Gut Punched: EP 76 Game-Changing Breakthroughs & Raw Caregiver Truths

Welcome back, caregivers, fighters, and listeners walking this tough road with love and grit. In Episode 76, host Jeff Edwards dives headfirst into the gut-wrenching yet vital world of Alzheimer’s and caregiving, where the emotional toll is real, but so is the power of community, knowledge, and self-care.

💥 This week’s episode hits hard and informs even harder with three must-know articles making waves in the Alzheimer’s world:

• The FDA has cleared the first-ever blood test for Alzheimer’s screening in primary care—what this means for earlier diagnosis and better outcomes.

• Why are women at a higher risk of Alzheimer’s? We unpack the science and the implications for future research.

• And a wake-up call: Even light drinking may increase dementia risk. We dig into the new study that challenges old assumptions.

But that’s not all...

🔥 Jeff brings it back to the core tenets of GutPunched, the rules every caregiver needs to survive this relentless journey:

• Take care of YOU first.

• You cannot do this alone.

• Make your lists. Use your lists. Get things done.

• Create help signals that bring dignity and trust into caregiving.

💜 Whether you love caregiving or feel like it’s swallowing you whole, this podcast reminds you: it’s your life, until it’s not. So give it your all, and remember, you are not alone.
