The Health Courage Collective
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.

It’s pretty obvious that our healthcare system is not helping midlife women thrive. The limited and often suppressed information available to women is confusing enough on its own. Then once you finally dive in and make some sense of how you want to approach your hormonal health, why is it so hard to find a good prescriber to work with?

There’s a test you can do yourself at home to get a lot of good data about how likely you are to stop living due to the #1 cause of death in women. The best part is that it’s free and easy and if it comes back not optimal, you have time to start doing simple things now so that you make it to your 80s in unusually good health.

What you focus on multiples, right? It’s totally natural to worry about the future, your aging biology in particular. But even though it feels useful -like you’re doing something, it won’t prevent the chronic diseases of aging. If anything, it will make them more likely. And it will make the years between now and then a lot less fun.

Sometimes there are problems with trying to fix your problems. You can hack your behavior, do more and more actions, procure more desirable circumstances and really perfect a limited version of yourself. One who never grows or progresses or frees herself to create the astounding future you deserve. Or you can start seeing your approach to problems differently.

There’s a prescription I think almost every woman should eventually be on, but most of them don’t know that it could improve their future. Things change as we age, but there’s no reason to suffer unnecessarily, especially when there are cheap and easy solutions that can help you live more as you get older, rather than less. If you want to improve your overall resilience while lowering your risk for urinary tract infections, urina...

There’s a reservoir of power you can tap into to increase your potential to do good in the world, find more meaning in your experiences, and savor a fuller range of humanness. Without it, you’ll miss the opportunity to connect more deeply with what life is all about and might end up creating an unwelcome future. In health and aging (and everything else) you make what you believe to be true true.

There’s a supplement you might not have ever considered taking and I think it’s worth your time to learn about so you can decide what’s best for you and safeguarding your cellular health. It’s time you learned more about lithium.

What do you think might be the biggest threat to your long term health? Drug resistant bacteria? A global pandemic? Bee extinction? Nuclear war? Could be. Those would be bad and make us rethink everything we thought we knew about our futures. But I think there’s something else more likely to reduce the number of years you have left in good health.

If doing the healthy behaviors that you feel like you should do always feels like an endless, joyless uphill battle, maybe it’s because you think {q} “being healthy,” -whatever that even means-, is an end in and of itself. An end that you should obviously want. That you should be scared of not achieving. But that’s backward. Keeping our reasons for creating a healthy physiology in the proper perspective is so easy to overlook. ...

Even though I generally love supplements, there are really only 2 or 3 that I would say are mandatory if you want to be healthy. If you want to lower your chances of developing high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, heart attack, arrhythmias, malignant tumors, kidney stones, cholesterol problems, depression, attention problems or other psychiatric disorders, fatigue, and poor athletic performance, you need enough magnesium. 80% of...

We spend a lot of time wondering whether we’re normal, whether the things that we’re experiencing are normal, or if our test results are normal. I think you should aspire not to be normal. Today we’ll talk about several ways I think being abnormal will put more years lived in good health into your future. Let’s not be normal together.

There is a cheap and easy lab test that can give you a lot of information about your risk for scary things like heart attack, stroke, dementia, brain shrinkage, osteoporosis and more. It could save your life. But most doctors won’t order it unless you ask them to because they don’t know what to do with the results. But you’re about to. Let’s talk about homocysteine.

If you’d love to consistently make perfect health choices that ensure that you don’t end up with all of the chronic diseases of aging that will make you slowly stop living before you die, you need a special ingredient in your thought processes about your health goals, actions, habits and choices. It’s imperfection. And if you really expect to achieve something remarkable, it’s not optional.

You can make your healthy choices, the choices you wish you’d just make automatically….automatic if you know the language of the future! It’s not Jawaese or Clingon. It’s the language of algorithms, and it can make your life amazing! Algorithms are just a process or set of rules to be followed in a series of steps that can be used to make calculations, resolve problems, and reach decisions. Whether you know it or not, your life...

If you don’t want to slowly stop living before you die and you want to be capable of joyfully living and giving more as you age, you know you’ll have to do some things differently than most people right now. But if you don’t have a masterful thought process, you’ll always feel like you’re on a hamster wheel of trying really hard but still never doing enough. So let’s fix that and make life way more fun.

We all have set points for what makes for average days, health, emotions, connections, productivity, etc. What if we made our prior best our new baseline?
