On today's podcast, we're going to talk with the founder of Dandy Doula, Xian Brooks, MPH, about the importance of intersectional birth work and amplifying the need for intersectional birth support for queer, trans, and BIPOC birthing bodies. Xian Brooks (he/him) is a public health professional from Louisville, Kentucky, where he is a community-based birth doula and a Master of Science in Nursing student. Xian completed his Bachelor's of Science in Public Health Education at North Carolina Central University and his Master's of Public Health in Community and Behavioral Health at the University of Colorado. Over time, Xian has accumulated a lot of experience in queer, trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming reproductive health education. Xian's training has equipped him to understand the root causes of perinatal death rates among Black individuals, especially how race, gender, sexual orientation, and class are not mutually exclusive when it comes to health disparities. Xian's lived experience recognizes that health disparities are more than just numbers on a page. Xian is currently working towards becoming a nurse-midwife because representation in healthcare is extremely important to Xian. He firmly believes it is necessary to overcome negative health outcomes and revolutionize healthcare. We talk about what inspired Xian to dive into the work of community and behavioral health as well as his journey as a nurse-midwife. We also discuss what intersectional birth work looks like and the importance to amplify the need to create safe perinatal spaces for queer, trans, and BIPOC birthing bodies.  Content warning: We mention transphobia, misgendering, deadnaming, racism, police violence, and birth trauma.

Sex education in the United States leaves a lot of people on the sidelines, from racial and ethnic minorities to LGBTQ+ youth to persons with disabilities. Part of the reason for this is that just nine (!) states require sex ed to be delivered in an unbiased and culturally appropriate way. So how can we make sex education work for everyone? My guest today is Dr. Tanya Bass, an award-winning sexuality educator who teaches at North Carolina Central University's Department of Public Health Education. She also founded the North Carolina Sexual Health Conference. We talk all about sex ed and how sex is depicted in the media—the good, the bad, and the very ugly of it all, and how we can improve it. Some of the topics we explore include: Who's currently being left out of sex ed and what this means for their sexual health. Why representation is important in sex education, and how can we make sex ed more accessible to diverse audiences. The importance of language in sex ed (and why we need to stop talking about race as a "risk factor" for STDs). What we can do to promote better, more equitable sex ed for everyone. Which TV shows and movies are getting depictions of sex right, and which ones are getting it wrong. How popular media portrayals of sex influence our behavior. How we can use media depictions of sex as teachable moments.

January is Radon Action Month. By the time someone meets me in the clinic with a lung cancer, it is too late for the intervention that should have taken place years before. How do we increase awareness about radon and reduce the risks in the population? This is exactly where the field of public health is so important, so for this Radon Action Month, I wanted to highlight two individuals in the public health pipeline- a teacher and student of public health. I am joined by Dr. Karen Elliott of Oregon State University as well as Mateo Olmos, one of her students. To Do: - Ensure your home is tested for radon– test every 2 years if you have not mitigated radon and after home upgrades. More information here - Watch and share Mateo's video educating about the importance of radon testing and action. - The EPA estimates around 1 in 5 schools may have elevated radon levels in at least one frequently-occupied room. Find out if your child's school has been tested for radon and whether it has been mitigated, particularly if close to or over the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L - If you are a health professional, learn more about patient outreach with this guide to radon. - For more on the science of radon and how we know it causes cancer, listen to last year's January podcast with Professor Bill Fields. - To hear a personal story about someone affected by radon, listen to the podcast with the home inspector Will Graff on Season 1 episode 22. - Learn more about the Northwest Radon Coalition here, and consider a donation to the American Lung Association here.

Meet Dr. Erica: Dr. Erica Steele DNM ND CFMP BCND is a Board Certified Naturopathic Doctor & Certified Functional Medicine PractitionerI always knew from an early age that I was going to be a doctor, my job in my journey and my career was to discover which type of doctor that I would become in time. At the time I had no idea that I would be a Naturopathic Doctor. My parents are both scholars, multi-degreed, and both instilled in me the desire to learn as well as think for myself. My mother was a nurse and is now a social worker, so for me, caretaking was considered common practice when helping people. She worked with a variety of patients in a variety of settings and while in school brought me to school with her to learn. As a young girl, I sat in organic chemistry classes and ran around labs learning complex structures before my maturity. I think this prepared me to be a functional medicine practitioner. This really created a deep understanding of how the body works on a cellular level. My father is in education and my stepmother was a geneticist. Again, I learned how to question things, think independently, and recognize the science to which the art of healing really took place, which prepared me to answer the clues created in functional medicine practice. Coupled with experiencing natural healthcare practices as well undergoing acupuncture, rebirthing, reiki attunements, and participating in native American spiritual work under the age of 12. All of this prepared my calling and my path to become a naturopathic doctor.As I grew up, a rebellious teen, I left my house to start my career in natural healthcare. At 16 years old, I was the youngest student in my class to complete a massage therapy program. I immediately left the program and began working gaining lots of various experiences across different facilities in natural healthcare. I worked in spas, organic spas, med spas, with chiropractors, in PT clinics, wellness centers, and massage clinics nationwide. I fell in love with the complexity of the body and my ability to help facilitate people's healing. I continued my education, going to school for neuromuscular therapy, in addition to various other manual therapy modalities as my career in massage therapy expanded before becoming a naturopathic doctor.I then was offered an opportunity to teach in massage therapy schools, as an anatomy & physiology instructor. This experience served me on many levels, honing my skills to teach people the body as well as gaining an even deeper understanding of anatomy, and physiology. From there, I decided to continue my education, while I gained experience both owning my own business, managing other people's businesses, and eventually completing my associate's degree in Psychology from the university of phoenix after various start stops in traditional community colleges in Southern California. Working full-time and being a single mother proved to be challenging when in turn balancing college education but I was determined to be a naturopathic doctor. I continued to persevere and not give up on my dreams while also teaching my daughter how to have a life and work balance.about2I was at a crossroads in my education as to the direction I would take and know that I wanted to be a doctor, but still unsure of which I did more research. I studied allopathic doctors, such as MDs, and the like. Although I appreciated their philosophies it did not resonate with me, and what I felt G-Ds calling was from me. I further explored being a holistic doctor including chiropractic, osteopathy, and naturopathy, especially since I worked with many of them throughout the years. Although I appreciated chiropractic care, I did not see myself as a chiropractor especially since I had already done manual therapy for so many years. Being an Osteopath disheartened me since they had abandoned much of their holistic practices to merge with the allopathic trends. When I further uncovered being a naturopathic doctor, it really resonated with me, but what made me hesitant was the lack of credibility it had in the medical community. Functional Medicine quenched my thirst by biochemistry and understanding on a detailed level how the body works. My deepest desire was to bring forth the science combined with the art of healing. I saw that this was a perfect blend in healthcare, just hoped that people would understand and respect why I would take this path. Especially since there were so few credible naturopathic doctors at the time, and so much overall miseducation as well as fear.I continued my education gaining a Bachelors in Natural Healthcare Sciences, yet still wavered on which direction I would take with my doctoral training. I was passionate and loved the practice of naturopathy, yet still was concerned that it would be an uphill battle politically, and socially. Naturopathic Doctors are not recognized, and the ones that are intended to be considered primary care physicians. Fundamentally, I believe that we are not primary care physicians, nor do I want to be a primary care doctor. I also choose not to prescribe medications or have an interest in performing surgeries. I also believe that we are not adequately trained to diagnose and manage pathologies, nor do I believe that is our place in healthcare. I greatly respect and work integratively with all doctors, respecting and deeply understanding our place in medicine, healing, and healthcare. I thoroughly believe in all the nature doctors before me, interesting my patients in aspects of their human frame, lifestyle, and health behaviors. I believe that our jobs are to motivate, inspire, and empower our patients to live healthier lives and not to diagnose and manage diseases using collections of symptoms. As I saw more and more of the new breed of naturopathic doctor that came into the scene wanting to replace allopathic doctors, merge with, or be considered them I began to generate more of my urge to pursue traditional naturopathy. I also saw that a traditional naturopathic doctor became no more than the herb or supplement salespeople, not running appropriate labs to understand the human condition with little to no conversation about diets if, as well as limited scientific education. This truly drove me over the edge and allowed me to finally make my decision to become a traditional naturopath with deep biochemical and laboratory diagnostic training. This is why I added the functional medicine component to my training to help me deeply understand the biochemical component of the person.I researched and found a traditional naturopathic school that emphasized laboratory sciences and functional medicine. I completed my Doctorate in Natural Medicine first and then my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from the University of Natural Medicine, which had an emphasis in laboratory diagnostics. I overlapped my education with a Certification in Functional Medicine from Functional Medicine University; which in all was a total of 12 years of study in natural healthcare sciences.Falling in love with homeopathy and understanding many diseases end in the physical body, not beginning, and that disease is really dis-ease generated from mental, emotional, psychosocial, as well as spiritual manifestations led me to study more in human behavior in which I completed a 500-hour Clinical Hypnotherapy training, in addition to Handwriting analysis to further understand the subconscious and conscious mind behaviors. Most recently, I completed a second Bachelors in Alternative Medicine from Everglades University and am currently pursuing a Masters in Public Health Education with an emphasis in Complementary and Alternative Medicine to further understand the political environment and public healthcare policies already established within our field. I am continuing an additional subspecialty in Integrative Medicine to create more of a bridge between naturopathic and allopathic medicine while looking forward to continuing to a Ph.D. in Mindbody Medicine. Ultimately, I am a lifelong learner and am on a mission to help others reclaim their health using the healing power of nature finding the causes of their imbalances in health instead of just addressing the symptoms. I have committed my life to this practice and am building a practice that can not only stand the test of time, yet also facilitate healing in millions of families across the globe. I am truly passionate about my mission and vision to help families live naturally as a naturopathic doctorhttps://www.holisticfamilypracticeva.com/

Kelley Johnson, Ph.D., is a professional sexologist. She is a passionate sex educator who provides comprehensive sex education to private and charter schools, as well as small groups. In her work as a sexologist, Kelley guides couples and individuals in resolving sexual issues through non-medical modalities that work within their value system. As a young person, Kelley was profoundly fascinated by human sexuality, so much so that her high school peers sought her for information and education on sex, sexuality, and sexual health. Today, Kelley is a champion of body and sex-positivity, and her doctoral degree in Human Sexuality and master’s in Public Health Education reflects her advocacy for a sexually-just society. In this episode, Kelley and I address sexual issues couples face in their relationships. We explore challenges around sexual incompatibility and having polarized differences in sexual desires. We emphasize people’s responsibilities as sexual beings and underscore the importance of educating children on sex and body positivity. We discuss how couples can create a healthy environment that encourages their intimacy as well as how they can support each other in transforming a history of sexual abuse, trauma, and taboo into a healthy sex life.   “You are responsible for your sexual self. While sexuality as a couple is something that’s shared and that you work on together, there is also separateness.” - Kelley Johnson   This week on Relationships!

## AnthroAlert## Episode 37: Traditional FoodwaysOriginally aired 23 February 2018 on bullsradio.orgGuest Jacquelyn Heuer discusses the topic of her master's research.> I am currently in my first year here at the University of South Florida, where I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Applied Medical Anthropology and a MPH in Public Health Education. I received my B.A. in Anthropology from Grand Valley State University with a minor in German in 2014. I hold a M.A. from New Mexico State University in Anthropology with graduate minors in Native American Studies and Food Studies, in addition to a Graduate Certificate in Public Health. During my time at New Mexico State University, I worked in the Office of Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer, where I utilized my anthropological skillset to help assess and promote new inventions and technologies that were being produced in the university setting. Meanwhile, my research for my Master’s thesis sought to examine the multi-generational perceptions that influence the views that American Indians have of traditional foodways. In order to do this, I worked with culinary students and professional chefs to document their viewpoints on food sovereignty and authenticity in indigenous cuisine. In addition, I also worked for a non-profit organization in New Mexico, La Semilla Food Center, where I helped the organization promote and evaluate their mobile market, which was in its pilot year.> Whether we realize it or not, food is intrinsic to our daily lives, shaping our worldviews while nourishing our bodies. Food, or more specifically, the selection and preparation of it, embodies our cultures and beliefs. My Master’s thesis research at New Mexico State University explored the ways in which American Indian culinary students and professional chefs perceived traditional foodways, and in turn, how these multi-generational perceptions influenced their use of these foods in their kitchens. This research allowed me to explore the complexities surrounding traditional foodways, from the continuing colonization of American Indians to the emergence of haute indigenous cuisine in the culinary world.## Podcast link## Video link## Album art photo credit:Oliver Thompsonhttps://flic.kr/p/9zVPYBCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/## Intro music credit:Awel by stefsaxhttp://ccmixter.org/files/stefsax/7785http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix) by spinningmerkabahttp://ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/There's A Better WAY ! by Loveshadowhttp://ccmixter.org/files/Loveshadow/34402https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Jungle Tracking" by pingnewshttp://ccmixter.org/files/pingnews/13481https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Take Away Quotes:“My background is actually in social work, so I worked with a community foundation in Chicago, really thinking about how we can reach vulnerable populations, how we can support families and women and girls, and a lot of our work focused around places, so where people were and how that impacted their lives and their health and their choices. So when the opportunity to work with a Plan4Health project came up, I was really excited to take this to a deeper level and really think about how the design of our communities can impact our lives.” “APA is a membership organization. We have about 38,000 members across the country. Our members are working at all different levels, with local communities, in regions, really thinking about how we can create healthy, vibrant communities.” “APA was awarded a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in September of 2014, so we are in our second-and-a-half year of the project, and, really, the goal of the award and the goal of our overall project is to prevent chronic disease. So, how do we do that? We can make it easier to walk and bike and increase opportunities for physical activity, and we can also make it easier to get healthy food.” “I think a lot of times we think about health equalling healthcare, but, really, most of your health is not happening at the doctor’s office, it’s happening in your daily life.” Resources:http://infiniteearthacademy.com/podcast/blue-zones-and-the-secret-to-living-to-100/ (Infinite Earth Radio Episode 09:...
