  The Science of Aging Better with Keith McShan & Stacy Goddard: Part 1

  Sep 30, 202639 min

  Featuring Keith McShan and Stacy Goddard of Missouri State University Keith McShan brings a background in sport and exercise psychology, while Stacy Goddard serves as an associate professor and program director for exercise science at Missouri State University. Together, they explore both the physical and psychological sides of building healthier habits and maintaining independence as we age. Part 1: How to Make Exercise Stick Why do some people build a lifelong exercise habit while others struggle to get started? In Part 1 of The Science of Aging Better, Missouri State University professors Keith McShan and Stacy Goddard explain why the best form of exercise is often simply the one you will continue doing. They discuss the importance of enjoyment, confidence, personal choice and community—and why accountability can make such a powerful difference. The conversation also explores the barriers that frequently keep older adults from moving, including pain, chronic health conditions, fear of injury and a lack of support from friends or family. Keith and Stacy offer practical ways to make healthy decisions easier, create realistic goals and move beyond temporary motivation toward lasting discipline. Whether you are returning to exercise, trying to support an aging family member or simply looking for a more sustainable approach to wellness, this episode offers an encouraging reminder: you do not have to begin perfectly. You just have to begin moving. #TheScienceOfAgingBetter #InGoodCompanyPodcast #AgeBetter #MissouriStateUniversity #KeithMcShan #StacyGoddard #ExerciseScience #SportPsychology #ExerciseIsMedicine #HealthyAging #ActiveAging #Healthspan #Longevity #StrengthTraining #Mobility #FitnessMotivation #HealthyHabits #ExerciseMotivation #Wellness #MentalHealth #PhysicalHealth #AgingWell #SeniorFitness #PreventiveHealth #HealthEducation #HealthMisinformation #MoveMore #LiveBetter #SouthwestMissouri #SpringfieldMO

  Achieving Your Best: How to Exercise for a Longer Life with Cassie Dimmick Part 4

  Sep 23, 202640 min

  What kind of exercise do you actually need to age better? In the final part of our conversation, registered dietitian, trainer, and wellness coach Cassie Dimmick breaks exercise into practical categories, including daily movement, cardiovascular activity, high-intensity training, strength, mobility, balance, and recovery. Cassie explains why walking is valuable but may not address every part of healthy aging, why strength and functional movement become increasingly important over time, and how maintaining the ability to stand, move, balance, and get off the floor can protect independence. We also discuss how people can safely return to exercise after years of inactivity, why random workouts can lead to frustration or injury, and why it is never too late to begin. As Cassie reminds us, no one else can take ownership of our health for us, and waiting for the perfect time often means continuing to wait. Watch Part 4 of our conversation with Cassie Dimmick and discover how small, consistent actions can help you build a stronger and more capable future.

  Does Medicare pay for long-term care? What about Medicaid? And what happens if you or a parent can no longer safely live at home?

In this episode of In Good Company: Age Better, we break down what families should know about Medicare, Medicaid, long-term care insurance, estate planning, and preparing for the possibility of long-term care.

  Achieving Your Best: Wearables, Gut Health, & Fasting with Cassie Dimmick Part 3

  Sep 16, 202634 min

  Are smartwatches, glucose monitors, fasting plans, and gut-health products helping us become healthier, or are they sometimes creating more confusion? In Part 3, registered dietitian and wellness coach Cassie Dimmick explores how personal health technology can provide valuable information without allowing numbers to take over your life. We discuss wearables, glucose responses, VO2 max, probiotics, fermented foods, gut health, and the importance of understanding what your data can and cannot tell you. Cassie also examines intermittent fasting, including why research performed primarily on men or inactive participants may not apply equally to women and active adults. The conversation concludes with a balanced discussion about alcohol, moderation, and why health research is not always as simple as a headline makes it appear. Watch Part 3 of our conversation with Cassie Dimmick and learn how to use health information as a tool rather than another source of anxiety.

  Achieving Your Best: Wellness Trends Everyone is Talking About with Cassie Dimmick Part 2

  Sep 9, 202645 min

  GLP-1 medications and peptides have become some of the most talked-about tools in modern health and weight loss. But what do we know, what are we still learning, and what should people consider before beginning? Registered dietitian and wellness coach Cassie Dimmick shares a balanced perspective on the potential benefits and concerns surrounding these rapidly growing trends. She explains why losing weight is not the same as building health, how inadequate nutrition can lead to muscle loss, and why bone health and long-term function matter more than simply becoming thinner. Cassie also discusses the importance of professional guidance, evaluating health influencers, recognizing conflicts of interest, and finding qualified experts who can help you focus on what matters most for your body. Watch Part 2 of our conversation with Cassie Dimmick for a thoughtful look at GLP-1s, peptides, wellness marketing, and the challenge of knowing who to trust.
