Eat Strong, Move Smart: Stefani Sassos on Food, Fitness & Health Claims That Matter After 50

The Not Old Better Show, Good Housekeeping, Good Better Best Interview Series

🥗 What does "healthy" really mean after 50?

It's a question many of us ask while standing in the grocery aisle, reading a supplement label, hearing about a new diet trend, or wondering whether our workouts are doing enough to keep us strong.

On the Good Housekeeping Interview Series from The Not Old Better Show, Paul Vogelzang welcomes Stefani Sassos, MS, RDN, CDN, Nutrition and Fitness Director for the Good Housekeeping Institute. Stefani is a registered dietitian and certified personal trainer who helps people make sense of food, fitness, and the health claims we see every day.

In this episode, Stefani talks about the Mediterranean way of eating, her High-Protein Mediterranean Cookbook, protein and muscle strength, why hamstrings matter for movement and balance, and how fitness and food work together as we age.

We also get into the topics that make many people pause: SPF in a pill, supplements that may worsen hair loss, postbiotics, USDA food labels, and how Good Housekeeping reviews health information before sharing it with readers.

For professionals, caregivers, adult children, and anyone focused on aging well, this is a smart and grounded conversation about staying curious, asking better questions, and making choices that support a fuller life.

🚘🔥 Modesto, chrome, rock & roll, and American Graffiti Festival 2026

The Not Old Better Show, Art of Living Interview Series

🚘 Some communities have landmarks. Modesto California has a soundtrack, a streetlight, a polished hood, and a story that helped shape American pop culture.

On this episode of The Not Old Better Show, Paul Vogelzang talks with Steve Perry and Chris Murphy about the 2026 Modesto Graffiti Festival and Car Show — a celebration tied to George Lucas, American Graffiti, classic cars, radio, rock and roll, and the culture of 1950s–70s Americana.

But this conversation goes far beyond chrome. Steve and Chris share why the Graffiti USA Classic Car Museum matters as a civic project, an educational space, a home for local stories, and a way to preserve memories that may otherwise be lost.

For donors, sponsors, volunteers, and local partners, this is a chance to help Modesto protect its own story — and share it with families, visitors, students, car lovers, and future generations.

The Mental Health Benefits of Movement

Live Long Better, Fitness Interview Series with Dr. Sabrena Jo

What if one of the best things you can do for your mood, your memory, your confidence, and your independence does not require a gym, a stopwatch, or a brand-new pair of shoes?

What if it starts with standing up, taking a walk down the hall, stretching while the coffee brews, or practicing balance beside the kitchen counter?

Welcome to the April Live Long Better series from The Not Old Better Show. Today, we are talking about "The Mental Health Benefits of Movement," and here is the provocative truth: after 50, movement is far more than exercise. It is a daily vote for steadiness, self-trust, sharper thinking, lower stress, and a stronger sense of possibility.

Our guest is Dr. Sabrena Jo, Senior Director of Science and Education at the American Council on Exercise. She joins us to reframe movement as something joyful, useful, and deeply human—not a chore, not a punishment, and never a test you have to pass.

We will talk about the brain-body connection, movement after a fall, balance training, fear, confidence, and the small steps that can help us feel more like ourselves again.

Show notes

Dr. Robert Watson, Distinguished Professor of American History at Lynn University, reveals the lesser-known stories, surprising twists, and forgotten voices behind the most iconic document in U.S. history.

Drawing from a wealth of primary sources—including letters, diaries, newspapers, and diplomatic communiqués—Watson reconstructs the debates, drafts, and drama that surrounded the creation of the Declaration of Independence. Focusing on the influence of women, enslaved individuals, and Indigenous peoples, Watson brings to light the varied cast of often-forgotten characters and perspectives that shaped the American experiment in his book, Declaration: The Story of American Independence. Along the way, he explores the document's philosophical roots, its political impact, and the enduring struggle to realize its lofty promises of liberty and equality.

Live Long Better: The Science of Strength, Sleep, and Morning Sunlight May 06, 2026

Show notes

What if better health didn't require drastic change—just smarter habits?

In this episode of The Not Old Better Show, I speak with Dr. Sabrena Jo from the American Council on Exercise about two highly effective, accessible strategies: strength training and morning light exposure.

For adults over 50, maintaining muscle, balance, and mobility is essential for independence. Dr. Jo explains how simple resistance exercises—done just a few times a week—can make a measurable difference.

We also explore emerging research on morning sunlight. Just 10–20 minutes early in the day can help regulate sleep cycles, improve mood, and even support metabolic health.

The takeaway is simple and encouraging: small, consistent actions can lead to meaningful improvements in how we feel and function.

In this episode of The Not Old Better Show, Anthony Horowitz reflects on a career that keeps finding new life. From Foyle's War and Alex Rider to Marble Hall Murders and A Deadly Episode, he continues to surprise readers and viewers with wit, nerve, and remarkable range.
