Building a resilient decade starts with this one shift.

Dr. Esra Shermadou shares the essential mindset shift for building a resilient brain and body over the next decade.

Motivation is unreliable. Resilience is built on your "Why." Commit to just 15 minutes today. Listen to your body, but show up for your future self.

Financial Warning Signs

Alzheimer's disease often appears first in financial decisions years before diagnosis. Missed payments, unusual purchases, or delayed decisions may signal early cognitive changes affecting judgment and money management. Read more or check the LINK IN BIO

Want to live independently at 80? Start doing this now.

In this clip from the podcast, Dr. Esra Shermadou shares a powerful little reminder everyone needs to hear: You can build muscle at any age. Whether you are 40, 60, or 80, your body is waiting for the signal to get stronger.

Muscle is a "use it or lose it" asset that directly impacts your quality of life and brain health. It is never too late to start. Even small movements today build the "buffer" you'll need tomorrow.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start strength training, this is it.

🧠 💜 HB 2202 passed unanimously today at the AZ Senate Appropriations Committee Hearing, and I had the privilege of being part of this effort.

This bill supports telementoring programs in Alzheimer's and related diseases bringing high-quality, accessible training directly to primary care providers so more people can be recognized earlier and receive the right care at the right time.

We are breaking the cycle of limited clinical training -> limited skills -> limited care in a cost-effective way that avoids having to build new clinics and train more specialists.

Deep gratitude to Representative Dr. Selina Bliss (https://www.linkedin.com/in/selina-bliss/)
for championing this bill and seeing it through, and to Tory Roberg (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tory-roberg/)

and the Alzheimer's Association Desert Southwest Chapter https://www.linkedin.com/company/alzheimers-association-desert-southwest-chapter/) for their advocacy, partnership, and unwavering commitment to this community. 🧠 💜

This is how change happens together.

In this week’s episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Esra Shermadou, a board-certified Family and Obesity Medicine physician who is redefining what "wellness" looks like through her practice, Sakinah Health.

Dr. Esra’s perspective is deeply personal. After navigating a cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy at just 21 years old, she didn’t just recover, she rebuilt. That journey sparked a lifelong passion for strength training, not for aesthetics, but for survival and long-term vitality.

We also explore the Direct Primary Care model—a way of practicing medicine that allows us to slow down, listen, and treat the whole person rather than just the symptoms.

Even without words, music can speak volumes.

Holding a hand, listening to a song that means something, maybe your first dance at your wedding, or a lullaby your mom sang, can create a deep, intimate connection that words often can’t. These moments matter. They remind us that love isn’t about grand gestures, it’s about presence, care, and connection.

Families often share the joy and peace these simple acts bring, long after their loved one has passed. It’s proof that even small, intentional moments can make a lasting impact.Watch the full video to learn how music can transform caregiving and create lasting memories

The person is still in there.

It’s easy to assume that a "flat" expression in advanced Alzheimer's means nothing is happening internally. But Dr. Maribeth Gallagher reminds us that our loved ones are still present, waiting for us to reach in and connect.

Music can be a bridge that affirms their personhood and lets them know they are seen, heard, and valued.

Dr. Gallagher shares her decades of experience in Alzheimer’s care, revealing how music reaches people when words no longer can, awakening presence and evoking memories in the most advanced stages of illness.

This isn't just an episode about music; it’s about what remains when so much is lost and the powerful lessons the end of life can teach us about how to live.

If you’re noticing changes in memory, focus, or thinking, getting answers isn’t always easy.

Appointments with memory specialists can take six months, nine months, sometimes even longer to schedule. Sometimes concerns aren’t heard. Sometimes people are told there isn’t much that can be done.

But changes in thinking can happen for many reasons, sleep disruption, stress, medications, mood changes, vitamin deficiencies, cardiovascular health, hormonal shifts, hearing or vision loss, and sometimes early neurodegenerative changes.

At BrainLove, our Brain Tune-Up Initial Evaluation helps uncover what may be contributing and creates a personalized plan for next steps.

Your first visit is right away.

Tired of waiting months to see a memory specialist?

Many people who begin noticing changes in memory or thinking quickly discover an unexpected problem: the wait. Appointments can take six to nine months, or even longer.

For someone worried about their brain and future, that experience can feel incredibly frustrating or even terrifying.

At BrainLove, we created the Brain Tune-Up Initial Evaluation for people and families who want answers sooner rather than later.

Your first visit is right away.

The goal is not simply to test memory, but to take a comprehensive look at how the brain is functioning and develop a personalized action plan.
