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 booksInternational TEDx SpeakerInternational Conference SpeakerOver 400 Media InterviewsHost of a top 10% International Podcast and TV Show " Truth, Lies & Alzheimer's show" Website: https://www.dementiaawarenessspeaker.com

Welcome back to Saving America, where politics, business, and common sense collide. As the World Cup heats up across North America, Dr. Dave breaks down the biggest stories shaping Week 25 — from confusing economic signals to Cuba’s unraveling regime to the rise of dangerous “teen takeovers.” And don’t miss this week’s “Interesting Person” guest: Award winning singer songwriter and inspirational author Glenda Benevides. ⚖️ 📬 SPONSORSHIP & GUEST INQUIRIES: info@drdavesavesamerica.com Follow Us on our Social Media: drdavesavesamerica.com instagram.com/drdavesavesamerica facebook.com/DrDaveSavesAmerica linkedin.com/in/davidschein x.com/DrDaveSaves Listen to Us on you Favorite platforms Including: Saving America – Brushwood Media Network TRUMP ECONOMY — HOT AND COLD “America released the May job numbers, and at first glance, it looked like great news — strong hiring and unemployment holding at 4.3%. 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.

FF: How Governments Cheat There are many ways that governments cheat to steal money from their citizens. From the inflation tax to hiding the level of spending with off-balance sheet liabilities, the government will find a way to take more than you may realize. Now, some are starting to take money from IRA's to pay for off-balance sheet liabilities. We talk about inflation and how to use it to your advantage. We also discuss making money - not just earning but actual value creation that brings additional money into the economy! We also talk about the unintended consequences of the war with Iran that the Trump administration may not have considered before they started bombing. We also talk about the value delivered by Elon Musk and his companies. If you can understand value, interest, and inflation, you can make better financial decisions for yourself and your family!

Dr. Lewis Meline I began my education in nutrition, exercise, and weight loss while serving in the United States Air Force nearly fifty years ago. Like many other military personnel (and civilians for that matter), I was very overweight and out-of-shape. It really bothered me to be like this, so I began to study everything that I could find to help me lose weight and get in better shape, eventually deciding to lift weights. Many different athlete and other diets were used over the years. They included very high protein intake and a variety of supplements. The supplements were very expensive (nothing has changed in that regard) and there were many times when I could not afford them. After several years of blindly following the various diet plans, and using recommended supplements, I began to notice that the expected results were not being obtained. There was no difference in my strength and muscle mass during the times that I could take the supplements and when I couldn’t. I also noticed that losing weight was no different whether I did or didn’t take various supplements advertised to make you lose weight. What was the cause of this? Was it poor supplements? Was I taking the wrong supplements or using them inappropriately? Maybe my workouts were inadequate or I was doing the exercises incorrectly or even using the wrong exercises. This observation bothered me and I began to research the answer to these discrepancies. During this time, I was accepted to medical school. Now, finally I would be able to get the answers that I sought. However, I was sorely disappointed. Medical school did not teach the physiology I was looking for and it did not address the nutritional questions I wanted to answer. It also did not address weight loss, except for a brief mention of the consequences of being overweight. Therefore, I could not resolve the discrepancies I had noted and was left to research this information on my own. I continued to study from textbooks and any other information that I could find. I also spent a lot of time studying physical exercise and ways to improve my workouts. There were several vitally important discoveries that I made concerning Diet, Supplements, Weight Loss, Exercise and especially Health. My desire to educate people about my findings led me to write a book, “Lies Exposed.” This book educates people as to what is proper nutrition, and how to apply that information to lose weight while maximizing their health. This information is vital for anyone who is serious about wanting to lose weight. This is especially true, since most people seeking weight loss are not aware of the need to maximize their health, and that supplements and medications are more detrimental than beneficial. The knowledge contained in my book was used as a basis for developing the coaching programs used by Straight Shooter Health, a platform for helping people lose weight and maximize their health.
