Everything is Public Health
MJ and Cass
Everything is public health and public health is for everyone.So many things impact our health. The physical things around you, the social interactions, the policies you may never notice, are all quietly there, protecting our health and well-being in subtle ways everyday. 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 and well-being of the people. Public health saved your life today, and you probably didn't notice. https://www.everythingispublichealth.com/

Public Health Explained - Gender Affirming Care
It seems like the people most vocally against gender affirming care have no idea what it is. Also, JK Rowling sucks and Harry Potter is mid. Shame on LA Children's Hospital for shutting down the gender affirming care center. They abandoned the people they were supposed to serve, capitulating to a bigoted tyrant. -o-www.everythingispublichealth.comBluesky Social: @everythingisPHMastodon: @everythingispublichealth Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.com Photo Credit: Photo by Nikolas Gannon on UnsplashSupport the show

Public Health Explained - Why do conservatives hate the 15 minute city?
The 15 minute city is a simple urban planning concept that prioritizes the people's health and wellbeing, with the added benefit of reducing environmental impact, pollution, and inefficiencies. It is arguably the best way to design an urban space. So why do the conservatives have a full blown moral panic about it? -o-Website: www.everythingispublichealth.comBluesky Social: @everythingisPHMastodon: @everythingispublichealth Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.com Photo Credit: Photo by Felix MacLeod on UnsplashSupport the show

Standards - The CDC Injury Center
Regulations are written in blood. Whose blood are we using? The CDC Injury Center has been fully gutted. For the foreseeable future, we will not know what is killing us. This is proactive deregulation, as a lack of evidence of a problem can be used to justify the lack for more rules and policies. Standards is a new series from Everything is Public Health, where we examine all the rules and regulations keeping us safe and healthy, and the deregulation movement working to destroy them. -o-Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingispublichealth Bluesky Social: @everythingisPHMastodon: @everythingispublichealth Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.com Photo Credit: Photo by Harlie Raethel on UnsplashSupport the show
