Jim describes shock at diagnosis, explains that Parkinson’s may shorten lifespan slightly but complications often cause death, and credits twice-weekly Power for Parkinson’s classes with slowing progression through symptom-specific exercise, improving balance and energy, and boosting mood; he notes music helps movement. He advises newly diagnosed people not to hide the disease and to seek support. Roth also interviews lead instructor Lauren Lewis, recruited by co-founders Nina Moser and Susan Stahl, who now teaches only Parkinson’s-focused fitness. She explains using props, seated and standing exercises, repetition, neuroplasticity, and forced exertion, and directs listeners to powerforparkinsons.org, the YouTube channel, and info@powerforparkinsons.org. 00:00 Season 8 Welcome 00:41 Meet Jim Kreisel 01:50 Parkinsons Diagnosis 03:23 Power For Parkinsons 05:00 Exercise And Mood 05:24 Music And Movement 05:48 Advice And Benefits 07:03 New Drug Talk 09:41 Meet Lauren Lewis 10:27 Why She Joined 12:51 Parkinsons Exercises 15:53 Neuroplasticity Science 17:08 Research And Exertion 18:34 Videos And Contact 20:33 Closing And Supporters New FAN MAIL features TXT & Voice Mial Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1974255/support] Open Forum in The Villages, Florida is Produced & Directed by Mike Roth A new episode will be released most Fridays at 9 AM Direct all questions and comments to mike@rothvoice.com If you know a Villager who should appear on the show, please contact us at:  mike@rothvoice.com

Dr. Steven Katz on Seniors and Smiles - audio

Send us FAN MAIL text, include your cell# for a reply [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1974255/fan_mail/new] Senior Dental Health and Root Canals with Endodontist Dr. Steven Katz This podcast is available as an audio version only. Host Mike Roth opens Season 8 of Villages Vitality Life: Senior Life Unscripted and interviews Dr. Steven Katz, DDS, MS, an endodontist in private practice in Beachwood, Ohio, adjunct professor at West Virginia University, and immediate past President of the American Association of Endodontists. Katz explains how seniors’ oral health needs change with age due to narrowing root canals, reduced dexterity, and medication side effects like dry mouth or gum inflammation, and discusses how visit frequency depends on individual risk (often twice yearly, more with gum disease). He contrasts routine vs deep cleanings, emphasizes keeping natural teeth for function, health, and social confidence, and notes implants still require thorough maintenance and can fail. Katz advises daily brushing and flossing (typically once daily), using electric toothbrushes if needed, and seeking prompt care for sensitivity, swelling, or pain; he also discusses resorption, the oral-systemic health connection, modern one-visit pain-free root canals, typical cost ranges, and resources like aae.org and SaveYourTooth.com. 00:00 Season Eight Kickoff 00:41 Meet Dr Steven Katz 01:50 Seniors Teeth Changes 03:39 Dental Visit Frequency 04:43 Cleaning Versus Deep Cleaning 06:00 Why Keep Natural Teeth 07:32 Implants Reality Check 09:29 Medicare And Insurance 11:00 Alzheimers Tip Break 12:36 Daily Habits And Tools 15:38 Flossing Questions 17:08 Oral Health Body Health 19:02 Resorption Case Study 20:57 Evidence And Studies 22:44 Back To The Dentist 24:00 Root Canal Visits Costs 25:29 Contact Info And Wrap 26:09 Supporters And Signoff New FAN MAIL features TXT & Voice Mial Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1974255/support] Open Forum in The Villages, Florida is Produced & Directed by Mike Roth A new episode will be released most Fridays at 9 AM Direct all questions and comments to mike@rothvoice.com If you know a Villager who should appear on the show, please contact us at:  mike@rothvoice.com  New FAN MAIL features TXT & Voice Mial Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1974255/support] Open Forum in The Villages, Florida is Produced & Directed by Mike Roth A new episode will be released most Fridays at 9 AM Direct all questions and comments to mike@rothvoice.com If you know a Villager who should appear on the show, please contact us at:  mike@rothvoice.com
