In this episode, host Dr. Andrea Austin interviews the co-founders of Mana Wellness, Dr. Maria Paasch and Dr. Anna Barrett. They have been caring for the health of women for a combined 30-plus years. In this episode, we dig into what is Functional Medicine and why it is part of the transformation in healthcare.After a decade or so into their careers, Drs. Paasch and Barrett found Functional Medicine. They understood instantly that it was not only the solution to this problem but that it was the medicine of tomorrow. Through their own journey with Functional Medicine, they have been able to identify and address underlying issues on the biochemical level that were the cause of symptoms that they assumed were just a “normal” part of motherhood and aging, symptoms that they just assumed they simply had to live with. Functional Medicine has shown them that feeling truly well and vital is possible at any age and with almost any health issue. They are learning on a deeper level, just how amazing the human body is and the innate power it has to function and heal. They founded Mana Wellness Medicine to help reconnect women to the innate power and wisdom that they already possess. The fulfillment of helping other women realize, through Functional Medicine principles and practice, that they have within them the ability to heal and achieve optimal wellness is truly comparable to sharing with them the life-changing experience of p Are you a healthcare professional looking to empower yourself and advance in your field?

In this episode, host Dr. Andrea Austin interviews the co-founders of Mana Wellness, Dr. Maria Paasch and Dr. Anna Barrett. They have been caring for the health of women for a combined 30-plus years. They grew up in a family surrounded by strong women and therefore, found themselves drawn to women’s health without hesitation. Their women’s health training took them from the deep South to the South Pacific, giving them the opportunity to work with women across the continent and from varied backgrounds. Through their training in Obstetrics & Gynecology and in their practice, they have found deep satisfaction in the connections formed with women while helping them through pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. Working with women through some of their most intense and life-changing moments, they created intimacy and a bond with their patients that are unique to women’s health and not often found in other areas of medicine. "Taking care of women and their families year after year is an honor and a privilege. It is also revealing of the shortcomings of our medical system." While they sincerely value their OB/GYN training, they recognize that true preventive medicine and the art of cultivating and maintaining wellness are largely lacking both in allopathic training and in traditional medical practice. They consistently find it difficult and frustrating to help women achieve true wellness in a system that is no Are you a healthcare professional looking to empower yourself and advance in your field?

Welcome to "Heartline," a podcast dedicated to exploring the inspiring journeys and impactful work of healthcare changemakers leading the charge in transforming healthcare. Despite the United States spending more on healthcare than any other developed nation, key quality outcomes like life expectancy and maternal mortality lag behind. With over half of American physicians experiencing burnout, the challenges within the system are clear. Join us as we delve into the stories of patients, medical professionals, and other experts who defy the status quo. We’ll uncover the unique characteristics and experiences that propel them to be effective changemakers and the organizational factors that support change.

Whether you're a physician, a medical student, or simply passionate about the future of healthcare, "Heartline" will offer valuable perspectives and actionable ideas to help you thrive in a challenging environment and contribute to improving our healthcare system. Seasons 1-4 focused on gender bias in the medical system and shared the uplifting stories of women and allies who are true to their values, boundaries, and priorities, improving their career fulfillment and increasing their impact on healthcare.
