Special Guest: Michelle Middleton In this insightful and empowering episode of Senior Care Made Simple, the hosts sit down with special guest Michelle Middleton to unpack a topic that affects millions of women—but is rarely discussed openly: menopause and memory. From “brain fog” and forgetfulness to mood changes and disrupted sleep, perimenopause can bring cognitive shifts that feel alarming and confusing. Michelle shares practical strategies, reassurance, and science-backed insight to help women understand what’s happening in their bodies—and what they can do about it. Whether you're experiencing perimenopause yourself, supporting a spouse, or caring for aging parents, this episode provides clarity, encouragement, and actionable tools. For many women, perimenopause begins in their 40s—often while they’re juggling careers, raising children, and possibly caring for aging parents. Memory lapses during this stage can create unnecessary fear, especially with increased awareness around dementia. This episode helps listeners understand the difference between hormonal brain fog and more serious cognitive concerns—bringing peace of mind and proactive solutions. About Our Guest Michelle Middleton, PA-C, MSCP, brings expertise and compassion to this important discussion, offering practical insight grounded in experience and research. Her message is clear: you are not losing your mind—you are going through a transition, and there are ways to support your brain and body through it. You can reach Michelle at 561-823-0040 or michelle@SpokeMed.com. 🎙 Senior Care Made Simple is brought to you by Horizon Care Services—creating an educational resource for families navigating aging, health transitions, and caregiving with clarity and confidence.

Menopause and Memory: Keeping Yourself In The Right State During Menopause
In this powerful and emotional episode of Senior Care Made Simple, Andrea and Doris sit down with author Nancy A. Ferraro to discuss her deeply personal memoir, When the Bough Breaks. Nancy shares the raw and unfiltered story of adopting a child diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and the life-altering challenges that followed. What began as a journey rooted in love and hope evolved into years of emotional, physical, and psychological strain as she fought to provide safety, structure, and stability for a child whose brain had been permanently affected by prenatal alcohol exposure. With remarkable honesty, Nancy walks listeners through: • What Fetal Alcohol Syndrome really is — and the lifelong neurological impact it carries • The realities of parenting a child with severe behavioral and impulse-control challenges • The strain on marriage, family dynamics, and mental health • Navigating school systems, medical professionals, and social services • The painful decision to place her son in a group home at age 14 for his safety and the safety of others • The guilt, grief, and resilience that followed This episode is not just about parenting — it’s about endurance, advocacy, and the complicated love that exists when doing the “right” thing doesn’t feel good. Nancy’s story sheds light on a rarely discussed topic: how brain-based disabilities can profoundly affect families, and how sometimes the bravest act of love is recognizing when you cannot do it alone. For families caring for children or adults with cognitive impairments, behavioral disorders, or developmental disabilities, this conversation offers validation, understanding, and hope.
