Grown and Growing Podcast 33. More Than Menopause: Health Issues Women Over 40 Should Focus on with Dr. Nicole Farmer
As women, there is no shortage of things that we worry about. But we’re no good to others if we’re not at the top of the list. On the podcast, I talk a lot about being in a good mental space, but our physical health is just as important.
In this episode, I’m talking to Dr. Nicole Farmer, NIH physician scientist and internal medicine doctor, about women’s health and how we can ensure we’re health-conscious.
And because she’s a researcher, I ask her about the importance of medical research, and how history prevents Black Americans from fully benefiting from clinical advancements.
