Are you aging well as a woman over 40? Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by all things wellness? —losing weight, gaining muscle, reducing stress, finding time to exercise, getting sound sleep, feeding yourself and your family healthy meals –  it goes on and on. 

Meanwhile, what do we REALLY want?? To look great, to feel great AND BE our best. YET let’s face it, there’s almost too much health information out there, and life as a woman can be challenging—we often put ourselves last! 

How can we make a change when change seems so overwhelming and aging seems to be happening at an all record speed?

Join us as we help you AND OURSELVES use lifestyle choices as our medicine so we can age on our own terms!

Functional Moms Podcast features practitioners, health and fitness coaches, skin specialists and nutritionists to name a few – all from a functional medicine perspective. 

We also have candid conversations with women; women over 40 just like us, sharing with each other what actually works and what we’re still struggling with. 

We will find solutions, learn, grow and have plenty of laughs and aha moments along the way as we work together toward our personal best.

Connect with your hosts and functional medicine certified health coaches Kristin Brucker and Raquel B. Cartagena (also a certified personal trainer and older adult fitness specialist) on Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok and YouTube @functionalmomspodcast

We finish season ONE by highlighting the top tips we learned to look and feel our best after age 40.
