When Your Doctor Doesn’t Believe Your Pain with Dr. Cristin Zaimes | Ep 53

What do you do when your doctor doesn’t listen? When your provider doesn’t believe you?

The recent Selma Blair interview on Good Morning America brought to light a scary fact: women are not being heard by their medical providers. Chronic conditions are going undiagnosed for YEARS, despite the fact that women are reporting real physical problems. As seen with Selma Blair, this lack of care can have irreversible consequences.

On Episode 53 of the Funk’tional Nutrition Podcast, I interview Dr. Cristin Zaimes of Oceanside Physical Therapy to discuss how sexism in healthcare creates shame and distrust in our own bodies. We discuss what can we do to change this -- including ways to tap into our innate power to heal.

In this episode:

-Sexism in Healthcare

-Why Women Aren’t Being Listened To

-Why does pain go on so long?

-Neural networks

-Hyper vigilance in the body

-Re-establishing Resiliency in Your Body

-Your power to heal

-How to Find Trust in Healthcare Again
