In this episode of the Salience Podcast, we explore health and the relationships between personal agency and systems. As a society, we under-invest in preventative health in favor of big pharma and a medical model that focuses too much on remedies. Many people would rather take a pill than make the effort to eat healthy whole food and move well.

Our guest today is Dr. Anita Shankar from John Hopkins Department of International Health within the Bloomberg School of Public Health. Anita researches and develops behavioral interventions to foster personal agency and leadership in vulnerable populations.

In this episode, we talk about some extraordinary examples of developing personal agency through training, and the impact that can have on even the most vulnerable and disempowered populations.
