Ina Park, MD, is back again for a focused look at her (second) favorite sexually transmitted infection: syphilis (favorite because it's fascinating). She says, “it's one of the most challenging conditions to diagnose in clinical medicine because it literally can look like anything.” Join Ina and Tammy as they explore how syphilis was almost eliminated around 2000 and then surged again to current rates of infection in the US. Ina spotlights how a rise in congenital syphilis has fueled a mobilization in public health efforts, even while she celebrates declines in rates of the most infectious types of syphilis. As national syphilis screening guidelines are adapted to increase screening, including in emergency departments, Ina is optimistic for a reduction in future syphilis rates. But here's the takeaway for healthcare providers and patients alike: keep syphilis on your radar. A quick shot of penicillin early-on can save everyone a lot of trouble.  Links:  Connect with Dr. Ina Park on her website, LinkedIn,  X, and Instagram  Resources mentioned in episode  CDC Geographic Risk Calculator  Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs  CAPTC related training and resources  STI Clinical Update Webinar – Introduction to Syphilis and Congenital Syphilis CAPTC Disease Intervention Trainings  Previous episodes with Dr. Ina Park  Dr. Ina Park Unwraps the CDC's New 2023 STI Report  S4 E7 Dan Savage on the Magic Question “What are you into?” & Dr. Ina Park on How Providers Can Help  S3 E7: Breaking Down STI Stigma with Dr. Ina Park & Courtney Brame   S1 E6: Fighting STIgma With Humor & Honesty with Dr. Ina Park    Ina Park MD, MS, is the author of Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs.

CDC's 2023 STI Report is in, and for the first time in years, there's good news. Tune in to our latest episode with Dr. Ina Park, a nationally recognized expert on STIs, to learn why she is cautiously optimistic about the new data trends in chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Dr. Park expertly navigates the report with our host, Tammy Kremer, explaining how the previous surge in STIs has begun to slow, while prevalence continues to be high in certain “STI microclimates." Dr. Park stresses the importance of maintaining momentum through increased testing, focused prevention efforts for disproportionately impacted communities, and reducing stigma around STIs. Listen in to discover how disease intervention specialists are battling syphilis on Native American reservations with plenty of penicillin, a trusty car, and heroic determination. Overall, Dr. Park envisions a world where discussing infections is as routine and stigma-free as talking about the common cold.   Read the transcript of the episode.  Links:  Connect with Dr. Ina Park on her website, LinkedIn, and Instagram  Resources mentioned in episode  CDC 2023 Sexually Transmitted Infections Report  Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs  CAPTC-related training and resources  CAPTC Disease Intervention Trainings  CAPTC STI Clinical Training  Previous episodes with Dr. Ina Park  S4 E7 Dan Savage on the Magic Question “What are you into?” & Dr. Ina Park on How Providers Can Help  S3 E7: Breaking Down STI Stigma with Dr. Ina Park & Courtney Brame   S3 E3: Monkeypox, What's The Hype? with Dr. Ina Park  S1 E6: Fighting STIgma With Humor & Honesty with Dr. Ina Park  Bio of Guest:  Ina Park MD, MS, is the author of Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs.

It’s STI Awareness Month, so let's take some time to brush up on our knowledge of sexually transmitted infections. You may think you already know everything there is to know, but trust me, you don't! In today's show, we're going to discuss some surprising and lesser-known facts about STIs that challenge the conventional wisdom. For example, is someone who has a larger number of sexual partners necessarily more likely to have an STI than someone with fewer partners? Likewise, are things like pubic hair grooming and the rise of online dating apps affecting STI rates? For this show, we're revisiting my conversation with Dr. Ina Park from all the way back in episode 39. She is an associate professor at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine and author of the book Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs. Why is it the case that having more sexual partners doesn’t necessarily translate to having more STIs? Broadly speaking, how do some of our sexual practices shape STIs? What’s the relationship between pubic hair grooming and STIs? What are some tips for individuals who want to talk about STIs with a sexual and/or romantic partner? How can we break down STI taboo and stigma to facilitate more open conversations on the subject? You can learn more about Ina’s work here. Got a sex question?

Why is tying a medical provider's pay to the outcomes of their patients a bad idea? Why else should we be concerned about Accountable Care Organizations and the privatization of traditional Medicare? To find out, we spoke to Dr. Ana Malinow, who spent three decades working as a pediatrician with immigrant, refugee and underserved children before retiring as Clinical Professor of Pediatrics from the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine. She's past president of Physicians for a National Health Program and is currently a lead organizer for National Single Payer and The Movement to End Privatization of Medicare. This is the second episode in a two-part series with Dr. Malinow.

Why is ozone therapy popular and controversial? What's are differences among different methods of administration? What about Direct IV ozone injections (DIV method), which is considered a big “no-no” by many ozone doctors? How does ozone therapy work and why is it so powerful? Why is ozone therapy not approved by the FDA and not supported by the mainstream medical community? What happened in Sierra Leone when Dr. Rowen and Dr. Robins went there to provide ozone treatments to Ebola patients in 2014? What is oxidation medicine? Ozone therapy pioneer and educator Dr. Robert Rowen provides tremendous insights while answering these questions. Robert Jay Rowen, M.D., is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Johns Hopkins University and the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, acquiring double board certifications (and recertifications) in Family Practice, and Emergency Medicine, and additionally in Clinical Metal Toxicology. Dr. Rowen is affectionately known as “The Father of Medical Freedom” for pioneering the nation's first statutory protection for alternative medicine in 1990. Two years later, Alaska's governor Hickel appointed him to a term on the Alaska State Medical Board and the appointment survived a legislative battle sponsored by organized medicine due to overwhelming public support. He is internationally known for his clinical practice and teaching in oxidation medicine. He was the Oxidation Workshop chairman for ACAM, and teaches oxidation to interested professionals in hands-on sessions quarterly in his office. He was editor-in-chief of the highly respected Second Opinion Newsletter from 2000 until August 2014.

Smiling is a universal symbol of happiness. However, there are instances when the ability to smile is taken away from a person, outside of mere saddening and heartbreaking life occurrences. There are situations when one chooses not to smile because of how it looks on them. In a 2019 survey of 2,000 Americans by Snow Teeth Whitening, 57% of people said they cover their mouths when they laugh because they were ashamed of their teeth' appearance, with 7 in 10 people admitting self-consciousness about their teeth due to lack of whiteness, crookedness, and gaps between teeth. However, beyond the sphere of dental aesthetics, there lies an array of dental issues that seep deeper than color and shade. The dental specialty of orthodontics focuses on the skeletal issues of the teeth, such as crookedness of teeth, malposition of the jaw, and misalignment of bite patterns, that are usually corrected by traditional braces, clear aligners like Invisalign®, and retainers that seek to correct these issues and restore one's confidence to smile.We are joined by Orthodontic resident dentist Dr. Vivian Chen. She received her BA in Biological Sciences from Columbia University, DDS from the University of California San Francisco School of Dentistry, and is currently completing her Orthodontics residency at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. Previously, she was a Fulbright Research Fellow in Chengdu, China, where she was a research assistant to Dean Xue-Dong Zhou, the Director of State Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases at Sichuan University for dental public health. She was also a research assistant at UCSF School of Dentistry's Department of Orofacial Sciences. Through her social media platform, she promotes oral hygiene and oral health, as well as academic guidance for prospective Orthodontics trainees.Livestream Air Date: March 5, 2023Follow Vivian Chen, DDS: InstagramFollow Friends of Franz Podcast: Website, Instagram, FacebookFollow Christian Franz Bulacan (Host): Instagram, YouTubeThankful to the season's brand partners: Covry, House of M Beauty, Nguyen Coffee Supply, V Coterie, Skin By Anthos, Halmi, By Dr Mom, LOUPN, Baisun Candle Co., RĒJINS, Twrl Milk Tea, 1587 Sneakers

Dan Savage is a sex-advice columnist and podcaster, and Ina Park is a sex positive STI researcher, physician, and author. The two come together in this episode to discuss desire, pleasure, and how to communicate about what feels good with partners and providers. Dan delves into discovering kinks, pleasure as we age, and trying new things alone and with partners. Ina reflects on her experiences as a provider, having conversations with patients around sex and pleasure as bodies, needs, and abilities change.   Dan says that gay people might be better at sex, “not because we're magic...we use the 4 magic words ‘what are you into?'” Ina explains that honest communication with a partner, a physician, a sex columnist, or a therapist knocks down barriers to explore sex and discover pleasure. The two emphasize the importance of both having providers and friends (with a good sense of judgment) with whom you can discuss sex freely.   This is our first episode of the 3-episode mini-series on pleasure.  Resources:   Connect with Dan: https://savage.love/, @dansavage on Instagram, and @fakedansavage on Twitter/X  Connect with Ina: https://www.inapark.net/ and @InaParkMD on Twitter/X  Learn how to include pleasure in sexual health history-taking from the National Coalition for Sexual Health: https://nationalcoalitionforsexualhealth.org/tools/for-healthcare-providers/video-series    Bios:   Dan Savage is a sex-advice columnist, podcaster and author whose graphic, pragmatic, and humorous advice has changed the cultural conversation about monogamy, gay rights, religion, and politics. “Savage Love,” Dan's sex-advice column, was first published in 1991 and is now syndicated across the United States and Canada.

When Dr. Akil Palanisamy recounts his recovery from a debilitating illness during medical school, he says it began with two words: "bone broth." In hindsight, this may not sound so surprising, because Akil (or "Dr. Akil," as his patients know him) has been a doctor, author, and educator at the forefront of the food-as-medicine movement for the past 20 years. Dr. Akil has been described by leading integrative doctor Mark Hyman as "a unique triple threat in the field," combining expertise in functional medicine, Ayurveda, and the Paleo diet and ancestral lifestyles. At the time that bone broth was given to him as a "prescription," however, Dr. Akil was a vegetarian. He had renounced meat a few years earlier "for ethical, environmental, and spiritual reasons" and had become an active member of the San Francisco Vegetarian Society while in medical school there, having completed his undergraduate work at Harvard. The Ayurvedic practitioner he had sought out for his ailment -- because conventional medicine and physical therapy did not help -- was well aware of this. But she saw it as a necessary means to nourish his depleted body and rebalance his excess "vata" (or "air" energy). Dr. Akil was torn. What had started out as a repetitive stress injury to his wrist -- while writing his senior thesis in biochemistry at Harvard University -- had now escalated into chronic pain, severe fatigue, and a weight loss of 30 pounds (from his already lean baseline of 138). He had to take a prolonged leave of absence from medical school. In his desperation, he turned to the story of the Buddha. After practicing an extreme form of asceticism that left the Buddha weak and near death, he was visited by a milkmaid who offered some milk. Despite the taboos, he accepted the offer and eventually regained his health. The Buddha would go on to teach about "The Middle Way," living by neither indulgence nor deprivation. Dr. Akil reached a similar turning point. He started with bone broth, which he could rationalize as being "animal bones that were to be discarded." Eventually, after more stalled periods of healing, he decided to experiment with eating meat again. "I could not fulfill my dream of becoming a doctor without a healthy body." With a nutrient-dense diet that supported his individual constitution, Dr. Akil tried other alternative and complementary therapies, including a holistic chiropractor who practiced functional medicine -- or root-cause medicine. He would heal his gut, regain his weight, and eliminate the pain for a full recovery, allowing him to graduate from the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, then complete a residency program at Stanford Medical Center. He went on to receive a fellowship in integrative medicine with Dr. Andrew Weil at the University of Arizona, study Ayurveda in Southern India at the Arya Vaisya Chikitsalayam, and certify in mind-body medicine from the Georgetown University Center. With this breadth and depth of knowledge, Dr. Akil has treated thousands of people living with chronic diseases and conducts clinical research studies. He serves as the Department Chair for Integrative Medicine at the Sutter Health Institute for Health and Healing (IHH) and as IHH Physician Director for Community Education. Dr. Akil has also served as a consultant with the Medical Board of California for many years. A widely known speaker and educator, he is the author of two books, The Paleovedic Diet: A Complete Program to Burn Fat, Increase Energy, and Reverse Disease -- a customized Paleo diet that incorporates spices, specific fruits and vegetables, intermittent fasting, and an Ayurvedic lifestyle -- and most recently, The Tiger Protocol: An Integrative 5-Step Program to Treat and Heal Your Autoimmunity. Dr. Akil lives in Sacramento, CA. In his free time, he enjoys playing tennis, traveling, and spending time with his wife and daughter. Originally from India, he grew up in Singapore before immigrating to America. Join us in conversation with this "Middle Way" practitioner of medicine and healing who is skillfully weaving East and West, ancestral and novel.

This month, we're going to explore a significant set of recent changes to U.S. HIV clinical guidelines. These changes are momentous in and of themselves, but they also reveal an important ongoing shift in how we fundamentally approach the clinician-patient relationship, especially when it comes to pregnant and infant-feeding people who are living with HIV.     Joining us for this conversation are two people who have been deeply involved in these guideline changes: Lealah Pollock, M.D., and Ciarra (Ci Ci) Covin. Dr. Pollock is an associate professor of Family Community Medicine at the University of California-San Francisco School of Medicine, and she's a member of the expert panel that recently updated the guidelines we discuss. Ci Ci Covin is an HIV advocate and mother of two who has been living with HIV since 2008, and she's a program manager at The Well Project, a nonprofit organization devoted to informing and supporting women who are living with, or vulnerable to, HIV.     Read the transcript: https://www.thebodypro.com/article/future-hiv-care-podcast-15-breastfeeding-chestfeeding     This month's episode is hosted by Myles Helfand.

When Chinh Pham was 10 years old, he and his family, like thousands of others, fled the chaotic capital of what was then South Vietnam on the final day of the Vietnam War. They were rescued by the 7th Fleet of the U.S. Navy, and eventually landed in the United States, where they began a new life. Today, Chinh is a successful intellectual property lawyer in a large international law firm, and is at the midpoint of his one-year term as President of the Boston Bar Association, the first Asian American ever to serve in that position. In this episode of Higher Callings, I spoke with Chinh about his decision to become a lawyer, his leadership positions in a number of nonprofits, his commitment to mentoring young professionals, and his work with the Boston Bar Association.  We began our conversation with Chinh recounting his family's rescue from the South China Sea, and that portion of Chinh's interview will be published in a later episode of the podcast. This episode focuses on Chinh's adult years, beginning with his decision to attend law school at the University of California San Francisco School of Law after graduating from Berkeley, years after his family's arrival in the United States.You can find Chinh's law firm bio here:  https://www.gtlaw.com/en/professionals/p/pham-chinh-hYou can find the Boston Bar Association's news release profiling Chinh as he began his term as BBA President here: https://bostonbar.org/news/chinh-h-pham-begins-term-as-new-bba-president/

The virus that causes COVID-19 has now become endemic after it first emerged two and a half years ago. In the pandemic's early days, many countries' public health officials curtailed economic and social activity to various degrees, prescribed social distancing, enforced lockdowns, required masking, and pushed for other nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to reduce illness and death. Those NPIs imposed an enormous economic and social cost by greatly reducing individual liberty in exchange for promised health benefits. Elsewhere, most famously in Sweden, public health officials were fiercely criticized for implementing less‐​harsh “light touch” NPI measures. Sweden's approach presents a fascinating quasi‐​natural experiment to evaluate the merits and demerits of the more liberal approach to managing the COVID-19 pandemic and to evaluate whether the loss in personal and economic freedom was partly compensated by a decrease in illness and death. Sweden's outcomes on viral spread, excess mortality, and the socioeconomic consequences of COVID-19 compare well with other countries and suggest that strict NPI policies imposed more harm than good.Joining us to discuss how well Sweden's approach worked are Jeanne Lenzer, an independent investigative journalist and regular contributor to The BMJ who has studied this issue; Vinay Prasad, MD, MPH, an epidemiologist and public health policy analyst who is an associate professor at University of California San Francisco School of Medicine; Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, professor of medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine and coauthor of the Great Barrington Declaration that urged a pandemic policy of “focused protection”; and Johan Norberg, senior fellow at the Cato Institute, who resides in Stockholm, Sweden, and has studied as well as experienced his country's pandemic policy. The discussion will be moderated by Cato Institute senior fellow Jeffrey A. Singer. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.

"A large group [of analysts] sitting in the circular Tavistock manner talked about their reactions to the state of the world. It wasn't just about the law about Poland and the Holocaust but also about the populist movements that were gaining ground in many places. The psychoanalysts were saying ” What can we do? What can psychoanalysts do?” I thought to myself “Well, the IPA holds a wealth of expertise, certainly psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic thinking can make a difference in our troubled world."     Episode Description: Dr. Wolfe begins by sharing with us a pivotal moment in her decision to run for office. It was when she encountered political censorship, false facts, and indoctrination that she chose to seek a leadership role in the IPA. She describes her plans to bring our specifically psychoanalytic skills to make a difference in the larger social arena. She shares with us the variety of people and programs that are currently functioning in relation to the wider world. She feels that we can continue the tradition of being involved in our communities that originated in the 1920s and ‘30s in Europe. In sum, Dr. Wolfe asks and challenges, "We have so much to offer why don't we share it with the world."    Our Guest: Harriet Wolfe, M.D., is President of the International Psychoanalytical Association, Past President of the American Psychoanalytic Association, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, and Training and Supervising Analyst at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis.

In this episode of AFSPA Talks, COO Kyle Longton brings us through a discussion of chronic pain management with Hinge Health's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jeff Kraus. The two discuss chronic pain, the affects of working from home, how chronic pain relates to one's mental wellness, and more. Dr. Jeff Krauss graduated from Harvard College, earned his Medical degree from the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, and completed his residency in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Stanford University. On top of Dr. Krauss' full-time role at Hinge Health, he is also a Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford in the Department of Orthopedics, and continues to practice as a part-time Staff Physician at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System.

On a chilly morning in November, 2013, Deborah Cohan, MD, a clinical professor and program director at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, walked into an operating suite, her curly hair tucked under a cap, not to perform surgery but to undergo a double mastectomy for breast cancer. Within minutes, the sterile room began to enliven with R&B drumbeats, and the entire surgical team erupted into dance to Beyoncé’s “Get Me Bodied,” with Cohan in the center of it all. This flash mob video, captured by the anesthesiologist, went viral — with over eight million views to date — and even Beyoncé herself posted it on her Facebook page. “What better time to celebrate life,” said Cohan, “than when you’re facing death?” To be clear, for Cohan, dancing wasn’t about glossing over suffering with a forced smile, but about leaning into the body, literally dancing with fear and grief. Dancing was her way to optimize her body before surgery, to connect with the surgical team, and to embrace friends and family dancing virtually in solidarity with her. As an obstetrician-gynecologist who has performed thousands of ultrasounds and witnessed babies dancing in their mothers’ wombs, Cohan imagines that she, too, was dancing long before she was born. When she was three, she began learning highly choreographed methods like ballet and jazz. Then in 2011, she happened upon Dance Journey, a conscious practice where people danced freely, effortlessly, and, as she observed, ecstatically; these movements opened up in her a deep listening to her body and an awareness of the healing power within. It was in this spirit that she danced in the surgical suite. And in 2014, a year after her surgery, Cohan founded Foundation for Embodied Medicine (FEM), a nonprofit organization to bring this embodied wisdom to patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. A Harvard-trained physician, Cohan is an obstetrician who attends births at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and serves as the medical director of HIVE, caring for pregnant people living with HIV and promoting reproductive and sexual wellness for those living with and affected by HIV. Since 2005, there have been no babies born with HIV in San Francisco. In addition to her medical degree, Cohan holds a masters in public health from the University of California at Berkeley, and a fellowship in reproductive infectious diseases at San Francisco General Hospital. She also served as a member of the Department of Health and Human Services Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents. For Cohan, medicine and movement are deeply interwoven. She has studied with Anna Halprin of Life/Art Process, Tina Stromsted of Authentic Movement, and Valerie Chafograck of Dance Sanctuary and Movement Liberation. With an embodied approach that honors the inherent wisdom of our bodies and nature, she has served as a doula for those who are giving birth and those who are dying.  The flash mob video landed Cohan interviews on multiple mainstream media outlets, including Good Morning America and the Ellen DeGeneres Show, and inspired others to dance before their surgeries. She lives in Berkeley, California, with her two children and their dog. In her free time, she can be found causing mischief, singing to her plants, and spreading messages of love, joy, and interconnectedness.  Join us with this compassionate physician and expressive dancer in a call that will be part-conversation, part-workshop, with an invitation to explore body awareness, conscious movement, and embodied presence in a collective field.

Many people don't know what to say to their doctors if they have issues in their sex life. This is tough for us physicians too. We're often not sure what to tell our patients because we aren't comfortable with it too. Today's guest, wants us all to join the discussion around this important and often neglected topic.   To start helping patients with issues concerning sexuality you should: First, heal your own sexual issues Establish a setting in which patients feel comfortable with their vulnerability Communicate the idea that sexuality changes over a lifetime   About Dr. Sonia Wright Dr. Sonia Wright is a board-certified radiologist, a trained sexual counselor, and a life coach (rumor has it, she has also worked in a sex toy store). She received her education from Stanford University, the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, the Mayo Clinic, and the University of Michigan. Dr. Sonia is on a mission to help women embrace their sexuality as well as end the emotional pain and isolation associated with sexual difficulties. She believes wholeheartedly that all women deserve to experience pleasurable sexual intimacy. Dr. Sonia has a natural ability to put people at ease while discussing sensitive issues related to sex. She enjoys combining this natural ability with her medical knowledge, sexual counseling skills, and life coaching tools to create her unique brand of sex coaching. She tackles the hard issues by normalizing the situation and sharing helpful information while coaching from a caring and humorous perspective.   Healing Ourselves So We Can Help Others Most of us did not get training around sex and sexuality in medical school. Our patients often expect us to have answers. Yet, when we have our own issues around the topic, we may find ourselves unable to provide the help our patients require.  Dr. Sonia wants us to consider our own sexuality first. We need to have connections with our own bodies before we can help others with theirs. Dr. Sonia urges us to examine our thoughts and personal wishes around sexuality. Once a connection between the mind and the body is established, you can begin to move forward and help other women do the same.   Creating a Safe Space to Discuss Sexuality I get that a lot of people aren't comfortable with this topic. But vulnerability is a necessary part of improvement. Dr. Sonia describes how to establish a “zone of sexual safety” so that women can get as comfortable as they need to be. When we can embrace vulnerability, we can make meaningful gains in whatever sexual issues we want to address. To create this safe setting, Dr. Sonia describes how to address topics of consent, emotional and physical safety, and desires. Sex is about pleasure, something everyone deserves. When this idea is prioritized, we can approach deeper issues.   Homework for Women Physicians What can you do to address your own issues concerning sexuality? How can you help your patients feel more comfortable talking about their own?   In This Episode  The deficit that a lack of training in sex and sexuality creates [2:35] How to help patients get started on their journey [6:40] Getting comfortable with your journey of sexual self-discovery [11:50] Helping patients with a different libido than their partners [15:30] How sex drive changes over a lifetime [22:25]   Quotes “As physicians, patients look to us to have an understanding about what to tell them about sex and sexuality. But we don't have the training and may be struggling with our own issues.” [3:39] “When you are comfortable with your own sexuality and you realize that it doesn't have to be perfect or the way society says it should be, then you make room to be able to talk to and help other people.” [6:22] “There's no concept of normal, but society wants there to be a normal amount in terms of libido.” [17:13] “We adapt exercise routines and our nutrition for our changing body. We need to adapt our concept of sex and sexuality as well as our body changes.” [22:51]   Resources Mentioned Find Dr. Sonia Wright online Come as You Are by Emily Nagoski Learn more about accredited coaching with Dr. Amelia Bueche  Find Dr. Amelia Bueche Online Follow Dr. Amelia Bueche on Facebook | Instagram | YouTube Check out the full episode page here Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative

It may not seem like it at first glance, but intimacy and salary negotiations actually have a lot in common for women. The struggle to advocate for yourself doesn't just show up at work, it also shows up in the bedroom.    Finding our voices is important in every area of our lives, and when it comes to sex and intimacy, it feels even harder than asking to get paid what we're worth. Why is intimacy a challenging subject for so many women? How do you put forth the effort to advocate for yourself in every area of our lives?   In today's episode, I'm joined by pediatric radiologist turned sex coach extraordinaire, Dr. Sonia Wright. She talks about how she's helping women own their intimacy and get more of what they want.   Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    How to change your intimacy equation  If you're chronically undervaluing your intimacy, how do you find your voice?    The pleasure gap  Women aren't just dealing with the gender pay gap, we're also grappling with the pleasure gap. How does this gap actually show up in our sex lives? How to create the zone of sexual safetyTalking about intimacy can feel really awkward. How do we create a high trust environment that allows us to find common ground with our partners?   Guest Bio    Dr. Sonia Wright is a board-certified radiologist, a sexual counselor, a certified life coach and host of the Midlife Sex Coach.

Is it really true that having a greater number of sexual partners necessarily means you have a greater risk of sexually transmitted infections (STDs)? Nope! It turns out that a lot of the things we think we know about STDs are just plain wrong, which is why this episode of the Sex and Psychology Podcast is all about the surprising secrets of STDs. I interviewed Dr. Ina Park, an associate professor at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine. She is author of the new book Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs. Some of the topics we explore in this episode include: Is everyone equally vulnerable to STDs? Do some people have more natural immunity? How does STD contact tracing work, and what kinds of reactions do people tend to have when a contact tracer informs them that they might have an STD? Can an STD really ‘highjack' your brain and change your sexual behavior to facilitate viral transmission? What's the connection between pubic hair grooming and STDs? Are online dating apps responsible for increasing rates of STDs? How do you have effective conversations with a sex or dating partner about STDs?

It turns out that a lot of the things we think we know about STDs are just plain wrong, which is why this episode of the Sex and Psychology Podcast is all about the surprising secrets of STDs. I interviewed Dr. Ina Park, an associate professor at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine. She is also a Medical Consultant at the Division of STD Prevention at the CDC, and Medical Director of the California Prevention Training Center. She is author of the new book Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs. Some of the topics we explore in this episode include: The conventional wisdom is that STDs are caused by promiscuity—but is it really the case that having more partners necessarily translates to greater risk? Is everyone equally vulnerable to STDs? Do some people have more natural immunity? How does STD contact tracing work, and what kinds of reactions do people tend to have when a contact tracer informs them that they might have an STD? Potential contestants on The Bachelor are screened for STDs before coming on the show, and a positive result is the most common reason for disqualification; however, a lot of people receive false positives because certain tests have low accuracy rates. So is this a good idea or a bad idea? Can an STD really ‘highjack' your brain and change your sexual behavior to facilitate viral transmission? How do our constantly evolving sexual practices affect STDs? What's the connection between pubic hair grooming and STDs? Are online dating apps responsible for increasing rates of STDs? How do you have effective conversations with a sex or dating partner about STDs?

Today, I'm joined by Dr. Sonia Wright - a board-certified radiologist, a sexual counselor, and a certified life coach. She received her education from Stanford University, the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, the Mayo Clinic, and the University of Michigan. Dr. Wright completed her life coach training from Brooke Castillo's The Life Coach School and Learning Journeys. Sonia is on a mission to help women embrace their sexuality and end the emotional pain and isolation associated with sexual difficulties. Dr. Wright believes wholeheartedly that all women deserve to experience pleasurable sexual intimacy. When she first started her author journey, "My original plan was to write my book, and I had this plan that I would go away for the weekend to Las Vegas." January came along, and her plans didn't work out. Sonia didn't get to write her book. To build her public speaking platform during COVID, Dr. Wright reached out to her network to be a guest on LIVE events and then started reaching out to podcasters to spread the word about her coaching and speaking availability. "I learned about my niche that really helped me hone in on the types of people that would listen to my message and make sure I directed my message in that direction." At first, Facebook LIVE speaking worked out the best to bring in clients to interact with people. After her website was built, she had more people contacting her through her website after listening to her interview as a guest on another podcast.

Dr. George Rutherford is the director of the Institute for Global Health and the head of the Division of Prevention Medicine and Public Health at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine. He is also a professor at the School of Public Health at the University of California Berkeley. He has also been very involved in California’s COVID-19 response, and has published a number of articles on the topic. Today, he will discuss the trends in COVID-19 transmission. Dr. Rutherford explains that it is a dangerous misconception that outdoor activity is a safeguard for preventing the spread of COVID-19. Without social distancing, masks, and limiting group sizes, the risk can still be dangerous. Another contentious issue with which Dr. Rutherford is dealing is the reopening of schools. Under the age of ten, children are less likely to contract and transmit COVID-19, so as students enter middle school age, the issue becomes more difficult. As we’ve seen in some prison systems, herd immunity rests somewhere between 60 and 70 percent, which is ten times the infection rate we are currently experiencing, so it’s not something on which we should rely as we move forward. Go to NoLabels.org to learn more about how we are bringing together a bipartisan group of public and private leaders working to solve America’s toughest problems.Follow No Labels and Gridlock Break Twitter • Facebook • Instagram

The harm caused by herpes simplex viruses (HSV) 1 & 2 often arises not from the pathology of the viruses themselves but rather from the stigma and shame associated with a positive diagnosis. In this episode, we attempt to lay a clear foundation for understanding not only how these viruses work but also what occurred to change the perception of them from “innocuous infection” to “dreaded disease”. Starting us off with his firsthand account is the incredible Courtney Brame, founder and host of Something Positive for Positive People, a non-profit organization and podcast that aims to provide community support, healing resources, and educational discussions around positive HSV and other STI diagnoses as well as larger issues in sexuality and physical and mental health. We then dive into the meat of the episode, tackling such questions as “how do these viruses hide out in your body?”, “what kind of treatment is available?”, “where did these viruses even come from?” and “why is there such a huge amount of stigma and what can we do about it?”. To help us address this last question is our other fantastic guest, Dr. Ina Park, Associate Professor, University of California San Francisco School of Medicine and Medical Consultant, Division of STD Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We chat with Dr. Park about her new book, Strange Bedfellows, when to have “the talk” with your kids, and how we as individuals can break down some of the shame surrounding a positive STI diagnosis. To learn more about Something Positive for Positive People, head to the website spfpp.org or check out the SPFPP podcast wherever you get your podcasts! You can also follow Courtney on Instagram: @honmychest. And don’t forget to pre-order Dr. Ina Park’s upcoming book Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs, expected February 2021.

This month’s episode is about the way the brain processes loss and why we experience the emotion of grief. We’ll be thinking about the evolutionary relevance of grief, how the brain modulates it’s own experience of grief, and what actually happens in the brain when it experiences what is considered “normal grief." We will also be looking at the healing power of music by exploring how one organization has used it to help countless youth during times of loss. The scientific interests of our first guest, Dr. Mary-Frances O’Connor, lie in understanding emotions at the experiential and physiological level. Her work has primarily focused on a bereaved population due to the wide-ranging emotional responses to this specific event of loss. In particular, she studies the neurobiological, immune, and autonomic parameters that vary between individual grief responses. Her techniques have included functional and structural neuroimaging, immune and endocrine analysis of saliva and blood, and psychophysiological assessment of heart rate variability. Continually interested in novel ways to evoke emotion, especially grief, Dr. O' Connor uses personalized stimuli, reaction time paradigms, written emotional disclosure, and virtual worlds in her work. Our second guest, Dr. Peter Freed, is a psychiatrist in New York. He received his medical degree from University of California San Francisco School of Medicine and has been in practice for 20 years.
