Description
The Health Courage Collective Podcast is for women who are too busy to slog through hours of generalized, inapplicable and often contradictory health information, but too smart to ignore that a few minutes of focused attention now can prevent years of suffering in the future. Hosted by Christina Hackett - a pharmacist who doesn’t want you to live on prescriptions, a certified coach specifically trained to maximize your potential, and a compulsive learner obsessed with preventative, cutting edge, holistic and integrative medicine. Take a few minutes a week to increase your physical and mental resilience so you can fearlessly look forward to your next 40 plus years, age like a pro, and have fun doing it! Episodes are brief and publish every Wednesday.
