Ordinary movements are easy to take for granted—until they aren’t. That’s one reason National Falls Prevention Awareness Week, observed September 21–25 in 2026, deserves more attention than it usually gets. The National Council on Aging (NCOA) notes that more than one in four older adults falls each year in the United States, and falls can threaten both safety and independence. Yet, falling is not simply an unavoidable part of getting older. There are practical steps that can help reduce risk. And perhaps the most useful way to think about fall prevention is this: you’re not trying to avoid movement. You’re trying to protect your ability to move confidently. NCOA recommends six key steps for helping prevent falls. They cover much more ground than simply watching where you walk—and together, they create a surprisingly comprehensive picture of healthy aging.

Fall is an excellent time to make a few small adjustments that support the way you actually live. No dramatic reinvention required. Just a collection of manageable habits that can help you move more, sleep better, eat well, protect your energy, and pay closer attention to what your body is telling you. Think of them as 10 small wellness wins worth collecting before winter. Let's talk about it.

We usually talk about aging in terms of the things we see and experience: wrinkles, aches and pains, thinning hair, reading glasses. Though, all of those things are actually caused by changes happening on the cellular level. That's where the "aging process" mainly takes place. On today's show, WAEB host Bobby Gunther Walsh and Dr. Eric Lebby talk about supplements and provide tips that can help you slow down that process.

There’s a strange thing about everyday aches and pains: sometimes, the less you move, the worse you feel. You wake up stiff and decide to take it easy. You spend a little more time sitting. Maybe you skip your usual walk because your knees, hips, back, or shoulders are bothering you. A few hours later, you stand up—and somehow, you feel even stiffer than you did that morning. It seems backwards. If something hurts, shouldn’t resting it be the obvious answer? Not always. Our bodies are built for movement. Joints, muscles, connective tissue, and even the systems responsible for balance and coordination all work together through regular activity. When movement decreases, that entire system can start to feel less fluid.

On today's show, WAEB host Bobby Gunther Walsh and Dr. Eric Lebby will be covering some of Res-Q's most popular supplements and what customers are saying about them. They'll explain how lifestyle changes and the right supplements can help you in multiple aspects of your health journey.

September is National Cholesterol Education Month. Nearly 25 million American adults are living with a high risk of heart disease due to their cholesterol levels. Since there aren't really any symptoms for high cholesterol, it's vital to get tested regularly, especially if you have a family history of heart disease. On today's show, WCBM host Sean Casey and Dr. Jeffrey Shapiro break down some of the numbers and provide tips to help you keep your cholesterol at optimal levels.

What can a centuries-old fermented food possibly have to do with modern cholesterol health? The answer begins long before cholesterol numbers appeared on laboratory reports or doctors started talking about LDL. For generations, traditional cultures used fermentation to transform ordinary foods into something entirely different—changing their color, flavor, composition, and nutritional properties in the process. Red yeast rice is one particularly fascinating example. Created by fermenting rice with a specific type of yeast, this striking red ingredient has a long history in traditional Chinese food and medicinal practices. What people discovered through centuries of use eventually caught the attention of modern researchers, who began asking a very different question: What exactly is being created during the fermentation process?

Today's show focuses on how our energy levels and heart health are deeply connected. WAEB host Bobby Gunther Walsh and Dr. Jeffrey Shapiro discuss how Res-Q Orosine can naturally combat fatigue and support cardiovascular wellness.

Maybe you've been blaming your packed schedule. Maybe you've chalked it up to getting older. Maybe you've simply decided this is what life feels like now. But feeling drained isn't always a matter of doing too much. Your energy depends on a surprisingly complicated network of systems working together. Sleep, stress, blood sugar, cellular energy, digestion, mobility, and cardiovascular health can all influence how well you feel from one day to the next. Sometimes, the more useful question isn't “How do I find more energy?” It's “What's quietly using up the energy I already have?”

There are lots of different definitions of what it means to be "fit" physically. It could be body weight, BMI, V02 max levels, heart health, or how you look and feel. Though, one thing that's certain is regular physical activity is vital to our well-being. Today, WAEB host Bobby Gunther Walsh and Dr. Adam Teichman discuss some fitness success stories from Res-Q customers.
