Episode 329: Aging Strong: Strength, Balance, and Mobility for Life with Dr. Shelby Blankenship
What does it take to stay active, strong, and independent as we age? In this episode of Aging Starts Now, outreach coordinator Dana Hentschel sits down with Dr. Shelby Blankenship, founder of Southern Grit PT and Wellness, to discuss the critical role that strength, balance, mobility, and functional movement play in healthy aging. Many people think physical therapy is only for recovering from injuries, but Dr. Blankenship shares how her innovative approach combines physical therapy, wellness, and strength training to help adults maintain independence, reduce pain, prevent falls, and continue doing the activities they love. In this conversation, you'll learn: • Why strength training becomes increasingly important after age 50 • How balance and mobility impact long-term independence • Common misconceptions about exercise and aging • Signs you may benefit from working with a physical therapist—even without an injury • Practical exercises and habits that support healthy aging • Real-life success stories from clients who have improved their quality of life Whether you're looking to improve your health, maintain your independence, or simply age with greater confidence, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.

Episode 328: Uncomfortable Estate Planning Questions People are Afraid to Ask
Most people have questions about estate planning and elder law—but some questions feel too awkward, uncomfortable, or even embarrassing to ask out loud. In this episode of Aging Starts Now, host Dana Hentschel sits down with Johnson McGinnis Elder Care Law & Estate Planning associate attorney Josh Hunter to tackle the questions people often save for private consultations or ask only after everyone else has left the room. Together, they discuss: • Can I pay myself for serving as someone's attorney-in-fact? • Can I make gifts to myself under a Power of Attorney? • Can an executor pay themselves? • Does an executor have to follow the will exactly? • What happens when everyone agrees the will is unfair? • Must a trustee always follow the trust's instructions? • What if a trustee believes the trust is making a bad decision? • Can an attorney-in-fact hand the job off to someone else? • What if I don't want to serve as attorney-in-fact, trustee, or executor? • Can I be sued for serving in one of these roles? If you've ever been named in a Power of Attorney, trust, or will—or if you're considering who should serve in those positions—this episode provides practical answers to some of the most misunderstood responsibilities in estate planning.
