What if the secret to maintaining your independence well into your golden years had nothing to do with expensive gym memberships or marathon training? In this practical and empowering conversation, host Bryan Bibbo sits down with Michael Dombrowski, MS PA-C—an Assistant Professor at Baldwin Wallace University with over 35 years of clinical experience in orthopedic surgery and complex musculoskeletal care, to explore why movement truly is medicine.

Mike challenges the intimidating notion of “exercise” and replaces it with something far more accessible: movement. Through compelling patient stories, Mike reveals why sitting has become the new smoking and how just 150 minutes of weekly movement, broken into five-minute increments, can transform not just your physical health, but your cognitive function, emotional wellbeing, and most importantly, your independence.
