Awaken Hope with Lisa Skinner on Risk factors for Alzheimers

Lisa Skinner Behavioral Specialist & Alzheimer's Expert Author Lisa Skinner is a behavioral specialist with expertise in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia. In her 30+year career working with family members and caregivers, Lisa has taught them how to successfully navigate the many challenges that accompany this heartbreaking disease. Lisa is both a Certified Dementia Practitioner and a Certified Dementia Care Trainer through the Alzheimer’s Association. Along with being a Certified Dementia Program Director, Lisa holds a degree in Human Behavior. Do you know that, We are in the midst of a global crisis that most of us are not even aware of? Maybe because… It’s not in our faces, in the news, or on the internet every single day, but it’s real and it’s out there, just like the proverbial “Elephant in the Room”. It’s larger than life. It’s staring at us all right in our faces, and it’s not going away anytime soon. And it can strike anyone of us at any time…We are talking about Alzheimer’s disease. The fact is that it has become a serious global crisis and is expected to worsen if a treatment or cure is not found. For 30 years, Lisa Skinner has been working to turn this quiet crisis into a rallying call for action. She is not a distant expert. She is a caregiver, a witness, and a translator between families and the systems that serve them. Her mission is to connect with audiences in a way that moves hearts and sparks real, practical action. - The problem is staggering and growing. By 2025, the number of people expected to develop dementia worldwide will triple from today. That means more families will be facing uncertainty, fear, and impossible decisions with limited guidance. - What motivates Lisa are the faces of families she has walked beside for three decades; a parent who forgets their adult child’s name; a caregiver burning out from exhaustive, endless shifts; a family planning for futures when the present feels overwhelming. - Lisa’s work is the convergence of compassion and clarity, translating complex medical realities into actionable steps for families, workplaces, and communities. She has learned what families need most trustworthy information, practical planning tools, and a champion who will stand with them when the system doesn’t.  * 2 Best selling books * International TEDx Speaker * International Conference Speaker * Over 400 Media Interviews * Host of a top 10% International Podcast and TV Show " Truth, Lies & Alzheimer's show" Website: https://www.dementiaawarenessspeaker.com [https://www.dementiaawarenessspeaker.com/]

But I’ve been skeptical, because we saw this movie during the BidenHarris years: rosy numbers that later turned out to be fantasy.” Turning Up the Heat on Cuba Raúl Castro’s indictment and the Trump administration’s new sanctions have intensified economic pressure on Cuba, prompting foreign companies to withdraw and cutting off U.S. dealings with the state oil company. The measures further strain an economy already weakened by the collapse of subsidized Venezuelan oil after Nicolás Maduro’s arrest. Critics highlight GAESA’s dominant military run control over much of the economy, framing the regime as corrupt and authoritarian.  👟 TIME TO END TEEN TAKEOVERS Violent teen flashmob incidents have been reported in several U.S. cities, with groups organizing on social media and overwhelming public spaces. Recent cases range from property destruction in Northern Virginia to large disturbances in Tampa, Chicago, and Columbus. Commentary in your excerpt argues that today’s teens lack discipline and calls for stronger enforcement measures, including using video evidence to identify offenders, holding parents accountable, and imposing curfews or mall restrictions.  🎭 ENDLESS ENTERTAINMENT ON THE POLITICAL SCENE Several Democratic candidates are facing scrutiny: Maine’s Graham Platner has been accused of concealing a Nazi themed tattoo, inflating business credentials, and facing multiple misconduct allegations, while Texas legislator James Talarico is being criticized by opponents for presenting himself as a moderate despite past positions on gender affirming care for minors, religion related comments, and immigration rhetoric. Separately, Papa Johns announced plans to close roughly 300 stores, citing shrinking consumer budgets and rising operating costs. 💌 FAN MAIL OF THE WEEK 🦟 SPECIAL INTEREST REPORT: MALARIA MAKING A COMEBACK? Malaria, once eliminated in the U.S., now sees about 2,000 reported cases each year, almost all linked to travelers who return infected. Local transmission can occur when a mosquito bites an infected traveler and then bites someone else, allowing the parasite to spread. Symptoms typically include fever, chills, and headaches, and the disease remains a major global killer, with more than 600,000 deaths in 2024, mostly in Africa. The CDC advises reducing mosquito populations through spraying and using repellant during warm weather evenings to limit risk. ❤️ Let’s Work Together Let’s consciously get along with our neighbors and reduce the violence and discord in our wonderful country.
