                <![CDATA[Welcome to our April episode of “Caregiving Club On Air” hosted by Sherri Snelling, gerontologist, author and CEO of the Caregiving Club. 

We are highlighting two things happening in April on this episode: National Month of Hope and National Stress Awareness Month. 

Our guest for this episode could not be more perfect – Keith Saggers is the creator of NeuroFire, a neurobehavioral performance system for individuals and groups, and author of the upcoming book, “The Law of Hope.” We discuss the neuroscience of stress and how we function under the pressures and stressors that continue to hit the nervous system. Sherri and Keith also discuss how hope isn’t a feeling; it’s a trainable biological driver and how to go from the emotional aspect of hope to physical action. There is also a concept from Keith’s book on neuroscience vs. niceness that Sherri was fascinated to explore. These insights are focused on family caregivers dealing with stress and living with hope but anyone will benefit from the insights Keith delivers.

                <![CDATA[Welcome to our March episode of “Caregiving Club On Air” I’m your host – Sherri Snelling, gerontologist, author and CEO of the Caregiving Club. 

We are celebrating Brain Health Awareness Week March 16-20 by focusing this episode on the exploration of how our brains work in relation to one of our five senses: our sense of smell. 

As many of you know, my book ME TIME MONDAY was based on how our 5 senses affect brain health and function. When our senses are enhanced, we are building better brain performance while also reducing risk for chronic diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, by lowering inflammation and oxidative stress that have been shown to accelerate brain aging. 

Joining us is one of the most noted researchers on this area, Dr. Michael Leon, Professor Emeritus of the University of California at Irvine (UCI). His vast years of research are focused on neuroscience and disorders and diseases of the brain from autism to Alzheimer’s. His special expertise is in the interaction of the olfactory or sense of smell and how it can stimulate the brain for healthier outcomes.

Dr. Leon is also one of the co-creators of a wellness home product, Memory Air, which aids in better sleep health and memory improvement through scent and aromatherapy.

                <![CDATA[In this February episode, Sherri Snelling, gerontologist, author and host of the “Caregiving Club On Air” is discussing the mysterious case of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year old mother of TV host, Savannah Guthrie, who was apparently abducted from her home. Because this case highlights safety for older adults living alone, the health implications of older adults under stress and the role of AgeTech in home safety, Sherri interviews two experts to help us understand and unravel this mystery and use it as an opener to have conversations with older parents and grandparents about their own health and home safety. 

(10:18)	 Dr. Tina Sadarangani – Asst. Professor NYU, geriatric nurse and creator of Englightened Caregiver and CareMobi app – Dr. Tina enlightens us about the health issue for older adults in stressful situations – increased heart rate, anxiety, dehydration, mobility challenges and more that we do not always think about. We also talk about the use of technology as both a health aide and a home safety tool. We explore the tech tools that the medical community feels are helpful including Dr. Tina's CareMobi app. And, finally how do we have the talk with older loved ones about their safety at home? Is this case a kickstarter to those family conversations – Sherri and Dr. Tina discuss how to use frightening news headlines as lessons learned without increasing anxiety of those living alone. 

(34:38)	 Abbie Richie – Tech Guru at The Smarter Service – Abbie has been an expert in the world of AgeTech for many years as a TV host, radio host, podcast host and serving as the Tech Guru for The Smarter Service. This tech concierge service helps older adults living in senior living communities as well as those living at home – especially the solo agers. Abbie provides insights into the tech that Nancy Guthrie was using – Apple Watch to synch with her pacemaker, Google Nest home surveillance cameras, smartphone – what do we need to know and what other tech tools or alternative gadgets may also help us keep older loved ones safe at home – Abbie shares her top list. And we end with a discussion around tech and privacy - what we should know to provide trust and confidence for our older loved ones in their tech tools.

                <![CDATA[For our November Thanksgiving/Holidays episode Sherri Snelling, gerontologist, author and CEO of the Caregiving Club, highlights news and some of the recent studies for National Family Caregiver Month including recent research showing 20 million more caregivers have joined the caregiver volunteer army over the last decade, how men as caregivers are dealing with their mental health and how the Sandwich Generation is challenged with financial resiliency. 

And since families are gathering for the holidays Sherri shares some insights into how “respitality” can help traveling caregivers but also how caregivers can get a much-needed break during the holidays with respite care. Speaking of self-care, we know the holidays and recent adjustments to Daylight Savings Time on November 2 may negatively impact your sleep health – Sherri shares how your sleep posture tells you about the type of stress you may be experiencing during the hectic holidays.

Sherri also provides a sneak preview of Caregiving Club’s 5th Annual Holiday Gift Guide just in time for Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals. And she gives a shout-out to her fellow authors who have appeared on this podcast with books on caregiving, wellness, brain health and longevity for National Author’s Day November 1. 

We specifically made this podcast a little shorter than most of our episodes so you can have more minutes to focus on you this holiday season. We are grateful for all our podcast listeners and subscribers and to all the nation’s 63 million family caregivers! Happy Thanksgiving!

Sherri also provides insights into a new role for employers – a growing new trend in hiring Chief Longevity Officers or Chief Gerontology Officers and how this will change not just workplaces but products, services, communities and home
o	And, since October is Halloween month, Sherri highlights two topics that made us think of spooky or scary aging and caregiving issues: Zombie Cells and Cog Fog. She shares how to combat them both and whether blue methylene is good for your brain health?

In WELL HOME DESIGN NEWS, Sherri covers:
o	A new study showing couples who live together have a stronger mental health connection – which can be good and bad. It also demonstrates how environmental and social wellness (our homes and relationships) can impact our emotional health.
o	October is also Long-Term Care Planning Month so Sherri pivots into one of the 7 wellness elements from her ME TIME MONDAY book with a look at Financial Wellness. AARP’s recent survey shows solo agers, especially older women, are at great financial risk. Sherri offers some long-term care planning resources to help older adults and family caregivers find out what can help for future financial resiliency.

                <![CDATA[May is a BIG month and we have two great guests for this episode: Harry Margolis, Elder Law Attorney and Linda Kafka, Founder/Principal of Neuro Design Academy. Since May is both National Elder Law Month and Home Modification Month, these two experts are perfect for this episode to share valuable information caregivers do not want to miss!

In our Caregiver Wellness News, we focus on May Older Americans Month and an awareness campaign where Sherri served as gerontology advisor on for Theora Care called “No Fear.” And since May is also Mental Health Awareness Month, Sherri shares some insights from research done by Prof. Jean Twenge at San Diego State University on iGen and social media dangers to teen mental health. Sherri also shares information about the latest educational campaign from the Caregiver Action Network on caring for someone with PTSD; and a new stress relief, self-care app called eLightn.me from Drs. Alman and Felitti. 

For our Well Home Design News, we put the spotlight on May as National Home Improvement Month and National Moving Month. Sherri talks two great resources, TruBlue Home Service Ally for finding handymen and other home small modification services; and Porch.com for downsizing or moving an older loved one. 

And in our Pop Culture segment. Sherri shares the latest documentaries and films you can stream on caregiving with celebrities like Bradley Cooper, Martin Sheen, Seth and Lauren Miller Rogen and more.

                <![CDATA[We are kicking off April with what is top of mind for everyone – how AI (artificial intelligence) is affecting and changing aging and caregiving. We have two experts in this area: Lawrence Kosick, Co-Founder of Get Set Up and Dor Skuler, Founder and CEO of Intuition Robotics, makers of ElliQ. They talk about how they are using AI to help both older adults and caregivers make managing health easier and more personalized.

In our Caregiver Wellness News, we focus on April as National Stress Awareness Month and Sherri shares the latest on the Tik Tok trend, “cortisol face” and what caregivers should know. Sherri also talks about a new way to measure cortisol and stress in the workplace using saliva being tested with Cleveland Clinic employees. And new insights from a recent report from United Church Homes and MIT AgeLab on how caregivers feel about AI and managing care for their older loved one.

For our Well Home Design News, we put the spotlight on April’s National Parkinson’s Awareness Month and the research that is identifying “parkinson’s clusters” – geographic areas with extremely high prevalence for Parkinsons’s disease – Sherri talks about what you should know about environmental factors and other risks as well as the signs of Parkinson’s – some of which may surprise you. Also, Sherri shares a new report from the National Alliance for Caregiving and the Michel J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research – the first-ever study of caregivers of those with Parkinson’s disease. One solution for these Parkinson’s caregivers and all caregivers is a training platform from Trualta that helps caregivers up-skilll and learn techniques that help them on their caregiving journey. They share results of more than 3 million minutes caregivers have spent on their platform and what they are saying.

We also will share how to help your older loved one live out their dream of driving safely with age and we give a sneak peek into our Holiday Gift Guide (which you can watch separately on our YouTube channel) and from our Self Care in 7 Minutes – 7 Lessons from George Bailey, the character in the classic holiday film, “It’s a Wonderful Life” on how life can be challenging but also wonderful. 

(2:43) In CAREGIVER WELLNESS NEWS, Sherri talks about two new studies: the 4th Annual Older Adult Health Survey from Independa; and a sleep science study from UCSF on how our brains age if we do not get good restorative sleep (article and full study). Sherri also offers several resources to help caregivers find respite care during the holidays.

(12:37) Kisa Heyer – CEO of the Dream Foundation – Kisa shares the wonder of this nonprofit that focuses on end-of-life dreams and how you can help make them happen for your loved one and for others.

(30:50) For WELL HOME DESIGN NEWS, Sherri talks about December 4-8 which is National Older Driver Safety Week and what are the tips around keeping our older loved ones safe in their cars but also to keep them socially active and not just sitting at home alone. One alternative may be using rideshare and Sherri tells us how the new Caregiver App from Uber Health works to give free rides to older adults. Our 4th Annual Caregiving Club Holiday Gift Guide is here and Sherri shares a sneak peek into our 21 gift ideas for Caregiver Wellness, Older Adult Wellness and Wellness for the Home (you can also watch our gift guide selections on these links on our YouTube channel and check out our previous year’s gift selections).

(40:22) – In our Pop Culture segment, Sherri talks about the last chapter from her “Me Time Monday” book called “Me Time Monday for a Wonderful Life.” She talks about how there are lessons in the classic holiday movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life” and captures 7 lessons from the main character, George Bailey, in our “Self Care in 7 Minutes” video as part of our Me Time Monday Wellness Hacks.

Sherri takes this episode to answer the Top 7 questions from followers of her GoodReads page about her new book. She weaves in the social wellness of friendships and relaxation while sharing her inspiration while writing the book. Questions included:
Q: What is your new book, ME TIME MONDAY, all about? 
Q: What inspired you to write your new book, ME TIME MONDAY?
Q: You say you write your books for family caregivers but ME TIME MONDAY seems like a book that could benefit any adult?
Q: You say ME TIME MONDAY will help readers “Marie Kondo” their lives – can you explain?
Q: You talk a lot of about microflows or “baby steps” as a key part of ME TIME MONDAY – how does that work?  
Q: What is the magic behind Monday in ME TIME MONDAY?
Q: You also talk about how the book is based on neuroscience coming together with nature – tell me more about 
that?

                <![CDATA[Host Sherri Snelling celebrates October National Active Aging and Aging in Place Weeks by talking to two experts using innovative solutions to help older adults to be lifelong learners and gain social health through a new learning platform and how to transform our homes into “forever homes” through universal design. 

She first talks to Lawrence Kosick, Co-Founder of Get Set Up, about how an online learning platform keeps older adults emotionally healthy but also provides skills for encore careers. 

Then for our Well Home Design News, Sherri talks to national aging in place expert, Rosemarie Rossetti, designer of the Universal Design Living Lab – which happens to be her home in Ohio! Rosemarie’s story is very poignant regarding how a terrible accident led her on a journey to adapt our homes to make it work for whatever physical challenges we may have. 

In Caregiver Wellness News, Sherri also touches on October Emotional Health Month and how emotional health is different from mental health. She also talks about what employers are doing to support mental and emotional health in the workplace and a note on finding resiliency and longevity in the life story and recent passing of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II. And, we are thinking pink as Sherri acknowledges October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

Finally, as always, we end our episode with our Me Time Monday Wellness Hack that recognizes October 13 which is both World Vision Day and National Train Your Brain Day. Our Me Time Monday wellness hack is on how our brains see colors and how chromatherapy – based on color – is another tool for better wellness.]]>

And June 21 is the Longest Day of the Year where we bring you the latest headlines in Alzheimer’s news.

For Pop Culture, June 21 is also the day we commemorate World Music Day. And since June 25 is Global Beatles Day and June is International Surf Music Month Sherri created her playlists of favorite Beatles and Beach Boys tunes with family caregivers in mind. 

To end the podcast our Me Time Monday Wellness Hack is on the therapeutic power of music – how it helps us sleep, enjoy our food, be more energetic and bring back memories especially for those with Alzheimer’s.

                <![CDATA[We’re launching this episode on February 14 – Valentine’s Day – so it’s a perfect time to look at the special caregiving role of spouses and partners. This episode also celebrates National Caregiver Day on February 18 and the ways we can practice more self-care at any time but especially when caregiving and in our home living environments. 
In this episode we talk to Dr. Jessica Zitter, a hospice and critical care doctor who is also a documentary filmmaker. She talks to us about her new film, “Caregiver: A Love Story” which is a poignant picture of what spouses go through when their partner is diagnosed with a terminal illness. We learn about what palliative care is and how to prepare for loss of a loved one.
Sherri also provides Caregiver Wellness information specifically for spouses and partners who tend to take on more physical caregiving tasks themselves that can impact their health over time. And since “love” is the theme for this episode, Sherri shares in Pop Culture some of the celebrity caregiving love stories of people she has interviewed on TV and for articles including:  lifestyle guru B. Smith and her husband Dan Gasby, Kim Campbell wife of country music star Glen Campbell, and Sylvia Mackey, wife of NFL Super Bowl star of the 60s and 70s “No. 88” former Baltimore Colt, John Mackey. She also highlights her favorite caregiving love story movies. For Well Home Design, Sherri talks about how to create Sanctuary Spaces in our homes for much-needed escapes for caregivers.
As always, the episode ends with Sherri’s Me Time Monday Wellness Hack explaining the color psychology and scientific studies behind pink colors, pink clouds, living with rose-colored glasses and looking for silver linings.]]>

On this episode we feature our interview with Matt Paxton, star of “Legacy List with Matt Paxton” on PBS-TV and talk about his upcoming book, “Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff”.

Sherri also provides Caregiver Wellness and Well Home Design insights into the science of hugs to boost our physical and emotional health, the latest trends in physical fitness for those over 50 from Peloton, Nike and two start-up companies: Spiro 100 and Vitality Society. Speaking of hugs, Sherri also shares her pop culture news on hugs from iconic TV shows to popular movies, how Volkswagen sparked healthy fun around the globe and two books for organizing your home for emotional wellness.
As always, the episode ends with Sherri’s Me Time Monday Wellness Hack explaining how the program works using baby steps, habit-stacking, the science of Monday and color psychology to practice health in body, mind and soul all year long.]]>

                <![CDATA[Welcome to Season 2 of our podcast! We’re excited to kick off new episodes of our podcast with amazing guests and more great information about caregiver wellness and well home design.
For 2022, Caregiving Club has chosen a theme of “The Year of Living Colorfully.” This theme connects to the 7 elements of our Me Time Monday Wellness Edit and as always we have another wellness hack at the end of our podcast episodes with this episode focused on the 7 Yellow Brick Roads to Happiness.
We also have two great guests on this episode:
1.	Since we’re talking about happy new year and creating happiness in life – author and clinical psychologist, Joan Neehall, PhD is here to talk about her new book, “Happy Is the New Healthy”.  Joan shares insights from her book including: time affluence and how to use it for caregiver self-care; how to bookend your day with happiness, the Matthew Effect, how to avoid the social media scorecard and how happiness is about what we manufacture not about what we acquire. 
2.	Our second guest is a national expert on financial wellness and since January is Financial Wellness Month we could not think of anyone better than Cindy Hounsell of WISER (Women’s Institute for a Secure Retirement) to tell us how we can achieve wellness in our financial lives. Cindy also talks about a new tool from WISER for caregivers called the Caregiver Financial Hub – you won’t want to miss this important information.

Caregiving Club On Air podcast host, Sherri Snelling, also reports on Caregiver Wellness News including: Gallup’s Annual Survey on Global Happiness, the U-Curve of Happiness research, the merger of Headspace and Ginger to form a $3 billion mental health company, the Viagra-Alzheimer’s connection, and the Blue Zones of Happiness book ending with some pop culture happiness news. She also reports on the latest in Well Home Design news and costs of care at home for Financial Wellness Month as well as the 2022 Home Design Trends that make sense for caregivers and older adults.]]>
