Digital surveillance is becoming increasingly threatening to the reproductive rights of women and pregnant people in America after the fall of Roe v. Wade. Behavioral data collected from apps can be used to catalog — and criminalize — our health care choices. In this “wild west” surveillance economy, who is responsible for safeguarding our privacy? Could more and more of our data be weaponized against us in this same way? How can technology be harnessed to help protect privacy, rather than further jeopardize it?  Host Raffi Krikorian talks to people working to protect reproductive freedom in an ever-changing landscape. Guests include Sue Dunlap, the President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Los Angeles; Melanie Fontes Rainer, Director of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Office for Civil Rights; Kevin Williams, VP of digital products at Planned Parenthood; Amy Merrill, digital director and co-founder of Plan C; and Congressman Ted Lieu (D-CA).

What the FUCK is going on in Columbus County, North Carolina? Courtney Deborah Heater was a beautiful, young, and vibrant woman who decided to give love a chance, and move from her home in Illinois, to Nakina, North Carolina, to be with her boyfriend Julian Fipps. Courtney thought she was being welcomed into a loving, and God-fearing family. What Courtney didn't know was she was about to be thrown into an unhealthy family dynamic, with a lengthy arrest history between both Julian and his father Anthony, and Julian's substance use challenges. After being brutally attacked by Julian in the street, and the attack being reported by neighbors, Courtney was admitted to the E.R. in September of 2019. According to Columbus County, the neighbors were not interviewed, and there is no incident report, nor was Julian ever charged. Why weren't the neighbors interviewed? Why was Julian never charged? Why is there no record of a report according to Columbus County? On February 2nd, 2020, Julian Fipps makes a confusing series of 911 calls, alleging that Courtney is aspirating, but insisting she never did drugs. Her body was found cold, and in a state of lividity, indicating she was obviously deceased for some time - yet Columbus County Sheriff's Office told EMS that they found a pulse, contradicting what they stated in the investigation report (she had no pulse). Courtney's body was found in a BEATEN state, with the autopsy noting dozens of contusions, blunt force trauma to the head, a mysterious mark that resembles a tire on her ankle, fractured ribs, and many other injuries. Yet the cause of death was ruled as an overdose, with no manner of death listed. There is no listed route of administration, and no drugs or paraphernalia were found on scene. Julian changed his story several times, and in one document it is recorded that Courtney began to throw up at midnight, yet the first 911 call isn't placed until 3:24. WHAT HAPPENED TO COURTNEY HEATER? WHY WAS THE STATE OF HER BODY NOT INVESTIGATED? In this episode I dive into the Fipps family, and their close ties with Columbus County Sheriff Jody Greene, who recently resigned after his blatant racism came to light. Yet, somehow, Jody Greene was recently re-elected as sheriff, and is set to return to office in December. Listen to the episode to learn more about the absolute SHIT SHOW that is Columbus County, North Carolina. Get angry, listeners.

In the past, hiring decisions were made by people. Today, some key decisions that lead to whether someone gets a job or not are made by algorithms. The use of AI-based job interviews has increased since the pandemic. As demand increases, so too do questions about whether these algorithms make fair and unbiased hiring decisions, or find the most qualified applicant. In this second episode of a four-part series on AI in hiring, we meet some of the big players making this technology including the CEOs of HireVue and myInterview—and we test some of these tools ourselves.

The Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General is using the weight of a dozen audits to prod a major HHS into action. At issue are overpayments made to hospitals by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The IG has done repeated audits of the payment process and found problems, but isn't convinced it's getting through to CMS. For the details, Federal Drive host Tom Temin spoke with Truman Mayfield, the Assistant Regional Inspector General.

Morgan Shields is one of the few health policy researchers who focuses on quality of care and issues of coercion within inpatient psychiatry. Her research exposes how current healthcare settings are influenced by power imbalances, profit structures, and organizational priorities that are fundamentally misaligned with the human needs of individual patients. Dr. Shields completed her Ph.D. in Social Policy at Brandeis University and is currently an Assistant Professor at the Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis, where she also directs her own research group. She has published over 25 peer-reviewed articles in outlets such as Health Affairs, Psychiatric Services, and the JAMA Network. She has also completed several policy reports for entities such as the U.S. Health and Human Services Office, and has served as a legal expert in cases related to psychiatric patient discrimination. In doing so, her research has effected change at the state and federal levels, prompting internal investigations and structural reforms within agencies such as the Veterans Health Administration and the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health. In this interview, Dr. Shields discusses her current work, which aims to identify strategies for implementing patient-centered and equitable treatment within existing mental health care structures—toward a wholesale re-imagining of inpatient psychiatry.

Therapy for women often focuses on a unique set of challenges experienced by women in their lives and in society. Some mental health issues are much more common in women than in men, some only appear in women, or some mental health issues may affect all genders but impact women differently. The US Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health reported that more than 1 in 5 women in the United States experienced a mental health condition in the past year, such as depression or anxiety. And the Mayo Clinic has found that women are nearly twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with depression. In therapy, women are able to work through how to set healthy boundaries, make a shift in their lives, resolve marital issues, move through divorce or infidelity or change limiting beliefs with confidential support from a trained professional.  I asked Amanda E. White, founder of Therapy For Women and the popular @therapyforwomen Instagram account to talk about all things women, mental health, disordered eating, alcohol abuse, sobriety and so much more.  For full show notes and to access resources mentioned in the episode, head to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/130 Ready to drink less + live more?

Black adults living below the poverty line are more than twice as likely to report serious psychological distress than those with more financial security. Despite the needs, only one in three Black adults with mental illness receive treatment.

The Justice Department and various regulatory agencies continue to emphasize the importance of continuous improvement, testing and review as part of robust assessment procedures in an effective compliance program. The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Asset Control has specifically stated that a sanctions compliance program should include "a comprehensive, independent, and objective testing or audit function" so that a company can determine "how their program[] [is] performing and should be updated, enhanced, or recalibrated to account for a changing risk assessment or sanctions environment." The Health and Human Services -- Office of Inspector General has made similar statements underscoring the need to conduct compliance audits and testing. An important part of every compliance program focuses beyond the design and operation of the program to the important issue of whether the program itself is working. In this respect, DOJ and regulatory agencies have noted that CCOs should be striving to develop "continuous" monitoring systems and avoid "snapshots" in time. In order to execute such monitoring, compliance has to maintain broad access to operational data across all key functions in a company. This data has to be used to update regularly risk assessments, compliance policies and procedures and financial controls.In this Episode, Michael Volkov takes a broad review of testing and auditing of ethics and compliance programs.

2020 has been labeled the year of the unfortunate. From sickness to uncertainty, this year has made the whole world stop and think about what really is important to them. Thankfully, health and wellness has risen to the top of the list for many. As a holistic brand that believes in the health of the mind, body and the soul- we use this podcast to pour into our community and supplement those verbal vitamins needed to get through this thing we like to call life. In this podcast episode we talk about how a single airport experience gave light to Cancer preventative services and how a trip to Whole Foods paved the way to better understanding why antibiotics are losing their potency. Sometimes the greatest gift is being able to reflect on the events you have daily that plant seeds to a much bigger experience and opportunity to heal for you and your community down the line. The best way to ensure you are supporting your overall health would be to document your days in a way that allows you to decompress and explore your emotions and how you navigate your situations. We suggest journaling and stepping back from social media as a constant consumer and being strategic with your exposure to the hustle and bustle of the internet. After all, Ebony magazine recently cited that “ the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health,[ mentions that ] “African Americans are 20% more likely to report having serious psychological distress than non-Hispanic Whites.” Keep your crown sis. Don't let the stress of being “greatness in progress” get you down. Just take a deep breath as we wind down and out of this year. Breathing is also an amazing and underrated stress reliever. We dropped in the podcast that we are fans of Breathwrk. This app can help you to “utilize breathing exercises which can assist you in activating the parasympathetic nervous system and suppressing the sympathetic nervous system in order to respond to stress effectively. And we know Stress is out here lurking and looking for every opportunity to keep you company. This is why we like to  pour a cup of our Do Not Disturb CBD Infused Relaxation Tea every day. Make sure you order yours today. It is a great way to calm down after an enlightening hour of choosing the right carton of eggs at the grocery store along with the best Oil of Oregano to use for your premium home juicing products. You had to listen to the podcast to get that last line.

Rebekah Rotstein has always been interested in athleticism and movement: she began ice skating as a 3 year old, she took up ballet soon thereafter, worked as a student athletic trainer in college and developed a deep passion for Pilates in her 20's. There were many times in her young life when Rebekah was away from those closest to her and she had to learn early on how to advocate for herself. When she received an osteoporosis diagnosis at 28 and her doctors wanted to put her on a course of medication that would have had detrimental effects on her body, Rebekah again had to be her own advocate - she refused the medication and dove into research to help her understand what would improve her health. She successfully took charge of her health and ultimately developed the Buff Bones system to address bone and joint health, giving all her students the ability to be their own somatic advocate.    Bio Rebekah Rotstein is an industry leader for Pilates, bone health and movement education. She is the founder of the Buff Bones® exercise system for bone and joint health with trained instructors in more than 30 countries. A former ballet dancer, Rebekah worked in the Sports Medicine department of Smith College as a student athletic trainer. A diagnosis of osteoporosis at age 28 motivated her to advocate for others with low bone mass and to provide innovative education and programming for them. She has presented at numerous conferences in the Pilates industry, at the International Osteoporosis Foundation Worldwide Conference and for the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science. Rebekah is a member of the Bone Health Working Group of the Society for Women's Health Research, a member of the Ambassador Leadership Council for the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation, an ambassador for American Bone Health, and worked as a partner of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Women's Health.   Rebekah is launching a new 21-day challenge for Buff Bones® this spring! It's called "Restore and Reorganize" and it lays your foundation for a strong, resilient body regardless of osteoporosis or low bone density. It prepares you for any type of exercise and activities you do in daily life, so you can achieve proper form and avoid injuring yourself. Women in mid-life have long been ignored when it comes to workouts that meet them where they're at and where they want to be; this challenge recognizes your needs and paves the way for you to achieve your movement and bone health goals.

This episode is dedicated to all of the souls who could not find the light, who were stuck in the darkness and never made it out. Suicide rates among Black children and teenagers are rising at an alarming rate and challenging public perceptions that Black youth don't commit suicide. Tonight we take a look at these frightening and grim statistics and give you some tools to help your child or a loved one who might be suffering in silence. In June 2020, a CDC –Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - survey of more than five-thousand people – adults age 18 and above showed 40 percent reported struggling with mental health or substance abuse, and 11 percent seriously considered suicide. (Reference https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6932a1.htm) 2019 statistics released by the CDC –Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed: • Suicide was the tenth leading cause of death overall the in United States, claiming the lives of over 47, 500 people. • The second leading cause of death among individuals between the ages of 10 and 34, the fourth leading cause among individuals between the ages of 35 and 44 • And there were nearly two and a half times as many suicides (47,511) in the United States as there were homicides (19,141). Alarmingly, statistics also show that the suicide death rate among Black youth has increased faster than any other racial or ethnic group. In April of 2019, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) set up the Emergency Taskforce on Black Youth Suicide and Mental Health. A report released showed an alarming increase in the suicide rates among Black children and teenagers over the past several years, contradicting historical data showing lower rates of suicide among Black Americans and challenging the public perception that Black youth don't commit suicide. Statistical data shows a different reality: • Suicide is the second leading cause of death among Black children ages 10 to 19 (resource National Institute of Mental Health) • Black and African American teenagers are more likely to attempt suicide than White teenagers (9.8% v. 6.1%) (resource U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health) • 50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14 (resource World Health Organization) • Actual suicide death rates for Black girls ages 13 to 19 increased by 182% from 2001 to 2017 (resource 2019 study published in the Journal of Community Health) • Black children had 37% fewer visits to psychiatrists and 47% fewer visits to any mental health professional compared to white children.
