This week on GutPunched, host Jeff Edwards sits down for a conversation with Dr. Deborah Coe Silver — “Dr. Deb” — from the Neuropsychiatric Research Center.

We talked about Dolly Parton, an informative National Geographic article about billionaires making interesting scientific discoveries about health and living longer, and talked a lot... about music.

Another topic this week may surprise you: memory loss may begin earlier in life than many of us have been led to believe. What does that mean, what should we be paying attention to, and when should changes in memory become a concern?

Then, Dr. John Huffaker returns for another edition of “What’s New With Alzheimer’s.” This week’s listener question deals with something many families may have wondered about but don't know where to begin: How do you donate the brain of a loved one to science?

Jeff also takes a moment to thank listeners for the wonderful response to “I Still Choose You” and encourages everyone to share it with someone who might connect with its message.

It’s another episode built around real conversations, useful information, and hope without hype for caregivers and the people who love them.

Gut Punched: Alzheimer’s and Caregivers — Real talk. Real help. Real hope.
