She also shares practical steps people can take to reduce exposure at home and outdoors.
What should you check before heading outside? When should you rethink outdoor exercise? What can help improve the air inside your home?

What does it take to age independently?
On a new episode of The Age of Aging, we explore one part of aging that often gets overlooked: the planning required to maintain independence over time.
Bode Hennegan, founder of Life Managers and Associates, shares common pitfalls she sees older adults face when planning for later life. Legal documents alone are not enough. Aging independently also means thinking about who will help manage care, finances, daily logistics, and decision-making if needs change.
The episode looks at practical questions many families avoid until a crisis. Who will pay the bills? Who will coordinate care? Is the home equipped for aging? Are the right supports in place?
