DR. DELON CANTERBURY, Geriatric Pharmacist: DEPRESCRIBING - Saves Lives and Money

Love Conquers Alz

08/29/22 • 62 min

Don and I had the pleasure of speaking with DR. DELON CANTERBURY, Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacist and Founder of GeriatRX, a Deprescribing Accelerator Program based on the premise that the majority of patients taking 15-18 medications annually are aged over 65, preventable medication errors cost nearly $21 billion dollars annually, and the ongoing inappropriate , HARMFUL, use of medications in the senior population.
Too many Americans are dying from harmful medications and wasting thousands of their hard earned dollars on unnecessary prescriptions. Over 275,000 people die each year due to medication mismanagement. While other American's are wasting over $6,000 per year on unnecessary medications.

GeriatRX is a pharmacist-lead consulting service that identifies that there is a lack of support for caregivers advocating for the elderly who need help in maneuvering a very difficult health care landscape by providing high quality evidence-based medication management for our most vulnerable patients, the elderly.

ASST. ATTY. GENERAL, RICK MOUNTCASTLE: INSPIRATION FOR HULU'S "DOPESICK"/NURSING HOME & CAREGIVER CRUSADER.

Love Conquers Alz

01/31/22 • 71 min

Rick Mountcastle is not only an Assistant Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Virginia and a Retired Federal Prosecutor, he is a bonafide hero. Rick, along with his partner, Randy Ramseyer, led the investigation and prosecution of Purdue Pharma, as well as its CEO, General Counsel, and Chief Medical Officer, in an unprecedented case, that, at the inception of the opioid crisis, held the opioid manufacturer and its top executives criminally and civilly responsible for falsely marketing OxyContin. This case was at the center of Beth Macy's best-selling book, "Dopesick," and the the riveting, IMPORTANT, Hulu miniseries of the same name that premiered in October 2021. Rick is beautifully portrayed by Peter Sarsgaard.
I binged all eight episodes of "Dopesick" which was eyeopening and absolutely horrifying. Showrunner/Executive Producer, Danny Strong, did an amazing job putting faces on the opioid crisis, as well as the crusaders who relentlessly pursued "Big Pharma". (One being our guest, Rick Mountcastle.)
I was already blown away by Rick and Randy's passionate pursuit in taking down Purdue Pharma, but I literally gasped out loud when it was revealed in the last episode that they were going to go after Abbott Laboratories for falsely marketing Depаkote, a drug that is meant to treat epilepsy, and tаrgeting nursing homes to treat agitation associated with Alzheimer's and dementia.
Depakote is the drug responsible for rendering my otherwise healthy mother non ambulatory and incontinent in a matter of seven days.
Rick led the investigation and prosecution of Abbott Labs which resulted in criminal and civil penalties totaling $1.5 Billion (at the time the largest pharmaceutical settlement involving a single drug in U.S. history).
I had to thank him. I did and asked if he might share what he had learned while investigating Abbott. Turns out Abbott Labs are not the only pharma targeting the under-staffed and over-worked nursing homes.
Listen or watch this episode and TAKE NOTES.
And HUGE thanks to my special guest co-host,

LANCE A. SLATTON: Senior Care Influence & Author of The All Home Care Matters Official Family Caregivers' Guide

Love Conquers Alz

05/02/24 • 53 min

Heeeeeeee’s back! And Don and I couldn’t be happier! Our dear friend and “Senior Care Influencer”, Lance A. Slatton is not only a Writer, Author, and Healthcare professional with over 20 years in the healthcare industry...he is a number one class act and all around nice guy! Oh, and he is also the busiest person I have ever met! I thought I was juggling. Nope. Apparently not. ;)

In case you’re not familiar with Lance, here’s just little background on this Care Commander: Lance is a native of Michigan, and the Senior Case Manager at Enriched Life Home Care Services, a leading care provider. His ingenuity and fortitude led to the creation of All Home Care Matters, an informative podcast and YouTube show devoted to helping families, caregivers, and their loved ones navigate long-term care issues. All Home Care Matters was recently the recipient of the Silver Creator Award from Google & YouTube.
Lance also produces and Co-Host’s two additional shows (I know! What are we doing wrong!?): Conscious Caregiving with L & L, co-hosted by Lori La Bey and The Caregiver’s Journal with Denise M. Brown.

If that were not enough, he also writes a monthly column for McKnight’s Home Care News, DailyCaring.com, and AgeBuzz.

Recognizing Lance’s contributions to the industry, he was named a “50 Under 50” honoree by the New York City Journal for 2023 and has been chosen as a Juror for the Academy of Interactive Visual Arts for 2023 and 2024.

And because he apparently has so much spare time on his hands Lance has now authored a new book, “The All Home Care Matters Official Family Caregivers' Guide”, a beacon of wisdom, meant to guide you through the complexities and emotional tides of becoming a caregiver. So, grab a cuppa tea or coffee and find out more about this new endeavor and everything else in the wild world of the inimitable Lance A. Slatton.
And remember - Love is Powerful. Love is Contagious. And Love Conquers Alz.
xoxo Susie

ROBERT PARDI - Chasing Life: Caregiver, Life Coach, Professor, Guest Speaker, Author of "Chasing Life"

Love Conquers Alz

12/09/21 • 73 min

Once in a GREAT while, you read something and the author seems to be speaking directly to your heart. Like an old friend. That's what happened when I read a powerful missive Robert Pardi posted on LinkedIn. After that, I was hooked! I did a deep dive and, OMG, everything he shares about Caregiving and living your best life is incredibly astute and profoundly resonates with me. I am thrilled to have him as our guest and share his beautiful story that led to him being the dynamic leader in the Caregiving community that he is today.
In Episode 48, Don and I spoke with the wildly passionate and perceptive Robert Pardi and found him so engaging, we didn't evening realize the sun had begun to set! Robert, born in NYC, is one of those rare individuals who embraces change and lives what he calls “possibility in action” – taking his desire for transformation and putting it into action daily. He received his MBA from Columbia University and was quickly recruited by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds. Shortly after, his wife Desiree, was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. Unfortunately, she passed 11 years later. After, throwing caution to the wind, Robert leapt from his comfort zone. He changed careers and moved to the same Italian village his great grandfather immigrated from over 100 years ago. He is now a certified life coach, adjunct professor, international guest speaker, and the Author of Chasing Life - The remarkable true story of love, joy, and achievement against all odds.

Whitney B. Glandon; Alzheimer's Doesn't Define Who You Are.

Love Conquers Alz

01/12/20 • 36 min

Whitney B. Glandon is a senior living program director, as well as a versatile New York City based dance artist, instructor, producer, and choreographer. Whitney was literally born into the senior living community and by the age of nine, she was leading movement classes to the seniors at her grandmother’s long term care communities in N.C. In 2009 Whitney founded Tuesdays@4, an innovative intergenerational program with a mission to bring generations - including seniors living with dementia and Alzheimer's - together through various forms of dance, art, poetry, theatre, improvisation and music inspired by stories and personal experiences.

Whitney's latest project, CAUGHT (Between Two Worlds), is a beautiful collaboration between Whitney, Jodie Berman and Martha Brim that came together through their extensive work in the Senior Living/Dementia Alzheimer's and Dance world. CAUGHT Dance Project is bringing awareness to the disease through dance and personal connections.

Whitney brings a refreshing - important - perspective on seniors living with Alzheimer's and dementia. Her dance programs are proof positive that seniors who have a sense of purpose are happier and healthier. And while they may have Alzheimer's, they don't have to, and shouldn't be, defined by their affliction. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast.

Ressel Yu on the Power of Emotional Healing

Love Conquers Alz

04/01/20 • 31 min

Episode 8: After studying Quantum Energy Healing and becoming certified in the Emotion Code and Body Code, RESSEL YU unpacked all her emotional baggage that was created when she was younger and shifted her life from scarcity and fear to abundance and bliss. She got her smile back on her soul. Now her life’s purpose is to help others (especially caregivers) to do the same.
In this episode, Ressel takes host, Susie Singer Carter, through her first-ever healing session. As a SPECIAL BONUS for our listeners, while Ressel performs this session on Susie, anyone listening to this podcast will be receiving the healing as well. Ressel explains that because of a phenomenon called QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT, particles of different origins come together in one container, (be it a room or this podcast), and those particles become one and work in unison.

Ressel Yu is a quantum healer that incorporates the Akashic Records into her practice to heal not only the present, but also the past which in turns changes all future events. Certified in NLP and the Emotion Code, she has helped entrepreneurs, corporations and children release emotional baggage that keep them stuck in the blackhole of despair and fear. She hosts monthly Money Mindset Retreats and Im-Possible Workshops, in which she not only removes the blocks around money, but also teaches her clients how to heal themselves and manifest anything they desire.
