Caregiving Club On Air

Host Sherri Snelling celebrates September Healthy Aging Month by talking to two experts using entertaining ways to help older adults keep their brains and bodies in shape. She first talks to neuroscientist Henry Mahncke who is CEO of Posit Science, creators of brainHQ brain exercise programs to enhance cognitive performance. Then Sherri talks to Mark Evin, CEO of Jintronix, an online health platform using gamification to help older adults with rehabilitation and body strength using virtual skiing, soccer and even gardening. Our bonus interview in celebration of New York and Paris Fashion Weeks this month is with fashion designer, Cara Sumpton, co-founder of Apparelmark and lead designer for the Joe & Bella adaptive clothing line. She will talk about how fashion is ageless and what interested her in designing for older adults. Sherri also touches on World Gratitude Day September 21 in Caregiver Wellness News and Falls Prevention Week September 18-25 in Well Home Design News. As always, we end our episode with our Me Time Monday Wellness Hack that plays off our theme of “The Year of Living Colorfully” as we dive into the color psychology of orange which is tied to social health and gratitude.
