About healing, not headlines. And most of all, about the value of every woman and every life.https://lozierinstitute.org/team-member/ingrid-skop-m-d-facog/Recent News Summary:Leading up to a major budget vote in Congress, the U.S. House Rules Committee held an intense 21-hour hearing packed with high-profile Democratic leaders — including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Whip Katherine Clark, and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi — pushing for amendments that included increased welfare spending without work requirements and continued funding for Planned Parenthood.One of the central points of contention was the claim that proposed budget cuts represented the “largest cut to health care in American history.” Critics argue that equating abortion with healthcare is misleading and point to serious concerns about Planned Parenthood's practices.Reports — including a disturbing exposé from The New York Times — have shed light on troubling conditions in some Planned Parenthood facilities, including botched procedures, leaking sewage, and poor medical oversight. These revelations come amid ongoing scrutiny of the organization's influence and funding, with statistics showing: Nearly 400,000 abortions annually performed by Planned Parenthood — about 40% of all abortions in the U.S. A 97% abortion rate for pregnant women who visit their clinics. A decline in other services: cancer screenings, pap smears, and contraception services have all dropped sharply. $2 million per day in taxpayer funding still flows to the organization, despite these declines. Meanwhile, over 5 women have reportedly died from complications related to abortions performed there.Critics also highlight that there are over 15 times more community health centers nationwide that provide broader, life-affirming care without performing abortions — offering a more comprehensive and safer option for women in need.House Speaker Mike Johnson vowed to push the bill through by July 4th, saying the time has come to redirect federal resources toward truly compassionate and high-quality women's healthcare.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

Sometimes the signs of heart trouble in women don't look like what we expect—they show up as hot flashes, brain fog, or even a racing heart. When I sat down with Dr. Jayne Morgan, an incredible Cardiologist and Women's Health Advocate, we talked about how these often-overlooked symptoms during menopause can actually be clues about what's going on with your heart. We're so used to brushing things off as “just hormones,” but Dr. Jayne explains why now is the time to tune in and take them seriously. Dr. Jayne —who's not only a top Cardiologist but also Vice President of Medical Affairs at Hello Heart—is passionate about making sure women get the full picture when it comes to heart health. She breaks down how estrogen protects your heart, what happens when those levels drop, and why menopause can be a turning point for understanding your risk. We also talked about what real, thorough heart testing should include (because yes, there's more to it than just cholesterol). Her approach is practical, empowering, and honestly—something every woman deserves to hear. Women need to feel empowered, not dismissed, when they bring up symptoms—and that starts with education. We're talking about prevention, clarity, and how to stop second-guessing what your body's trying to tell you. And in line with this we'd like to empower our women, mothers especially, we'll be having a Mother's Day Sale from May 7-11 ‘25 where we'll get you up to 25% off with bundles of your favorite products.

[00:12:28] Prevention of heart disease. [00:15:47] Aggressive management of risk factors. [00:19:25] Statin therapy, hormonal management, lowering cholesterol. [00:23:57] Pregnancy as a stress test.

[00:32:22] Who can have hormone replacement therapy? Memorable Quotes: "All of these symptoms in perimenopause and menopause are actually biomarkers for heart disease, biomarkers for stroke." [00:06:47] – Dr. Jayne Morgan "Heart disease is the number one killer of women, and you, as a patient or a member of the public, do not have the ability to discern whether your palpitations that you're having at home are related to your perimenopause or related to a real heart issue that could pose an impending heart attack."

Welcome to another episode of Beyond the Thesis With Papa PhD—a podcast where we dive deep into what happens after the PhD and how you can leap from academia into a diverse universe of fulfilling careers. This week, host David Mendes sits down in-person with Rayana Luna, a seasoned expert in medical affairs with over a decade of experience spanning multiple leadership roles, industry transitions, and a consulting business: Your MSL Coach. In this in-depth conversation, Rayana shares her journey from doing a PhD and feeling locked into the traditional academic path, to discovering the world of medical science liaison (MSL) roles and climbing the career ladder in medical affairs. She opens up about the realities of breaking into the industry, the variety of entry-level roles available (including MSLs, medical writers, and more), and sheds light on salary expectations—spoiler: they're generally higher than postdoc salaries! Rayana also addresses common hurdles PhDs face when shifting careers, like learning to “sell” yourself beyond an academic CV, mastering LinkedIn, and networking with authenticity. Packed with actionable advice, inspiring stories, and a deep dive into what medical affairs teams actually do in big pharma, this episode is a must-listen for anyone considering taking their research skills Beyond the Thesis. Rayana Luna's career journey is a testament to growth and adaptability within the medical affairs field. Starting out, Rayana observed that roles like medical science liaison (MSL), medical advisor, and medical writer not only offered higher starting salaries than traditional postdoctoral positions, but also provided abundant opportunities for advancement. Over the span of ten years, Rayana changed positions six times, quickly climbing the career ladder by focusing on collaborative environments and personal fulfillment over prestigious titles or starting pay. Her story encourages valuing meaningful work and positive teamwork, reinforcing that career progression comes naturally when you do what you love and build strong professional relationships. What we covered in the interview: Career Progression is Fast & Rewarding: Entry-level roles like medical affairs fellow or MSL may seem humble, but with consistent performance and strategic networking, career (and salary) growth can be rapid. “Don't get hung up on initial titles; focus on enjoying your work and collaborating with great people.” Networking & Self-Advocacy are Essential: Start intentional networking early (don't wait until you need a job!) and tailor your LinkedIn to what you WANT to do—not just what you've done. Your visibility and authentic connections can open unexpected doors. Your Advanced Degree Matters: Finishing your PhD is increasingly required for most roles in medical affairs and opens many more doors for your industry trajectory. Don't give up in the final stretch—your perseverance will pay off. If you're prepping for your next step, focus on crafting a standout LinkedIn profile, invest in building genuine connections, and keep an open (and growth-oriented) mindset.
