What if one of the most powerful medicines available didn't require a prescription?

In this final installment of our Men's Health Month series, host Reggie Hicks sits down with exercise physiologist Paige Jones to discuss why movement may be one of the most effective tools for preventing disease, improving quality of life, and helping us age well.

Paige explains why exercise impacts everything from heart health and diabetes prevention to cancer survivorship, bone strength, sleep, mood, and longevity. He also tackles some of the biggest fitness myths, including whether you can "outwork" a poor diet, the truth about belly fat, and what older adults need to know about strength training.
