🎙️ Carrie On!

What if becoming a grandparent wasn't something that simply happened—but something you actually trained for?

In this episode of Carrie On, Carrie Murray sits down with wellness pioneer Kristen Coffield, founder of The Culinary Cure and creator of the growing Active Grandparenting movement.

Long before hydration, functional fitness, and food-as-medicine became wellness buzzwords, Kristen was teaching women how everyday habits could transform their health. After surviving an overwhelming decade that included cancer, menopause, financial hardship, family loss, and caregiving, she rebuilt her life one habit at a time—and discovered that resilience begins with the smallest daily choices.

Now, with millions embracing healthier aging, Kristen is helping grandparents become stronger, healthier, and more present for the people who matter most.

In this conversation, you'll learn:

✔️ Why hydration is the foundation of every health goal

✔️ How functional fitness keeps you independent as you age

✔️ Why thyroid disease is so often overlooked in women

✔️ The surprising science behind the "Grandmother Effect"

✔️ How to build stronger relationships with your grandchildren—and their parents

✔️ Easy healthy recipes anyone can make

✔️ Why active grandparenting benefits every generation

Whether you're already a grandparent, hope to become one someday, or simply want to age with strength and purpose, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom.
