In this episode of The Senior Scoop, hosts Deborah and Kelsey Samuel sit down with Marty Wuttke to explore how the brain responds to feedback, attention, and repetition — and how learning does not stop with age.

Rather than framing the brain as something fixed, this conversation focuses on how the brain adapts based on the information it receives. Marty explains how feedback helps the brain recognize when it is moving in a helpful or unhelpful direction, and how this process supports learning, focus, and awareness over time.

The discussion highlights how observation, attention, and consistency play a role in shaping mental habits, and how creating the right environment allows the brain to adjust naturally.

In this episode of The Senior Scoop, hosts Deborah and Kelsey Samuel sit down with Dhara Solanki, founder of the Pelvic Health Center of Santa Barbara, to explore a topic that influences far more of daily life than most people realize: pelvic health. Through honest conversation and patient stories, Dhara explains how pelvic discomfort affects mobility, posture, digestion, continence, and overall confidence — and how many people hesitate to seek help because they feel embarrassed or unsure where to begin.

Throughout the conversation, she and the hosts talk about how stress, posture, past surgeries, hormones, and even bathroom habits can influence pelvic comfort. They also highlight how common incontinence and pelvic symptoms are, and how isolating it can feel when people don’t know that help exists, or feel too embarrassed to ask for it.
