From Desk Chair to Breakthrough Care: Your Health, Upgraded

The Not Old Better Show, Prevention Magazine Interview Series

🎧
Welcome, everyone, of the Prevention Magazine Healthy Living Interview Series on The Not Old Better Show. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and I am so glad you're here with us today. Today's episode is sponsored by Daily Greens by Factor Form.

We've got a fantastic returning guest—independent health journalist and author of mindful women's novels, including the award-winning Warrior Won, and her new book, Yoga Bind, which will be published next spring and longtime Prevention Magazine contributor, Meryl Davids Landau—who's bringing us the kind of conversation that sticks with you long after you've stopped listening.

🚶‍♂️ Is 10,000 steps a myth? Turns out — yes.
According to Prevention Magazine's Meryl Davids Landau, new research shows 7,000 steps a day is enough to lower your risk of dementia, cardiovascular disease, and even falls. No marathon walking necessary.

🧘‍♀️ And if you're sitting at a desk all day?
Meryl also shares easy, seated yoga moves that target your eyes, wrists, neck, shoulders, and spine. These movements are gentle, restorative, and made for anyone 50+, working or retired. No yoga mat required — just a willingness to stretch.

🔬 We also look back at 75 years of medical milestones.
From robotic surgery to IVF, wearable ECGs to personalized gene editing — this episode is a celebration of science that has saved and changed lives. And it's also a reminder of what's still possible as we age.

🎧 This conversation is packed with practical advice, surprising stats, and timeless wisdom.
Whether you're walking more, stretching smarter, or reflecting on how far we've come in health innovation — this one's worth a listen.
