Half of all physicians in primary care are women, but we're still training in the same philosophical system. We bring to anything that we teach what we believe or what our culture teaches us. There's a lot of fat shaming in medicine, particularly against women. So we may recognize it, but we may still be doing it. It doesn't seem like you'll ever really get the level of intentionality and funding and devotion and ground swell and mass change until there's something else that's really motivating it.
Is energy medicine real? What about Ayurveda? What about Western/modern medicine, what’s right and not so right about it? Does the gender of a patient make a difference in how they’re treated, or in their health outcomes? What about the role of plants, herbs, and intuition? These are all questions that have come up in conversations over the years as I’ve had the incredible opportunity to sit down with women who are leading voices and often voices of change in various approaches to medicine and wellbeing. And, in today’s episode, we’ve curated key elements from four of those conversations to share and potentially pull back the curtain on so many myths, misunderstandings and confusion and plant some seeds to explore a different lens and maybe even some different modalities when it comes to exploring your own physical, mental, and energetic wellbeing.
