What if glowing, youthful skin didn’t start with injectables—but with whole-body health? In this episode of the Mama Work It Podcast, I’m joined by Christine Blanchard and Alanna Judd, family nurse practitioners and co-founders of Bridge Family Wellness, to explore a holistic, root-cause approach to skincare, wellness, and aging well—with or without Botox. Christine and Alanna share how motherhood, medicine, and personal health journeys led them to create a direct primary care practice that blends conventional Western medicine with holistic healing. From nervous system regulation and hormones to skincare and longevity, their philosophy centers on treating the whole person, not just symptoms. The conversation also dives into their newly launched Holistic Skin Studio, the truth about aging skin, and whether injectables like Botox are the right decision for your skin. This episode is for working moms who want to look and feel their best—without sacrificing health, balance, or long-term well-being.
