In this powerful and heartfelt episode of GutPunched: Alzheimer’s and Caregivers, host Jeff Edwards explores the extraordinary role music plays in the lives of people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia and the caregivers who support them.
Despite cold snaps across the country (and Florida’s version of “cold”), Jeff sets the stage for an engaging and hopeful conversation centered on the healing power of music. Joined by Justin Russo, Director of Programming at Music & Memory and The Institute for Music and Neurologic Function (IMNF), the episode makes a compelling case for why music is far more than entertainment; it’s therapy.
Justin explains how personalized music can spark memories, reduce agitation, improve mood, and reconnect individuals with dementia to their sense of identity. Jeff also shares fascinating facts about music’s impact on the brain and why caregivers should seriously consider incorporating music into daily care routines.
The episode also features another installment of “What’s New in Alzheimer’s” with Dr. John Huffaker, who answers listener-submitted questions and breaks down key developments in Alzheimer’s and dementia care.
As always, Jeff reinforces the podcast’s Five Caregiver Tenets, emphasizing self-care, community support, practical planning, and the emotional realities of caregiving.
The episode closes with heartfelt thanks to sponsors NPRC (Neuropsychiatric Research Center) and Heart, Body, & Mind Home Care for their continued support of caregivers everywhere.
🎧 Whether you’re a caregiver, healthcare professional, or simply someone who loves music, this episode will move you, inform you, and remind you why music truly matters.
