“You’re Middle-Aged and Think You Might Have Alzheimer’s…Wait, What?”
In this candid and eye-opening episode of GutPunched: Alzheimer’s & Caregivers, host Jeff Edwards explores a surprising and often unspoken topic—early signs of Alzheimer’s appearing in middle age. With his usual blend of honesty, heart, and a dash of musical nostalgia (including a nod to the Bee Gees' “First of May”), Jeff kicks off May by revisiting the show’s growing list of essential caregiver rules—introducing a new one about creating a “Help Signal” to ease loved ones into accepting outside assistance.

Listeners are also treated to an insightful conversation with Tara Jean-Baptiste, RN, Director of Care Management at Heart, Body & Mind Home Care. Tara brings deep expertise and compassion as she discusses the future of caregiving, person-centered care, and the importance of supporting caregivers through education and community. Featuring a newly named harmonica player, “The Jammer,” this episode is both informative and soulful—offering real talk, real tools, and real support for those on the caregiving journey.
