In today's episode, Stan talks about why we need to zoom out and stop looking at health from our "nutrition and fitness bubble" where we define health as being largely a result of nutrition and activity. We take a look at the social determinants of health, allostatic load, and the impact that stigma, discrimination, and racism have on an individual's health.We'll be covering this subject more in-depth with guests speaking about supporting LGBTQ+ clients, the social determinants of health, as well as allyship and anti-racism for fitness professionals.This is not a political podcast, but politics does play a role in these things. In today's episode, as well as in the show notes, evidence and science is cited. Science is not political and doesn't care what your opinions are. *Mic Drop*Get In Touch:Follow Stan On InstagramSchedule A Consulting CallFollow Better Coaching On InstagramListen To More EpisodesResources:Follow Dr. Jennifer Hutton on Instagram for Allyship informationThe Social Determinants Of HealthAllostatic Load - DefinitionAllostatic load burden and racial disparities in mortalityImpact of Stress and Strain on Current LGBT Health DisparitiesLearning from Transmasculine Experiences with Health Care: Tangible Inlets for Reducing Health Disparities Through Patient–Provider RelationshipsStigma, prejudice, discrimination and health
