I’m your host, Paul Vogelzang.  Today’s Prevention Magazine October episode is brought to you by UnitedHealthcare Medicare Plans. At UnitedHealthcare, we provide coverage you can count on for your whole life ahead.

We have a jam packed show today.  Today we’re exploring a topic that is both simple and profound: the power of walking. Our guest is the inspiring Joyce Shulman, co-founder of 99 Walks, author of the best selling book, ‘Why Walk,’ TED Talk famous, and Joyce will join us as we lace up our shoes and experience the transformative benefits of walking.  

First are two audience favorites from our The Not Old Better Show, Prevention Magazine Monthly Healthy Living Series. Senior Health Editor—Nutrition & Fitness, and Kaitlyn Phoenix, Deputy Editor, Hearst Health News Room are here to share their perspectives, insights and special touches to the October Prevention Magazine issue.  

With Alyssa Jung and Kaitlyn Phoenix we’ll be talking about important, relevant, and timely health topics from the October issue like breast health, ‘earworms,’ and finding the right ‘weight neutral’ doctor.  Then, Alyssa will tell us about the cover story, “Walk Away the Pain" setting us up to hear from "Why Walk" author Joyce Shulman.

In today’s episode, Joyce will share her journey from lawyer to entrepreneur, discuss the importance of staying motivated, and offer practical tips on how to incorporate walking into your daily routine—even when the weather isn’t on your side. We’ll also dive into how walking is becoming a vital component in healthcare, with Medicare plans now offering walking tours and group classes to promote health and wellness for seniors.

So, grab your walking shoes and get ready to be inspired by Joyce Shulman’s passion and insights. You’ll learn why walking is much more than just exercise—it’s a pathway to a better life.
