"The good news: We're living longer than ever. The bad news: We're living longer than ever (⁠AARP⁠)."

"As it turns out, living a healthy life is so much more complicated than just exercising and eating right. The more mundane tasks you do each day (bingeing on Netflix, driving to work) have more of an impact on your well-being than you think (⁠Prevention⁠)."

Join us this week as we discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of what experts say we're doing to add (and subtract) years from our lives.🫀👩🏻‍⚕️

ICYMI: Verse of the Week 📖

/ Matthew 25:35-40 /
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

"There's no such thing as a self-made person. Someone else believed, encouraged, and invested in you. Be grateful and be that someone for others." - Unknown

Founder & CEO of Vitalogy EMS, Brodie Verworn, was born and raised in Montana. In 2006, he became a full time EMT/Firefighter with the Big Mountain Fire Department, where he was the senior paramedic on staff until his retirement in 2020.

Backed by incredible knowledge and extensive experience, Brodie and his wife, Amy sought to fill the dire need in our community and founded Vitalogy EMS, a private ambulance transport company based out of the Kalispell, MT area. With the rise in medical transport needs in the region, Vitalogy EMS aids in transporting our community's most vulnerable from hospital to hospital, hospital to other care facility, hospital to home, or home to a medical appointment.

Join us this week as we dive into Brodie's world of constantly finding a need and filling it! ⤵️

Join us this week as we discuss how to best support someone who is grieving, how to interact with them after a funeral, and the best ways to actively lighten the load for those in a heavy season.

Death and taxes; the only two things in life that are guaranteed!

No matter how immortal we feel waltzing through life’s ups and downs, we all must someday stare death in its devious eyes as we reflect on our lives. Life is complex, sure. That’s a given. But if you really ponder for a moment, it can be boiled down to 2 feelings you’ll most likely be met with on your deathbed: Triumph or regret.

Join us this week as we navigate through Kyle B. Hart's list of most common regrets collected from people on their deathbeds. Don't worry, it's mostly lighthearted in here!

What can we ask her?
What CAN'T we ask her?
What even is an Alexa?

If you find yourself lost in these questions, never fear! This week's flashback episode highlights everything you need to know about better communicating with those a generation or two in either direction!

This week, we're revisiting Ep. 52 | Surviving the Summer; Tips for Tackling Hyperthermia and Heat Stroke! 🥵☀️

As the temperatures begin to rise, it's important to stay informed on the implications of heat overexposure. Heat syncope, heat cramps, heat edema, heat exhaustion, and in the most severe cases, heat stroke don't discriminate, and our elderly population is most at risk. The majority of people who die from hyperthermia each year are over 50 years old.

Re-listen to Ep. 52 for helpful information on ways to prevent overheating, how to identify early signs of hyperthermia, and how to lower you our your aging loved one's susceptibility to heat-associated illnesses!

☀️SUMMER PREVIEW☀️

Summer is and the perfect opportunity for your aging loved one to purge excessive belongings that are no longer used! However, downsizing for seniors can present a multitude of emotional and physical challenges.

As overwhelming as it may seem, downsizing can help to create a simple, safe, and stress-free environment for your senior loved one. Check out Ep. 69 | Making Downsizing Easier for You and Your Aging Loved One to learn more about minimizing stress and maximizing productivity through the process of downsizing! 📦

HAPPY MAY! ☀️

Over the next few weeks as we dive into the sunnier part of springtime, we are excited to reflect on and highlight some of our favorite episodes that will help you prepare for the warmer months!

Exercise and physical activity are good for just about everyone, including older adults. Often, inactivity is more to blame than age when older people lose the ability to do things on their own. Lack of physical activity also can lead to more visits to the doctor, more hospitalizations, and more use of medicines for a variety of illnesses (National Institute on Aging).

Check out Episode 70: Getting Active and Living Longer! to learn more about the benefits of exercising as we age, discuss functional flexibility, and give tips and tricks on how to integrate more activity into your daily life! 🏃🏼‍♂️

“Coping with the death of a loved one is difficult enough without the added stress of dealing with financial matters. Whether you’re a spouse, parent, child, or friend, the emotional toll could be compounded by worries about finances. Here’s a touch of good news.

Classic. 🙅🏻‍♀️🤣 What do YOU think is the worst surgery to have to prep for? #caregiver #caregiving #seniorhealth #seniorcare #inhomecare #homehealth #podcast #homecare #healthyaging #surgeryprep

“Scammers use lots of different tactics — stories about grandchildren in distress, million-dollar prizes, a romantic future, or a business deal — to try to steal peoples’ money. Scammers may demand payment by wire transfers, gift cards, and cryptocurrency — methods that transfer funds quickly and anonymously.” Scams are terrifying, as they are so often completed before you even realize what’s going on. Our older generation tends to be more vulnerable, and there’s only so much we can do to help them stop it. Fortunately, there are some things to look out for that can equip your older loved ones to be more vigilant. Join us this week as we discuss ways to prevent scams, protect your loved ones, and what do if you are scammed. 🎧 Listen to episode 120—NOW available on YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts!🎙️ #caregiver #caregiving #seniorhealth #seniocare #inhomecare #homehealth #podcast #reels #reelsinstagram #seniorcarepodcast #internetsafety #avoidingscams #scams #protectyourlovedones

⚠️ Pay close attention to your surroundings‼️ A common ruse as of late is to do something that will get you back out of your car, such as putting a dollar or a note under your windshield wiper, cracking an egg on your windshield, or placing something on the hood of your car.

“In the scientific literature, awe has been identified as a very distinct positive ⁠emotion⁠ that can enhance mental and physical health by influencing thought patterns, social behavior, and physiology.
