PODCAST OF THE MONTH

In a society filled with endless wellness, fitness, and nutrition advice, it can be tough to separate fact from fiction. Discover each month’s featured podcast, offering expert insights and evidence-based tips on wellness, fitness, and nutrition.

As part of the BBC’s mental well-being season, All in the Mind explores the science behind how and why exercise supports mental health. Host Claudia Hammond speaks with researchers and psychologists to uncover the latest evidence on the brain-boosting benefits of movement. The episode also breaks down common myths and introduces new research on how exercise can impact mood, motivation, and mental clarity. It's an insightful look at the powerful connection between moving your body and supporting your mind.

National High Blood Pressure Awareness Month

High blood pressure (hypertension) is often called the “silent killer” because it can go unnoticed for years while increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other serious health problems. The good news? Knowledge is power!

Check your numbers regularly
Eat heart-healthy foods
Stay active
Manage stress
Limit salt & alcohol

Taking small steps today can lead to a healthier tomorrow! Do you know your blood pressure numbers?

Older Americans Month

This month, we celebrate the wisdom, resilience, and contributions of older adults in our communities. Whether they’re mentors, caregivers, volunteers, or lifelong learners, older Americans shape our world with their experience and strength.

Let’s honor and support them by:

Listening to their stories
Encouraging active & healthy aging
Building an inclusive, age-friendly community

Aging is a journey, and every stage is valuable. Let’s show our appreciation and uplift the elders in our lives!
