In this episode of the MMOA Podcast, Dustin Jones sits down with Dr. Mariana Wingood to cut through the noise and talk about what really drives physical activity in outpatient care. They unpack the barriers we often create as clinicians, the simple strategies that actually get older adults moving, and how tech can be a tool instead of a distraction. Mariana highlights the power of setting realistic but challenging goals, meeting patients where they are without lowering the bar. This isn't about checking boxes — it's about empowering older adults to own their activity, push past limitations, and build the capacity they need to thrive.
