    027 - Geriatrician: Your Parents’ Superhero

    027 - Geriatrician: Your Parents’ Superhero

    A doctor is a doctor is a doctor, right? Not when it comes to a Geriatrician. Dr. Bill Rhoades, Geriatrician at Advocate Health Care, sits down to explain the benefits of having your parent see a Geriatrician rather than a General Practitioner (Internist).
    Have a pad and paper handy because Dr. Rhoades lists 3 reasons to change, what mistakes the middle generation are making AND what are the 2 things your parents can do to stay healthy. And, do you know how much time a Geriatrician allots for appointments with patients (vs. other drs)? You’ll be shocked.
    Listen and then you’ll appreciate why the title Geriatrician and Orchestra Leader are interchangeable.

    025 - Chefs For Seniors

    Boy, the tables have surely turned. Your parents used to nag you to make sure you’re eating (and well). Now you’re noticing your aging parents don’t have a lot of food in the kitchen and the food they do have is not that healthy. Time to call in the Calvary. Listen to my guest, Lisa, owner of Chefs for Seniors talk about all the benefits of hiring a chef for your parent. The professionally trained chefs customize menus, shop for the food, bring in their own equipment, cook, socialize AND clean up. Wonder if they’ll do this for “non seniors”? Asking for a friend.

    024 - Training Your Parent To Exercise

    We’re all familiar with, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”. But, how about “I’ve fallen and I CAN get up”. My guest, Jim, is a personal trainer who specializes in exercising with senior citizens (even into their 90’s). This was an eye opening conversation. Jim arms us with all the physiological and emotional benefits to help get our parents up and moving – at ANY age.   And, yes, he even works with seniors on how to properly get up off the ground if they’ve fallen. Listen, then call your parents and encourage them to start exercising.
