Alzheimer's disease ranks as the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S., marked by a gradual cognitive decline. Dr. Dale Bredesen challenges the notion of its irreversibility in his book, "The End of Alzheimer's Program," presenting an innovative method to prevent and reverse the disease. Drawing on over 20 years of research, Bredesen's approach addresses 36 metabolic factors comprehensively, embracing individualized solutions rooted in evidence-based research. What sets this program apart is its functional strategy, tackling the root causes rather than merely addressing symptoms. By emphasizing prevention and early intervention, it not only offers hope for treating Alzheimer's but also serves as a proactive measure against cognitive decline and age-related health issues.

Tim Ferriss skyrocketed to stardom with his first book The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich back in 2007.  From there he has become respected for his podcast interviews and his work and funding with psychedelics through Johns Hopkins.  He rode the “4-Hour” wave with The 4-Hour Chef and another called 4-Hour Body An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex and Becoming Superhuman.  

The 4-Hour Body is a 500+ page book that combines his personal experience with interviews and experiences with the best in the fields of topics including muscle gain, sleep, injury prevention, sex, nutrition, and longevity.  The book is loaded with pictures, graphs, and diagrams that help illustrate a variety of techniques (exercises, stretches, etc.)  and the results of his anecdotal experiments. 

A lot of what I read back then was fringe science but it has stood up to the critics and much of it is now well-recognized and practiced (although I don’t hear anyone talking about 15-minute female orgasms).  I covered each chapter in notes and highlights worth reading but I’ve compressed that down to 3 things I learned from reading this book that still has an impact on me.

Raising toddlers is a rewarding yet challenging phase of parenting that often leaves caregivers searching for guidance and effective strategies. Toddlers are constantly exploring the world around them, asserting their independence, and developing their personalities. As a parent or caregiver, understanding the unique needs and behaviors of toddlers is essential to provide them with the support and guidance they require during this crucial stage of development.

In this podcast, I’ve compiled a list of practical tips for parenting toddlers. Some are simple (have snacks at the ready on trips), others require some effort (making a balance beam), and yet others are just adulting reminders (make that will).

As an occupational therapist (OT), I meet new and unique people every day who are in some of the toughest moments of their lives.  Physically and mentally their backs are against the wall but they work with me as a way to gain a little independence, address some weaknesses, and to simply become better. 

Every interaction with them is an opportunity to learn something new.  Every moment is as impactful as I let it be. One occurrence is an interesting point or an “a-ha” moment but with time these moments become trends and these trends become lessons I can transfer to the rest of my life.  Here is part 1 of the lessons I’ve learned as an occupational therapist.
