   Our guest is Ashley Everetts, Pulmonary Rehabilitation Lead, Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation at Aultman Deuble Heart and Vascular Hospital.  Are you considering quitting smoking, or is there someone in your life that you want to help quit smoking?  When someone takes the big step of deciding to quit smoking, family, friends, and co-workers can make a huge difference by giving their help and support.  If your friend isn't quite ready to quit, try to see it from their side. For most smokers, cigarettes have been a steady companion for a long time. Some reluctance is normal, and it doesn't mean your friend won't be able to quit for good. First, let your friend know you understand their doubts, then suggest they list their reasons for quitting.  Quitting smoking is a journey and a process, not a single event.  Access resources to get tips on what you can do from the start to help someone quit and to help them “stay quit.”  Plan on being there for the long run and helping them meet the challenges along the way.  This morning we will talk with Ashley about the reasons to quit smoking, managing the physical effects of quitting smoking and most importantly, how to receive help and support through the process. https://www.medshoprx.com

Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in the U.S. since 1949. Every year during the month of May our goal is to raise awareness about mental health. It’s an opportunity for all of us to come together and remember the inherent value we each hold — no matter our diagnosis, appearance, socioeconomic status, background or ability. We want every person out there to know that if all you did was wake up today, that’s more than enough. No matter what, you are inherently worthy of more than enough life, love and healing. Showing up, just as you are, for yourself and the people around you is more than enough.   This morning we are happy to share this time with Elena Aslanides-Kandis and Justina Gorman from Stark County Mental Health and Addiction Recovery, a multi-faceted county behavioral health board comprised of expert professionals, dedicated volunteers and concerned community leaders.  Stark County Mental Health &amp; Addiction Recovery believes in hope, wellness and recovery for everyone.   We’d like to remind our listeners that today’s program is also available on our podcast.

Do you remember a time when you had abundant energy and felt vibrant?  When you slept well, you didn’t need caffeine, you were able to consume foods that didn’t result in weight gain.  If you did gain weight you could make some easy adjustments and lose it fast.  As we age, things change. Perhaps you are struggling to recall words easily or you are wishing you were experiencing that passionate spark with you spouse or loved one.  Are you wondering what happened?  The Mayo Clinic has published studies that show changes in hormone levels and metabolism as we age.  When you were younger, hormones like thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and pregnenolone were produced in abundance and in balance, but aging and stress can deplete many of the hormones that kept your body young, healthy and strong.  The good news is that they can be replaced with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).  Bioidentical hormones are not magic, they do not cure all disease, but they can restore your body to a healthier place, similar to when you were younger.   This morning we will talk with Marna about BHRT and the services offered at Vitality Med.    https://www.medshoprx.com

Dementia is a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60-80% of dementia cases and today more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease.  Alzheimer’s kills more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined, with deaths from Alzheimer’s increasing 145% since the year 2000.  While Alzheimer’s is a familiar term,  more than 80% of Americans know little about or are not familiar with mild cognitive impairment, which can be an early stage of Alzheimer’s.  Early intervention is critical so it is important that we learn how to recognize signs and symptoms that we should bring to our doctor’s attention.   This morning we will talk with Dr. Drake and learn about the risk factors for Alzheimer’s, along with diagnosis and treatment.

People who are suffering or nearing the end of life often have spiritual needs as compelling as their physical concerns.  That person might find peace by resolving unsettled issues with friends or family.  They might appreciate and find comfort in visits from social workers or counselors.  Many people find solace in their faith.  In addition, the friends and family members of the person who is suffering often find themselves wondering what to do, and how to help while also coping with their own feelings.  Today Chaplain Terry is with us to discuss a compassionate journey and share his insight for those of us who are either faced with the journey ourselves or are journeying with a friend or loved one.    https://www.medshoprx.com/blog

The Compassionate Journey

 Hospice care is designed to help terminally ill people live out their final days in as much comfort as possible. The practical application of palliative care, in most cases, focuses on alleviating physical pain. But there are other elements involved.   Emotional, psychological, and spiritual comfort all take on vital importance at the end of life. Faith may take precedence over everything else in these moments. No matter what a hospice patient believes, the interconnected concepts of mind, body, and soul are  deeply ingrained across most cultures. When faced with their own mortality, people often feel an  urgent need to get  their spiritual affairs in order. At its best, hospice care can allow patients to incorporate faith into their life during their final days as much or as little as they desire.   This morning, Darrell will talk with us about his role as a hospice chaplain at Aultman Hospital.  https://www.medshoprx.com

All too often, illness or injury appears out of the blue: You wake up in the middle of the night with intense abdominal pain. You stumble while carrying groceries up a flight of stairs, and cannot put weight on your swollen ankle. Or your baby spikes a high fever on the weekend.   When these situations occur, we’re often faced with uncertainty about where to go for care, especially if the symptoms seem severe and our regular doctor’s office is closed.   While the answer is not always simple, knowing the difference between a walk-in clinic, an urgent care center and a hospital emergency room can make a huge difference, especially if you have a medical emergency.   Today we will talk with Dr. Elias and learn about the difference between the Emergency Room and Urgent Care, while also discussing common health concerns during this cold and flu season.  https://www.medshoprx.com/blog/difference-between-the-emergency-room-and-urgent-care-dr-jon-elias-medical-director-of-aultman-now-urgent-care

Fall prevention may not seem like a lively topic, but it’s important.  Each year, millions of adults aged 65 and older fall.  Falls can cause moderate to severe injuries, but the most important message is that falls can be prevented.  Falls are often considered to be part of a syndrome.  In other words, more than one thing may be causing the condition.  As a result, there is often a benefit from a team approach where various disciplines can contribute to the assessment and treatment of the condition.  Today, our discussion includes both a physical therapist and a pharmacist to get their perspectives on fall prevention.     https://www.medshoprx.com/blog/topic-perspectives-on-fall-prevention-melissa-overly-medicine-center-pharmacy-michelle-mccann-physical-therapist-aultman-therapy-services

Recently the FDA permitted the sale of over the counter, or OTC hearing aids.  OTC hearing aids are designed to treat mild to moderate hearing loss in adults 18 years and older.  This ruling is intended to help those who aren’t seeking help from a professional audiologist due to a variety of factors that could include embarrassment or cost.  This morning we will talk with Dr. Testa about OTC hearing aids, their pros and cons and other valuable information.
