Sometimes the most important thing we can learn is that we don't know what we don't know. Or, as host Jeff Edwards puts it a little more simply: “You Don't Know Nuttin'.”

In Episode 119 of GutPunched: Alzheimer's and Caregivers, Jeff sits down with longtime friend Peggy Sealfon, a board-certified health coach, award-winning author, educator and entrepreneur who, in her late 70s, is still learning and currently pursuing her doctorate in Natural Medicine.

Their conversation explores some thought-provoking territory surrounding healthy aging, regenerative medicine, the mind-body connection and caregiver health.

They also tackle an especially important question for families facing Alzheimer's and dementia: Is there room for hope? But hope and hype aren't the same thing.

With miracle cures, anti-aging promises, and wellness claims seemingly everywhere, Jeff asks Peggy how caregivers can separate legitimate science and worthwhile possibilities from clever marketing. And for the caregiver who is so overwhelmed that taking care of themselves feels like just one more thing on an impossible to-do list, where do they even begin?

Plus, Dr. John Huffaker joins Jeff for another edition of What's New with Alzheimer's, answering this week's question: What is the blood-brain barrier, and why is it so important when it comes to medications used to treat Alzheimer's?

It's an episode about curiosity, questioning assumptions, taking care of the caregiver, and remaining open to possibilities, while remembering the GutPunched philosophy:

Hope Without Hype.

Because sometimes the first step toward learning something new is admitting...

You Don't Know What You Don't Know.
Or Maybe... You Don't Know Nuttin'.....
