Everything is Public Health
MJ and Cass
Everything is public health and public health is for everyone. Check out the sibling show: https://publichealth_isfor_everyone.buzzsprout.com/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/

Sexual Health is Public Health - STIs not STDs
EDIT: There were multiple mistakes we made in this episode that we want to amend: We did not use appropriate people first language when discussing STIs, this is our mistake. When discussing topics like STI we should always default to people first language to avoid stigmatization. HIV can be treated to undetectable viral loads, which also means they cannot transmit the virus in this state. Using the term "infected" and "carrier" for people living or diagnosed with HIV is stigmatizing and problematic (see people first language). Thank you to the listener who pointed this out! We are always open to learning and becoming better. The audio of the episode has been edited as well, hence the abrupt cuts at certain points. Apologies for the inaccurate information. We also want to recognize the important activism of people living with HIV, which transformed our public health and healthcare system. Sexually Transmitted Infections are a public health concern!

Public Health Pondering - Women Only Spaces
Women only spaces, gender-neutral bathrooms, TERFS, and Transphobia. CORRECTION: The term we used in this episode "people who identify as women" is inappropriate and the term we should have used is trans-women or cis-women. Our apologies!
