEUcational.com   Full Transcript Below Nutritional Neuroscience Used To Support Mental Well Being and Brain Function Featuring Delia McCabe Tue, 9/14 6:17PM • 53:32 SUMMARY KEYWORDS people, brain, aging, older, recall, reasons, psychology, environment, sit, feel, delia, walk, day, speaks, life, put, nutrition, body, roy, podcast SPEAKERS Delia, Terry, Roy Barker   Roy Barker  00:02 Hello, and welcome to another episode of AGEUcational This is Roy.   Terry  00:05 This is Terry.   Roy Barker  00:06 So we're the podcast that talks about a lot about aging.

Finally, Human Hormones Explained - How They Can Help As We Age with Dr. Robert Yoho Hormones should be a part of general primary care There are many indications for hormones for younger women, especially women who've had a hysterectomy, who've had ovarian failure, It may be you know that we're getting discouraged or it may be that there are toxic chemicals or maybe something about the high sugar diet or something but it's a phenomenon over many decades. About Dr. Robert I was born in l953 in Richmond, Virginia, and grew up in Kent, Ohio, (known for the Kent State riots during the Vietnam war). I was an Eagle Scout and a Judo wrestler. I spent four years at Oberlin College and went to Small College National Championships in Varsity Wrestling his senior year. I was then accepted at one of the finest medical schools in the United States, Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. At 22 years old, one year into my medical education, I decided that I needed to "find myself" and took a two-year sabbatical. After starting and managing a tree surgery business, I went to Wyoming to work on oil drilling rigs, and then spent the next year traveling to rock climbing areas. I became a master climber and traveled to cliffs in twelve states. Additionally, I published articles in climbing magazines and made "first ascents" at Devil's Tower, Wyoming, and Joshua Tree, California. I made an early ascent of "The Naked Edge," a classic climb near Denver, and climbed the Long's Peak Diamond. As recently as the mid-1980s, I climbed such difficult classics as Astroman, the west face of El Capitan, and the Crucifix in Yosemite, free climbing up to a mid-"5.12" difficulty level. I climbed the Regular Northwest Face of Half Dome in 18 hours in 2004 and the Nose route on El Capitan in less than 24 hours in 2005. After returning to medical school in l978, I found that bodybuilding complemented my studies. With the added responsibility of specialty training and professional pressures, I had less opportunity for athletics in the past decade. However, I ran 14 triathlons in the late '80s and early '90s and made time for some Kempo Karate (though injuries sidelined me). I have practiced Astanga (flow) Yoga and trained with the legendary 70-year-old master Yogi, Frank White, at the "Center For Yoga" in Hollywood.

Wow! How Grandparents Have Changed. Learn About Today's Modern Grandparents with Suzette Perez-Tate Grandparents aren't just rocking on the front porch any longer. Today's grandparents are doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs. They are hip and cool. They run marathons, they are yoga masters, help with afterschool child care, and all without the "blue hair" bun. When someone says they are a grandparent, don't be fooled. About Suzette My name is Suzette Perez-Tate, I am the creator and coauthor of the children's picture book series The Grands Modern-Day Grandparent. I am a modern-day grandparent from Southern California. My husband and I have a blended family with 5 adult children and 5 grandchildren. Many children's books highlight grandparents as a one dimensional character in the way they look, the way they act, and the role they play in their grandchildren's lives. This was not a concept that was relatable to me and it inspired me to create a children's books series that included a variety of characters and a variety of family dynamics. Along with my coauthor Anisa Delaluz, we have been able to publish 2 books in our series so far. Our hope is that families will see themselves in this series.  FB - The Grands: Modern Day Grandparent IG - @thegrandsmdg www.AGEUcational.com Full Transcript Below Wow!

Reinvention Is Possible At All Ages, Listen To These Amazing Stories with Wendy Battles Age is just a number, right? Right! Wendy proves this by giving us stories of women 50 - 90 years old that have taken the step to reinvent themselves. From writing a book to moving out of the country to be a whiskey intern, these ladies are doing it. These great stories provide those of us at a certain age inspiration that drastic changes are possible at any age. If you can dream it you can do it. Don't let age hold you back. About Wendy Hi, I’m Wendy Battles. I’m a curious soul who loves to talk to people and understand their experiences. I believe that reinvention is a natural part of life, something that many of us have done numerous times. At 55, I’m at it again but this time, I’m not just reinventing myself, I’m becoming a Reinvention Rebel – finding my voice and unapologetically pursuing my biggest dreams and desires. This is where you’ll find me every two weeks talking with amazing women who have become Reinvention Rebels and reimagined their lives in their 50s, 60s, 70s, even 80s and beyond. We talk about their Reinvention Rebel journey – what stirred them to unapologetically pursue their dreams, how they overcame limitations and fears and where they draw their inspiration. We have powerful discussions about aging vibrantly – thriving and finding renewed joy, even amidst challenges. It’s empowering! I created this podcast because I’m DONE with the limiting narrative about older women in our society. The narrative that’s focused on all things we lose as we age.  I see it differently. I see this as an amazing time where wise women can find their true voice and step into a new sense of freedom – in an exciting and badass way. Come join me on this journey, let’s become Reinvention Rebels together. www.reinventionrebels.com www.ageucational.com Full Transcript Below Reinvention Is Possible At All Ages, Listen To These Amazing Stories with Wendy Battles Wed, 6/30 6:14PM • 50:48 SUMMARY KEYWORDS reinvention, people, reinvented, thought, podcast, women, live, age, friends, story, rebels, life, roy, older, nightclub singer, day, started, work, idea, find SPEAKERS Terry, Wendy, Roy Barker Roy Barker  00:08 Hello, and welcome to another episode of educational This is Roy, this is caring.
