Redefining Dementia Care and Cognitive Wellness | Betty and Kristin Kemper, Ep. 32
Apr 800:56:06Tap to summarizeToday's guests didn't just build a business; they answered a personal calling. I'm honored to welcome mother-daughter duo Betty and Kristin Kemper, founders of Kemper House residential memory care communities and Kemper Cognitive Wellness, a clinic devoted to personalized medicine for better brain health. Together they are redefining how we care for people who may be going down the path toward cognitive decline or already living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Their journey began decades ago in long-term care and then became deeply personal when Alzheimer's touched their own family, first with Betty's mother-in-law (Kristin's grandmother) and later her husband (Kristin's father). Refusing to accept the idea that nothing could be done, Betty and Kristin set out to challenge the status quo by combining compassionate care with innovation, research, and hope. From opening their first Kemper House in 1999 to launching Kemper Cognitive Wellness and developing successful cognitive training programs such as BrainFit®, their work has transformed lives across Northeast Ohio and beyond. They are true pioneers in dementia care, and I'm grateful to have them with us today.

Transcribe →Are Mold Toxicity and Lyme Disease Driving Alzheimer's Cases? | Dr. Neil Nathan, Ep. 26
Nov 700:58:03Tap to summarizeToday, I am very honored to introduce Dr. Neil Nathan. Neil Nathan, MD has been a Board-Certified Family Physician and is a Founding Diplomate of the American Board of Holistic Medicine. He has nearly 5 decades of experience in patient care. From the time that he began medical school at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine, it has always been his passion to try to help as many of his patients as possible, even those with challenging conditions. For him, and for his patients, conventional medicine had many answers, but sometimes they weren't enough. Over the years, he found that other disciplines held the promise of providing useful answers for those patients who did not respond adequately to conventional medical care. Slowly his practice evolved into what he called Complex Medical Problem Solving. Over time, he found himself working mostly with those unfortunate patients who had not received a clear diagnosis from conventional medicine and were suffering with persistent and debilitating illnesses including Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Lyme disease with its coinfections, Mold Toxicity, Autism, and all varieties of Chronic Pain, amongst others. He is the author of several popular books including "Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and Chronic Environmental Illness" and "The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide." He lectures internationally on environmental illnesses and has mentored over 200 physicians in treating chronic inflammatory conditions. Dr. Nathan continues to pioneer new approaches for patients who are highly sensitive and unable to tolerate conventional treatments. He is a hero of mine and my dad's and I am very grateful to have him here with us today.

Transcribe →Beating Cancer, Mindset and Riding for the Pan-Mass Challenge | Kevin O'Riordan, Ep. 024
Sep 601:11:15Tap to summarizeToday I am very honored to introduce my good friend, Kevin O'Riordan. Kevin is an Acute Myeloid Leukemia survivor and stem cell transplant recipient. He is riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge this weekend, for the second time, to help raise funds and support the Jimmy Fund and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In August 2024, Kevin rode 186 miles on a two-day route from Sturbridge to Provincetown, MA. This year, he'll be riding the route again – this time with a team comprised of his brother, Tom (who was his stem cell donor), his dear friend, Nate, his uncles and his sister in law, Alissa. He's riding primarily to help raise funds that will aid in continuing research and operations at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Funding goes to doctors, nurses, staff and researchers at DFCI so they can continue to help people like Kevin. He's a proud supporter of the Pan-Mass Challenge because it is leading the charge to beat cancer. In fact, 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber's tireless commitment to finding a cure. Kevin's a great friend, amazing person with an amazing story and I'm very grateful for him to be with us today.
