How do health disparities affect African American's?

 

This is another conversation with Dr. Howard, this time on the health disparities the African American community faces. He's passionate about teaching the African American community about brain health. He's put together talks and programs in communities of color and the topic of why blacks don't like to go to the doctor was a natural suggestion from him.

As is normal for us, we start on the topic, but we meander on to other, related topics, then return to the main idea. Why is this a good episode to listen to? Understanding the challenges we all face is the quickest way to make changes. Understanding health disparities, like understanding Alzheimer's,  will allow us to better help our friends and neighbors.

As well as we'd like to think the world is equal, unfortunately, that's not always the case. Rather than feeling like we're unable to help, the mere fact of understanding can go a long way.

Memory Health supplements have undergone clinical trials. They're definitely worth a try.

 

It changes your whole world when a loved one begins to suffer from the effects of memory loss, brain injury, or brain disease. Ed personally experienced this with his mother, who one day had no idea who he was. She was suffering from a form of dementia and it was painful for him to watch her fade away and eventually lose her life to a debilitating brain disease. EdI felt compelled to do something, anything, to help other people avoid watching their loved one suffer. Ed is one of the founders of Memory Health. Their passion is the prevention of suffering and heartache caused by neurodegenerative brain issues.

Memory Health Awarded Three International Treatment Patents

Memory Health has received three treatment patents for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative disease from the United States, United Kingdom, and Ireland.

Four clinical trials have also validated the fact that Memory Health works for not only diseased brains but also healthy brains.

The effectiveness of our premium nootropic has been proven in double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials. The results of these clinical trials showed improvement in memory, cognitive function, mental health, mood, and overall brain health across both segments of healthy and diseased brains.

Neurofeed back in the earlier stages could help plateau the disease.

Louloua Smadi understands the desperation of loving someone with a life limiting cognitive disease. Her brother, Milo, was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at two and a half years of age. Today, he is training to become a professional pastry chef.

Everything began to change when the family met Dr. Lynette Louise. Her integrative approach using neurofeedback and play was the catalyst that helped Milo to thrive and grow. Louloua even used the therapy herself to overcome poor concentration and focus.

Greatly impressed with her own improvements, she was inspired to become a practitioner herself. Her path from client to clinician illustrates the different approaches to healing using neurofeedback and highlights the gap between the research and clinical worlds.

Neurofeedback, like dynamic learning, asks your brain to do things in a new way. This treatment can help stabilize our loved ones, it can help us prevent the onset of the disease, and can really help all of us age well.

Echobox is a fun, easy way to store & share memories.

 

Looking for ways of sharing memories with my Mom was the main reason I started this podcast.  I was searching for better ways to connect with my Mom and all the advice I read wasn't working. Having all the tools I needed but not easily accessed is the problem that today's guests are trying to solve.

Echobox reconnects us with ourselves and our loved ones by sparking memories, kindling, stimulating conversation, and boosting cognitive function. It helps us cope with depression, boredom, anxiety, and grief by providing a simple, fun, and positive activity – adding color and laughter to an afternoon or family visit!

Echobox works by making it easy for you to; list favorite things, add photos and videos to your vault, and even make voice recordings. As you assemble your memory vault, the sights, sounds, flavors, colors, scents, and memories dear to us are easily accessed.

This rich, detailed reflection will one day serve as an irreplaceable tribute to our memory and a treasured gift for those we leave behind. Friends and family will always have this realm to visit, reminisce and rediscover what we loved most about life!
