114. Longevity by Design: How Your Shoes, Your Home, and the Stairs You Take Affect Your Health and Weight (Part 2)

In Part 2 of this two-part series, Dr. Lisa shifts gears from short-term food choices to the daily habits and decisions that shape your long-term health, weight, and mobility. This episode explores how seemingly simple choices, like buying slip-on shoes or living in a one-story ranch, can quietly influence your strength, stability, and even your lifespan.

From an eye-opening conversation about Sketchers to compelling data on stair climbing and cardiovascular health, you’ll learn how to spot and reverse the sneaky habits that can accelerate aging and make it harder to stay active and independent.

In this episode, Dr. Lisa covers:

• Why “use it or lose it” isn’t just a saying, it’s a longevity strategy
• How your choice of footwear can impact strength, balance, and metabolism
• The surprising link between stair climbing, heart disease and early death
• What type of home design might best support your long-term health and weight goals

You’ll walk away inspired to rethink how you move through your day, and how you can design a life that helps you stay strong, independent, and healthy from midlife well into your later years.
