Why don't doctors listen to women? Medical gaslighting refers to instances when physicians dismiss, ignore, or undermine the complains and symptoms of patients. While it could happen to any patient, historically women were the primary group affected by this phenomenon. From the lack of investment in women's reproductive health to the residual effect of "hysteria" as a diagnosis, women often face instances when they were told there is nothing wrong with them despite how they are feeling. Public health is the health of everyone. Any systemic issue half of the human population face deserves attention. Special thanks to all the women I interviewed for this episode. Unfortunately, I couldn't include all the interviews. I hope I did your story justice. -o-Sound and Music Credit: "Bleeping Demo" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"Screen Saver" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/-o-Twitter: https://twitter.com/EverythingisPHPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingispublichealth  Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.com       Support the show

"There's a reason you don't see factories in Beverly Hills." Highways are not great. They are load, they are heat traps, they take up a lot of space, and living near one negatively impacts your health. Where we placed these huge highways were not done equitably. Discriminatory policies and infrastructure meant these highways targeted certain neighborhoods to destroy.

Voting is important. The spirit of public health is the health of everyone, the entire population, and therefore it is imperative that everyone gets to vote. When we typically think of voting, we think about the big ticket positions like the president, US Senators or US Representatives. But when it comes to the laws and policies that actually have the most impact on our lives, they pertain to a whole separate area of voting that often flies under the radar. Local elections have the most intimate and proximal impact on our daily lives and our health. This episode discusses not just why voting matters, but why voting in local election is so much more important than most people may believe. P.S.

Abstinence only not only doesn't work in its state goal of promoting abstinence, it also has other consequences beyond sex education. In part 1, we defined what abstinence only sex ed is and what cunning strategy its proponents are using to keep the abstinence only curriculum going, in this episode we will discuss the current policy landscape of sex ed in America and what consequences teaching abstinence only sex ed have. Featuring special guest: Caitlin Viccora!Check out Caitlin's Podcast! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/between-the-pages/id1521858696https://www.instagram.com/betweenthepagespod/?hl=en-o-Twitter: https://twitter.com/EverythingisPHPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingispublichealth  Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.com   Support the show

Sex ed is one of those awkward experiences that we don't think about much after it happens. But a proper sex education is important to help the teens and young adults prevent STIs, unexpected pregnancies, and understand their bodily functions. For many of us it was a comprehensive experience, but for a sizable fraction their experience was much more limited or an abstinence only curriculum. In other words, the focus was on preventing sex altogether instead of providing the information to reduce risks.  What is the history and origin of abstinence only sex ed? What health impact does it have? And most importantly, is it effective? (No). Join us and special guest Caitlin in a two part special that examines the issue of abstinence only sex ed. Featuring special guest: Caitlin Viccora!Check out Caitlin's Podcast! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/between-the-pages/id1521858696https://www.instagram.com/betweenthepagespod/?hl=en-o-Twitter: https://twitter.com/EverythingisPHPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingispublichealth  Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.com  Support the show

When we think of homelessness, we typically think of being literally without shelter. While that is the case for a lot of people, homelessness can also mean sleeping in your car, staying on a friend's couch, or hopping from place to place.

None of us wants to be in a car accident, and we do our best to avoid crashing into fixed structures like light posts.

For many of us, groceries are just there. We may think about how often we shop for groceries, or how much we spend each week on groceries, but for most of us we hardly think about our access to them or how we get there.

Food deserts are those areas, and they have a profound impact on the health of people living there. -o-Twitter: https://twitter.com/EverythingisPHPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingispublichealthEmail: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.comSupport the show

Welcome to Everything is Public Health! So many things impact our health. The physical things around you, the social interactions, the policies you may never notice, are all quietly there, influencing our health and well-being in subtle ways everyday. Some are there on purpose to prevent bad outcomes, some are issues that we still need to address, but most go unnoticed by many of us. This is the world of public health; a science of understanding the countless forces and designing solutions to help prevent or mitigate harm and improve the health of the people. Once a week, this podcast explores one concept and delves into those hidden forces. We are one and a half public health professionals (MJ is the half), and we hope to bring these public health ideas into the consciousness of our listeners. With some luck, we hope to inspire a new generation of public health minded people, because the more public health oriented we as a society become, the brighter our future is. Thank you so much for listening! MJ and CassTwitter: https://twitter.com/EverythingisPHPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingispublichealthSupport the show
