<p dir="ltr">After eight and a half years on the Alzheimer&rsquo;s caregiving journey, Jeff Edwards knows firsthand how overwhelming a diagnosis can be.</p>

<p dir="ltr">But this episode of GutPunched: Alzheimer&rsquo;s and Caregivers &mdash; The Not So Sexy Podcast is different.</p>

<p dir="ltr">This is an ALL-POSITIVE story.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Host Jeff Edwards welcomes back Christine LaConte, CEO of The Dubin Center, an organization that helped him tremendously shortly after his wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer&rsquo;s.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Christine talks about how The Dubin Center has grown, expanded its reach, added staff and facilities, and continues providing caregivers and families with what they need most:</p>

<p dir="ltr">Education. Resources. Support. And HOPE. HOPE WITHOUT HYPE.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Jeff reflects on what The Dubin Center meant to him eight and a half years ago&mdash;and why he considers their mission &ldquo;Hope Without Hype.&rdquo;</p>

<p dir="ltr">Later, Dr. John Huffaker joins Jeff for another edition of &ldquo; &nbsp;tackling an important question about why someone with Alzheimer&rsquo;s can appear to fluctuate between different stages of the disease.</p>

<p dir="ltr">No negativity. No doom and gloom.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Just a good story about good people doing good things.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Episode 118 is a reminder that caregivers don't have to do this alone.</p>
