The Health Courage Collective

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.

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.

What was your last really good day?  What made it a good day?  What if that were your new normal?  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?  When you at your best becomes your new average, your potential rises, but it doesn’t feel like an endless treadmill of max effort.  It’s just your new normal.  Want to change your...

What diseases or conditions are you most worried about getting as you age?  I can tell you what you should be most worried about, based on statistics (which is metabolic dysfunction, such as prediabetes and cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure and damaged blood vessel linings), but if you’re like most women I’ve talked to, you’d probably say you’re most scared of getting cancer, Alzheimer’s and living in chronic pain...

Most of the women I talk with about getting 100% consistent doing the things they wish they would consistently do because they know they’ll put more years lived in good health in their future are on kind of a roller coaster ride of feeling successful and smart and committed and feeling discouraged, ashamed and defeated.  If you’re ready to exit that carnival and build the physiologic future you want from a more grounded and steady ...

There are so many people with opinions about what you should put in your mouth.  They can all make logical-sounding cases for their opposite food ideologies of choice, which can feel confusing and overwhelming.  Not knowing what you should eat makes a basic daily necessity unnecessarily difficult, complicated and time-consuming.  It’s time to ignore everyone else and get some peace of mind back about what you choose to eat.

There’s an easy way to get more power to create the future you want from your subconscious (and your conscious) mind.  Without realizing this, you’ll have less natural creative problem solving abilities and more difficulty creating high level results you’re proud of.  It’ll be like driving with one foot on the break.  So let’s give your mind more power to be extraordinary!

 Did you know that Alzheimer’s is mostly preventable and sometimes reversible?  Today we’ll talk about what we used to think Alzheimer’s is, what it really is, what you can do to lower your chances of getting it, and when you need to start. You have more control over your future health outcomes than you’re led to believe.  Even having 2 copies of the APoE4 gene isn’t a match for how you choose to live your life now.

Did you know there’s an really basic military strategy that might be the difference between you adding more years lived in great health to your future or ending up confused, disappointed, disoriented and dismayed 30 years from now?  I hadn’t thought about it this way before, but it’s a really useful (and kind of fun) tactic you can use to not leave your future up to chance.

The real fountain of youth exists.  It’s something you have access to for free right now, and very few people know how vitally important it is to decreasing your risk of developing all of the common diseases of aging that make you live less as you get older.  Focus on this one thing and you’ll benefit all of the other aspects of your health that tend to decline with age.  All of them.  It’s not easy, but it is fun and the rewards a...

How do you accept all the important evidence that excess body fat is probably causing you to slowly stop living before you die and making your current experience less pleasant than it otherwise could be by driving all the scary diseases of aging, AND still categorically refuse to beat yourself up for having a not-ideal looking body that might never look as healthy as the fit women you look up to?  There’s a way.  Let’s work on tryi...
