Gut Punched: Alzheimer’s & Caregivers

A New App for Early-Stage Dementia + How Music Soothes Depression


Listen Later

Host Jeff Edwards brings a quick-hit, high-impact episode this week on GutPunched: Alzheimer’s & Caregivers. After deciding to shorten a few upcoming episodes for a bit of recharging time, Jeff still delivers valuable insights for caregivers and those affected by Alzheimer’s.

In this episode, Jeff spotlights the Alzheimer’s Association’s new app, My ALZ Journey—a powerful, user-friendly mobile resource designed specifically to support individuals living with early-stage dementia. Learn how this app can provide practical help and support anytime, anywhere.

Then, Jeff turns to one of his favorite topics: the healing power of music. Discover how music can help soothe depression in dementia patients, offering emotional relief and connection when words may fail.

As always, Jeff reminds listeners of the core principles of caregiving:

  1. Take care of yourself first.

  2. Don’t go it alone—seek support.

  3. Make and use your help lists.

  4. Create a “help signal” for your loved one.

    Whether you’re a seasoned caregiver or just starting your journey, this episode is packed with accessible tools and heartfelt encouragement.
