Podcasts about medicine it

Today I get to welcome back Dr. Amy Novatt a board certified ob-gyn who generously offered her time in the past for monthly conversations about women's reproductive healthcare. She is now the host of GynoCurious, a program that explores the experience of being an ob-gyn,  the science that guides their practices  and the stories women- cis, trans and nonbinary, have shared with her as they seek health and wellness. Investigating what it means to be a healer and to be healed.It's not a medical show that tells you how much estrogen you should take or the scientific method used to evaluate data but instead, a conversation about the larger canvas looking at what its like to be a medical professional working with women and how patients experience the world of ob-gyn. Conversations like, what is it like sitting in the exam room with a thin sheet of paper covering your naked body? What has been the impact of a cancer diagnosis? What it is like to go through the menopause? She hopes to talk about our fears, sexual explorations and aging adventures with respect, inquiry and science. For her, knowledge and awareness brings awe, authority and autonomy.Today we expand upon some of the topics that she's covered on the show like the biological design of women as caretaker, the impact of hormones on life and the lack of external understanding or support for how they impact women, the corporatization of medical care and the problems that ensue, how the medical profession has let down women since it's inception, how to advocate for yourself when it comes to healthcare, and how we need to break the system in order to rebuild it. Whew...If you have a topic that is a good fit for GynoCurious, be in touch with Dr. Novatt via Radio Free Rhinecliff.Following our conversation I shared from this article, "Sexism in Medicine: It's Not All in Her Head," and chatted about International Women's Day and the many Virtual Events that are taking place this year.Lastly, here's your New Moon Report. It's so perfectly anti-patriarchal.Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.Our show music is from Shana Falana!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFYITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCAFollow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast

Deb Helfrich is a truly unique individual. She practically raised herself in the Carnegie Library where she grew up, reading at college level at around 2nd grade. Adults and children left her to her own curiosity, with little interest or effort to find out what made her tick. It wasn't until she went to college, after advocating at her local school district to adjust the policy so she could graduate from high school in three years, that she finally found peers who could not only understand her, but challenge her in a way she hadn't experienced before. It was her time at Carnegie Mellon University that helped develop her into a thinker who could also translate deep and complex thought to language that was approachable and applicable to everyday life. I'm a big believer in surrounding myself with diversity of every kind, including thought. What other way can we be truly curious and demonstrate our desire for personal and professional growth? Diversity of thought includes everything from political views to religion, and everything in between. Deb crosses pretty much every boundary, challenging those in her orbit to open our minds, consider our biases, and develop our ability to listen intensely to what isn'tbeing said. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to get to know Deb, and to have interviewed her for this podcast. During our interview, we spoke about a variety of current research, including some very interesting ideas about human evolution. Here are a couple of links to articles about the possibility that certain current diagnoses of what are considered "disabilities" may actually be human evolutionary adjustments. From the National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine: "It stands to reason that a process as complex as human neural development involves multiple pathways, signaling and metabolic, in multiple cell types." And from Sage Journals: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/147470491100900209 "Disorders, like autism, that are so prevalent that they exceed common mutation rates are thought to have persisted because the genes responsible for them conferred some advantage in the ancestral environment."

SHOW NOTES: UNITED NATIONS DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS: The UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights [2] highlights this in Article 3: “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and the security of person.” And in Article 6 it says, “Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.” THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE states, “…that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” The question of what is a human life? Comes into play then: Many people will say “no one knows when human life begins” or “begins when there is a heart beat” or “begins when you can distinguish physically that it is human”, “life begins when the baby comes into the world”  1. Scientific journals and texts and SCIENCE has defined life beginning at Conception, we will talk about that more 2. A heart beat can be detected at 6 weeks Week 6: The neural tube closes Embryo four weeks after conception  Fetal development four weeks after conception Growth is rapid this week. Just four weeks after conception, the neural tube along your baby's back is closing. The baby's brain and spinal cord will develop from the neural tube. The heart and other organs also are starting to form. Structures necessary to the development of the eyes and ears develop. Small buds appear that will soon become arms. Your baby's body begins to take on a C-shaped curvature. 3. A baby begins to look human around 8-9 weeks Week 9: Baby's toes appear In the ninth week of pregnancy your baby's arms grow and elbows appear. Toes are visible and eyelids form. Your baby's head is large but still has a poorly formed chin. By the end of this week, your baby might be a little less than 3/4 inch (16 to 18 millimeters) long from crown to rump — the diameter of a penny. A human life, is not defined by how it looks, if a burn victim came into an ER and was not recognizable as “human” they wouldn’t stop treating them because it wasn’t a human ​​​​​​​4. Life is not determined by location. We call a single cell of bacteria found in space life. A human in a house is the same human when they walk out of a house or a hospital or a place that people think that they should be. So how do we define human life and can it be defined of when it begins: "Human development begins after the union of male and female gametes or germ cells during a process known as fertilization (conception)." "Fertilization is a sequence of events that begins with the contact of a sperm (spermatozoon) with a secondary oocyte (ovum) and ends with the fusion of their pronuclei (the haploid nuclei of the sperm and ovum) and the mingling of their chromosomes to form a new cell. This fertilized ovum, known as a zygote, is a large diploid cell that is the beginning, or primordium, of a human being." [Moore, Keith L. Essentials of Human Embryology. Toronto: B.C. Decker Inc, 1988, p.2] “The predominance of human biological research confirms that human life begins at conception—fertilization. At fertilization, the human being emerges as a whole, genetically distinct, individuated zygotic living human organism, a member of the species Homo sapiens, needing only the proper environment in order to grow and develop. The difference between the individual in its adult stage and in its zygotic stage is one of form, not nature. This statement focuses on the scientific evidence of when an individual human life begins.” -When Human Life Begins. American College of Pediatricians – March 2017 “An organism is defined as “(1) a complex structure of interdependent and subordinate elements whose relations and properties are largely determined by their function in the whole, and (2) an individual constituted to carry on the activities of life by means of organs separate in function but mutually dependent: a living being.” - Dr. Maureen L. Condic, a Berkeley-educated neurobiologist and professor at the University of Utah School of Medicine “It is clear that from the time of cell fusion, the embryo consists of elements (from both maternal and paternal origin) which function interdependently in a coordinated manner to carry on the function of the development of the human organism.  From this definition, the single-celled embryo is not just a cell, but an organism, a living being, a human being.”- American College of Pediatricians – March 2017 A baby is not an organ that is causing harm that needs to be removed due to the inconvenience that it is going to cause the women. It is an “organism” that was created and placed where it is supposed to grow and develop over the next 9 months. Location and age of a human does not negate their human rights Medical Abortion: Abortion Pill (RU-486) The abortion pill is given at the abortion clinic and blocks the pregnancy hormones that maintain the embryo (embryo is the early stage of a baby). It can only be used in very early pregnancy. It is recommended by the drug manufacturers that the patient make 3 visits to the clinic after taking the drug.  However, most abortion clinics combine visits and often, the woman has returned home when the cramping and bleeding begin with no medical supervision. Being alone (or at the least, without medical help), can put the woman in a frightening situation, leaving her with no one to ask if the amount of bleeding is normal or not. One in 100 women require surgery to stop the bleeding after taking the abortion pill.  As many as 8 out of 100 times, RU-486 does not end the pregnancy, leading the woman to require an additional procedure to end it. Surgical Abortion:  Aspiration is a surgical abortion procedure performed during the first 6 to 16 weeks gestation. Dilation & Curettage (D&C): Dilation and curettage is a surgical abortion procedure performed after 16 weeks gestation. They insert something 24 hours prior to dilate. The they go in, give the baby a shot to ensure its death, then they scrape away, use forceps to take larger parts out and suction Dilation and Extraction: The dilation and extraction procedure is used after 21 weeks gestation. The procedure is also known as D & X, Intact D & X, Intrauterine Cranial Decompression, and Partial Birth Abortion. Two days before the procedure, laminaria is inserted vaginally to dilate the cervix. Your water should break on the third day and you should return to the clinic. The fetus is rotated and forceps are used to grasp and pull the legs, shoulders, and arms through the birth canal. A small incision is made at the base of the skull to allow a suction catheter inside. The catheter removes the cerebral material until the skull collapses. The fetus is then completely removed. The availability of any procedure used in the third trimester is based on the laws of that state. Physical effects: “In a series of 1,182 abortions which occurred under closely regulated hospital conditions, 27 percent of the patients acquired post-abortion infection lasting 3 days or longer.” Stallworthy, “Legal Abortion, A Critical Assessment of Its Risks”, The Lancet (December 4, 1971), pp. 1245-1249.  While the immediate complications of abortion are usually treatable, these complications frequently lead to long-term reproductive damage of much more serious nature. “Whether microscopic or macroscopic in nature, the cervical damage which results during abortion frequently results in a permanent weakening of the cervix. This weakening may result in an “incompetent cervix” which, unable to carry the weight of a later “wanted” pregnancy, opens prematurely, resulting in miscarriage or premature birth. According to one study, symptoms related to cervical incompetence were found among 75% of women who undergo forced dilation for abortion.”  Wren, “Cervical Incompetence—Aetiology and Management”, Medical Journal of Australia (December 29, 1973), vol. 60. “A major study of first pregnancy abortions found that 48% of women experienced abortion-related complications in later pregnancies. Women in this group experienced 2.3 miscarriages for every one live birth. [20] Yet another researcher found that among teenagers who aborted their first pregnancies, 66% subsequently experienced miscarriages or premature birth of their second, “wanted” pregnancies.”  Russel, “Sexual Activity and Its Consequences in the Teenager”, Clinics in Ob&Gyn, (Dec. 1974). vol. 1, no. 3, pp. 683-698. Psychological effects:  1.     Relief, “get it over with”, temporary goes away quickly 2.     Then “numbness”  3.     Studies within the first few weeks after the abortion have found that between 40 and 60 percent of women questioned report negative reactions. [4] [25] [26] Within 8 weeks after their abortions, 55% expressed guilt, 44% complained of nervous disorders, 36% had experienced sleep disturbances, 31% had regrets about their decision, and 11% had been prescribed psychotropic medicine by their family doctor. [25]  Ashton, “The Psychosocial Outcome of Induced Abortion”, British Journal of Ob&Gyn. (1980), vol. 87, pp. 1115-1122.  Zimmerman, Passage Through Abortion, New York: Praeger Publishers, 1977. 4.     “The results revealed that at least one-third of the respondents have experienced psychological side effects. Depression, worrying about not being able to conceive again and abnormal eating behaviors were reported as dominant psychological consequences of abortion among the respondents. Decreased self-esteem, nightmare, guilt, and regret with 43.7%, 39.5%, 37.5%, and 33.3% prevalence rates have been placed in the lower status, respectively. Psychological Consequences of Abortion among the Post Abortion Care Seeking Women in Tehran Abolghasem Pourreza, PhD1 and Aziz Batebi, MDcorresponding author2 Why be Pro Life?: 60,236,165 AMERICAN LIVES LOST TO ABORTION SINCE 1973.* "Instead of helping women in Roe v. Wade, I brought destruction to me and millions of women throughout the nation," Norma McCorvey (Roe) “I saw filthy conditions in abortion clinics even when ‘Roe’ was supposed to clean up ‘back alley’ abortions. I saw the low regard for women from abortion doctors.” McCorvey’s case went to the Supreme Court which issued the Roe decision, legalizing abortion in all 50 states. Since 1973 there have been over 50 million abortions in the U.S. Yet as in the other abortion case Doe v. Bolton – decided the same day as Roe – neither plaintiff had an abortion, and both women eventually “had this radical conversion to the truth and dedicated their lives to really protecting the inherent dignity of the human person,” Mancini said. If we make abortion illegal how will we care for women:  We need to look at why women are getting abortions Do they feel like they can’t support their child: Create a place for pregnant women to go and get the support that they need in order to have this child Are they afraid that they wont get a promotion at work because they are pregnant? We need to look at how businesses are run Are they afraid they wont be successful? What are we teaching women about their success Abortion promotes the idea that humans are disposable  Promotes that a women reproductive system needs to be fixed Promotes that you do not need to be responsible for your actions​​​​​​​ St. Gianna Beretta Molla, pray for us! “Our body is a cenacle, a monstrance: through its crystal the world should see God.” - St. Gianna Beretta Molla “Love and sacrifice are closely linked, like the sun and the light.

WHAT IS NUTRITIONAL THERAPY? Achieving optimal health takes time, dedication & commitment Nutritional therapy uses evaluative tools in order to make bio-individual nutritional recommendations to balance body chemistry and achieve wellness. Nutritional therapy does not treat or diagnose illnesses/diseases. Rather, nutritional therapy understands that health is built on certain biochemical foundations and that balancing these foundations through healthy dietary and lifestyle choices will promote optimal health and vitality. Kevin Rutherford Nutritional Therapy Practitioner On Today's episode, we'll talk about : The role of exercise in weight loss The relationship between Leaky Gut and fat digestion and absorbtion FIT Test (Food inflammation test) Coca's Pulse test A quote from the former New England Journal of Medicine "“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.” And of course we'll take your calls and answer your questions.
