Some episodes inspire me big time and this is one. I loved being in on this interview and I hope you’ll love listening just as much.
Our first guest is the ever so compassionate writer and connoisseur of life, Deborah Shouse, vegan of course, speaking about her experience caring for her mother who had dementia, and her two books dealing with what she calls “the dementia journey.” If you know a caregiver, either someone who works with dementia patients professionally or is caring for a loved one, please direct them to this program and to Deborah and her beautiful, helpful books:
Love in the Land of Dementia: Finding Hope in the Caregiver’s Journey and
Connecting in the Land of Dementia: Creative Activities to Explore Together

We’re then joined by Merrilee Jacobs, producer, and Paul Kennamer, director/producer of the informative and life-shifting plant-based health documentary, Eating You Alive. This unique film interviews not only the “celebrity” docs of the plant-based world, but dozens of practicing physicians from a variety of specialties and from a wide swathe of the country.

Blast from the past! Deborah Shouse shares with us today wonderful ideas for connecting with a loved one who has dementia. Another area many of us are interested in is what is known about prevention of Alzheimer’s and other diseases of cognitive decline. Addressing this on a 2013 episode was Neal Barnard, MD, at the time of the release of his book, Power Foods for the Brain: http://www.unity.fm/episode/MainStreetVegan_062613.
