GUT PUNCHED: ALZHEIMER’S & CAREGIVERS

Gut Punched: EP 51 Stem Cells and Lots of Caregiving Information

Play

Welcome back to GutPunched: Alzheimer’s and Caregivers, where we don’t sugarcoat the challenges of caregiving—but we do walk through them together.

In this episode, host Jeff Edwards starts with a check-in: Are you remembering the caregiver rules? Are you making those lists, seeking support, and taking care of you? Because, as always, Rule #1 stands strong—you can’t care for someone else if you’re not caring for yourself first.

Whether you’ve been listening from the beginning or just joining in, Jeff revisits the three simple but vital guidelines that keep caregivers grounded, connected, and sane:

  1. Take care of yourself—because your well-being is essential to your loved one’s.

  2. Don’t go it alone—support groups, friends, and family are your lifeline.

  3. Make a list—and use it. You’ll be surprised what happens when you ask for help.

Then we move into something hopeful: an exploration of how stem cell treatment may offer new promise in improving Alzheimer’s symptoms. It’s a developing field—but one that’s worth paying attention to.

We also hear from Morgan Van Dyke of Assisting Hands, who shares a wealth of practical caregiving insights—especially helpful for those navigating the early stages of Alzheimer’s. From small adjustments to bigger-picture planning, Morgan’s advice is something every caregiver will want to jot down.

So take a breath. Grab something to write with. And let’s dive in—because information is power, and you don’t have to face this journey alone.
