Movement Isn't Optional: It's Your Best Anti-Aging Investment

New Episode (1200 x 630 px) (23)-1

Falls don't have to be inevitable, and the solution is simpler than you think. In this powerful finale to our January Wellness Series, Host Dawn Platt welcomes back Dr. Brittany Tallhamer, a physical and occupational therapist who has witnessed firsthand how movement can transform lives at any age or stage of dementia. Brittany shares the shocking truth about what happens when we stop moving, reveals how one bedbound patient walked 30 feet after just one week of therapy, and breaks down the exact exercises that help keep memory care residents not just safer, but more engaged.

Whether you're managing arthritis, supporting a loved one with Alzheimer's who is in memory care or at home, or simply want to maintain your wellness as you age, this episode delivers practical strategies you can start today — no gym required. Tune in to learn why we don't lose mobility because we age; we age faster because we stop moving.
