In this eye-opening episode, host Jeff Edwards dives into the realities of caregiving with honesty, heart, and a touch of humor. Kicking off with reflections from a recent men’s caregiver support meeting, Jeff explores tough, but essential, topics like legal planning, death, grief, and guilt. It’s not “sexy,” but it’s crucial education for anyone on the caregiving journey.

Jeff welcomes Dr. William Justiz of Aqualane Critical Research, a deeply knowledgeable expert in Alzheimer’s care and research. Even Jeff, a seasoned caregiver and podcast host, found himself scribbling down notes. Listeners are guaranteed to walk away with new insights into Alzheimer’s that they probably didn’t know before.
