Dr. David Sofer and Understanding Arthritis Pain and Management
"I teach people with arthritis to move differently, so they can overcome pain and get back to doing the things they love."
My guest is Dr. David Sofer. And this is a quote from his website, www.arthritishelp.info.
In our conversation, he states that being diagnosed with arthritis is not a call to the wheelchair and chronic pain. Yes, arthritis is a chronic condition possibly giving us chronic pain. But 50% of those diagnosed with arthritis will not feel the pain or discomfort of this disease.
He teaches the principles of movement, which breaks down the fundamentals of how we move. That helps us understand how to live with arthritis.
Dr. Dave talks more about posture as well. As he states in this interview, there is no such thing as good or bad posture. Your body tends toward what is comfortable for you, to get your body to balance over your bones.
And finally, we talk about how patients are diagnosed with arthritis, and how it is wearing and irregularity in your joints.
His website is full of free tutorials and videos to help you help yourself understand and manage the pain of arthritis.
Dr. Dave developed his unique method for relieving arthritis pain by combining his decades of clinical practice as a physical therapist and his background as a champion gymnast and springboard diver. Refining this method over thousands of treatments for arthritis patients Dr. Dave inspires and empowers them to overcome their limitations and regain the ability to do the things they love.
He has shown that everyone has the ability to improve no matter their age, diagnosis, or physical ability. With the right guidance, understanding, and commitment you have the ability to feel better.

Choose Home Care Act of 2021
The Choose Home Care Act of 2021, introduced by Senators Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Todd Young (R-IN), aims to give more seniors the option to receive care at home for 30 days after a hospitalization, rather than going to a skilled nursing facility or other transitional settings.
The legislation would open the door to a variety of home-based services, including skilled nursing, therapy, primary care, personal care, RPM, telehealth, meals, home adaptations and non-emergent transportation.
My guest is Joe Russell, Executive Director at Ohio Council for Home Care and Hospice.
Here's how you can take action to help this Act move forward.
And here's a link to helpful tips to get your voice heard by your representatives.

Online Scammers and Spammers
Ed Brazee, Jill Spencer, and Chris Toy from Boomer Tech Adventures are back as my guests on this episode.
BoomerTECH Adventures is all about serving boomers and seniors who want to feel competent and confident in their online skills while using their personal technology devices.
Spamming is kind of a benign form of scamming. It's not necessarily evil, but it certainly does take resources and time. Be sure to keep your personal information offline because that's how the spammers find you. Plus, if you have a digital assistant like Siri or Amazon's system, Alexa or Google, they are always listening. That can actually result in ads that will kind of target you.
Be careful if you receive an email that may like it's from a known source or an unknown source. If it has a link in the email and it asks you to click on that link from inside the email, you want to avoid that. What's happening is that the hacker or scammer is directing you to go to a place that they have designated.
Similar to that is, more and more, you'll see your social media someone who you know, you're friends with, and you get a message from this friend asking you to be their friend, but you're already their friend. Don't do anything with that request.
A recent survey showed that 19% of people between 50 and 64 have explored online dating,
And a lot of people are looking for companionship. They're recent widows, widowers, or divorced and would really like to have someone in their life. But beware. These scammers are charming, they're persistent, persuasive, and they play on your emotions, especially guilt. If there's any request for money, end the conversation right there.
The Amazon brushing scam. Brushing is a scam in which third-party Amazon vendors send people products they never actually bought. While this may seem an odd scam at first, it is all to do with exploiting Amazon's search ranking system. This then pushes their items up their search rankings and encourages more genuine purchases.
When it's all said and done, trust your intuition, trust your hunch. If it doesn't feel right, don't go there, don't do it.

Patti Davis, Ronald Reagan’s Daughter, Offers Caregiver Advice
My guest is Patti Davis, the daughter of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan.
When Patti's father announced his Alzheimer’s diagnosis in an address to the American public in 1994, the world had not yet begun speaking about this cruel, mysterious disease.
Empowered by all she learned from caring for her father―about the nature of the illness, but also about the loss of a parent―Davis founded a support group for the family members and friends of Alzheimer’s patients. Along with a medically trained co-facilitator, she met with hundreds of exhausted and devastated attendees to talk through their pain and confusion.
Her book, Floating in the Deep End: How Caregivers can See Beyond Alzheimer's, discusses her experiences to provide her unique experience of battling Alzheimer’s.

Heart Health Advice from Dr. Philip Ovadia - Stay Off My Operating Table
Most diet books teach you to set short-term weight loss goals. These “solutions” do a better job of lightening your wallet than lightening you.
As a heart surgeon who used to be morbidly obese, Dr. Philip Ovadia has seen firsthand the failures of mainstream diets and medicine. He realized that what helped him lose over 100 pounds was the same solution that could have prevented most of the thousands of open heart surgeries he has performed—metabolic health.
In Stay off My Operating Table, Dr. Ovadia shares the complete metabolic health system to prevent disease and optimize your health, a system that the diet and drug industries don’t want you to know about. Unlike quick-fix, “7-day,” radical diets, Dr. Ovadia’s approach is a sustainable, long-term solution that could work for you.
Whether you’ve suffered from chronic diseases or want to prevent them decades from now, Stay off My Operating Table could help you take back control of your health.

Elder Law Attorney Maggie Kimmel
Elder law is an area of legal practice that specializes on issues that affect the aging population. The purpose of elder law planning is to prepare the elderly person for financial freedom and autonomy through proper financial planning and long-term care options.
With me on this episode is my new friend Maggie Kimmel. an attorney with AlerStallings.
As she states...AlerStallings offers continued support through all seasons of life to make sure
our clients’ estate plans are up to date and reflect their current wishes. My
grandparents came to this firm eight years ago to craft their own estate plan.

The Creative Care Imagination Kit with Dr. Anne Basting
My guest is Anne Basting, PhD, who is a leader in transforming aging and eldercare. I have her on this podcast to talk about her Creative Care Imagination Kit.
Based on Dr. Basting’s twenty-five years of research, this “imagination kit” makes it easy for families, friends, and caregivers to make meaningful connections with elders and others dealing with physical, cognitive, or emotional challenges, including memory loss.
The Creative Care Imagination Kit sparks conversation and encourages active listening, allowing all ages to freely share ideas and stories without worrying about getting the details “correct.”
Dr. Basting’s years of research have shown that these practices stimulate the brain and awaken the imagination, adding wonder and awe not only to the daily lives of those with dementia but to all family members, and providing them with a means of connection and communication.

My guest is author Marilyn Peterson Haus.
Her book, Half of a Whole, explores the intimate bond between a twin brother and sister, the cruel consequences that occur when one of them becomes mentally ill, and the courage required to break away when love is not enough.
Just when Marilyn thought she had escaped life as the child of born-again farmers on the Minnesota plains, her twin brother’s manic violence catapults her back to the fissures of her childhood. Half of a Whole is the haunting chronicle of her twin’s encroaching mental illness, her mother’s blatant favoritism, and the stultifying strictures of her family’s religious zealotry. Sentence by sentence, she battles to break free from a painful past and live life on her own terms.

Dirty Old Man Syndrome
Elizabeth Marcus is my guest. She is the author of Don't Say a Word: A Daughter's Two Cents.
The book is about Elizabeth's parents, Edna and Leo, a perpetually warring, tyrannical pair in their 80s. They begin wintering In Mexico, where they abandon their usual prudence to embrace adventure and a bevy of sketchy new friends.
Soon, Edna adopts a pair of shyster builders whom she trusts over her own architect-daughter Elizabeth, and farcical house results. Blithely indifferent to the calamities that result, the pair refuse all help from their too-compliant only child.
Though unique in its loony details, Don’t Say A Word! will resonate with beleaguered adult-children everywhere who will recognize the special misery of watching their parents become taken over by dementia.

When Caregiving Calls with Author Aaron Blight
Caring for a parent, spouse, or relative who cannot care for themselves due to age, infirmity, or illness is one of the noblest human activities. It's also one of the most stressful, posing challenges that can be painful, confusing, frustrating, and deeply rewarding-sometimes all at once. When Caregiving Calls is an invitation to a deep conversation about caregiving and its meaning for you.
Aaron Blight has lived the caregiving experience many ways-as a family caregiver for a mother-in-law struggling with brain cancer as it stole her mental clarity and ultimately her life; as the owner of a home care company that supported thousands of families living their own versions of the same journey; and as a researcher, lecturer, and consultant traveling the world to learn from family caregivers and their professional helpers.

I talk with Trudy Wilson, Director of Prime Time Office on Aging. Prime Time is a senior center located in Jefferson County (OH), serving people who are 60 years and older.
Prime Time is a division of Trinity Health System and is part of the larger Catholic health initiatives, known as Common Spirit Health. Prime Time is only one of two senior centers that are in that system that is affiliated with the local hospital.
Prime Time offers a wealth of activities and services to keep you active and healthy! Whether it be our health screenings, Bible studies, crafts, computer classes, garden group, or just getting together for a good ol' game of bocce, we are always looking for new and exciting ways to help our members live life to the fullest.

Author Lee Gutkind - My Last Eight Thousand Days
I interview Lee Gutkind, author of My Last Eight Thousand Days. This is his 17th book, and I couldn't put it down.
"This revealing, candid, and vivid portrait of one man’s view of aging written by the man who played a crucial role in establishing literary, narrative nonfiction in the marketplace and in the academy, examines male aging in a way we’ve not seen before."
In My Last Eight Thousand Days, Gutkind turns his notepad and tape recorder inward, taking his skills as an immersion journalist to perform a deep dive on himself. Here, he offers a memoir of his life as a journalist, editor, husband, father, and Pittsburgh native, recounting not only his many triumphs, but also exposing his missteps and challenges.
You can purchase his book by going to his website,

Keep It All In Perspective
We are smack in the middle of summer 2020 and there's a lot going on.
Well, there's also a lot that isn't going on or happening because of the virus.
Some of us are working from home. Some of us are out of work. Vacations have been canceled, postponed, or modified.
We've got politics, politics, and more politics. Breaking news, fake news. With an election looming right around the corner, social unrest, protesting, rioting, racism, COVID-19. I'll say COVID-19 again.
A challenge to health care system issues and concerns about our children returning to school. Smoldering heat in some parts of the country, which makes wearing these masks particularly challenging.
And we're being encouraged to refrain from or limit gatherings. That means different things to different people.
But one thing I think we can all agree on, there's a lot going on. And with so much going on, I think it's real easy to lose perspective. when I say it's easy to lose perspective.
Don't worry. I am not going to t…

Be Brave and Get The Medical Help You Need As You Get Older
Age may bring wisdom but it also brings a greater chance of health problems, and some health problems might require surgery to make you better.
We have a great conversation with Capital Health Care Network's Delores Moore, or as everyone likes to call her, Ms. D.
She is an administrative assistant, who will soon be celebrating her 85th birthday. She recently had a knee replacement surgery. She knew she needed it done, and with the strong encouragement of her eldest daughter, she had it done, and soon will be taking care of her other knee.
If you or someone you love is elderly and needs surgery, there is good news: Health care, in general, is doing a much better job of caring for the elderly, and that means better outcomes after surgery.
The older patient deserves the same quality of care and the same access to information needed to make health care decisions as younger patients. That means, first and foremost, not making surgery decisions based solely on one factor: chronological a…

The Importance of Staying Connected During COVID-19
Our topic today is going to be focused on the importance of staying connected during COVID-19. And I'm really speaking more to people who have family members in long-term care settings like nursing homes or assisted living. But I think there's value here for all of us. Even if you are not in one of those settings or you don't have a family member or a loved one in one of those settings.
Here in Ohio, as in most states, visitation has been prohibited in nursing homes. Now, our Governor just signed a new law, which is going to take effect soon, that will allow visitation, outdoor visitation for assisted living communities. But the nursing homes on that front, they're still saying no to visitation. And what we know as health care providers is that there is a cost associated with this stance. A cost to our residents.
And I understand, we all understand why it has to be done. Because we're trying to protect a very vulnerable population. But we also believe that quality of life matters and…
