For many adults, the aging process can be a complex mix of emotional ups and downs, physical metamorphosis, mental fogs, and much more. For adults aging during the COVID-19 pandemic, all of these factors have been intensified by global anxiety, lonely quarantines and the overall unpredictability of the future. So, what are ways that adults aging in the midst of isolation and tumult might find community and certainty, while prioritizing their health? Melina Meza, 500-ERYT, BS is an Ayurvedic health educator and certified yoga instructor who is offering solutions. She hopes to encourage aging adults to establish routines for healthy living by way of specialized yoga classes, group health education teachings, and more.

On this Healthcetera podcast, Eve Adler, MA, RN, RYT, YTRx, HealthCetera correspondent, registered nurse, and registered yoga teacher, hosts Melina Meza for a conversation about the realities of aging during the pandemic, and advice for the adults who are navigating this experience.

Many people in this country may think that because troops have left Afghanistan and troops have largely left Iraq and Syria, their emotional, mental and physical health challenges just go away with time. But the time frames we’re talking about are really months, years, and for many: decades. How are we serving our veterans? I asked a nurse colleague and friend, Ali Tayyeb, Ph.D., RN, NPD-BC, PHN to join us today to discuss these issues.

Dr. Tayyeb is a United States Navy Veteran, having served as a Fleet Marine Force Corpsman with the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, 1st Marine Divisions, and 3rd Marine Division. Dr. Tayyeb is an Assistant Professor at the School of Nursing at California State University. He is an artist and producer/host of RN-Mentor Podcast and Blog. His clinical and research interests focus on veterans’ health.

As the pandemic continues to affect physical accessibility to healthcare services, telehealth platforms remain an important channel through which providers can regularly connect with patients. Among the medical services offered online are psychiatry and therapy services, available via platforms such as Lavender. Lavender is an online teletherapy site co-created by Pritma Dhillon-Chattha DNP, MHA, RN, and Brighid Gannon DNP, PMHNP-BC, two psychiatric nurse practitioners looking to improve clients’ access to mental health therapy services.

On this podcast, HealthCetera correspondent and public health nurse Barbara Glickstein, MPH, MS, RN, hosts Lavender’s co-founders as they discuss the need for convenient teletherapy services, and the creation of Lavender to meet that need.
