Why Walking 22 Minutes More With Your Dog Matters

Join hosts Dr. John Phillips and Global PAD Association CEO Kym McNicholas on The Heart of Innovation as they broadcast live with Dr. Christopher Stout from Ozark Vein & Vascular's 3rd annual PAWS For PAD event.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) causes poor circulation in the legs and affects 1 in 5 Americans over 60, yet 70% of adults don't know what it is—despite being more prevalent and deadlier than most cancers combined. In this episode, Dr. Stout shares his patient-centered approach to vascular health, the role of walking and pets in improving leg circulation, and practical tips for smoking cessation.
