Episode 233 of my Curate Your Health Podcast is out! Link below.   Susan Salenger is here to talk about how women need to advocate for themselves for health care. She interviewed women for a book she wrote, and she discovered that women, in many ways, put themselves last and this needs to change. Women need to put themselves first and go to the doctor when they don't feel well. She found that many people are unprepared when going to the doctor. It is advisable to write a list of all of your symptoms and medications you take. Many people get anxious at doctor visits so if you have a list, it will keep you on track. In her research, she found that a lot of women leave the appointment not understanding what the doctor was telling them and that they are embarrassed to ask questions. The more information and questions that you have, the better equipped you will be. Susan gives tips for women when the appointment doesn't go as planned. Some of these tips include: emailing the doctor for follow up information, writing down what the doctor said so you can do your own research and get a second opinion from someone with different training.     Susan Salenger is the author and researcher behind SIDELINED: How Women Can Navigate A Broken Healthcare System. Sidelined examines the many ways in which some women manage and sometimes mismanage their healthcare. (Released, April 2022)   Susan explores how women, typically the medical gatekeepers for their families, tend to be extremely conscientious about taking care of themselves, yet at the same time inadvertently undermine their own care. They often hesitate to call the doctor when they don't feel well and worry that their doctor visit will take time away from their families or work. They may hesitate to ask doctors the necessary questions and don't always comply with the doctor's instructions. Salenger's research reveals how conflicted many women are about the medical decisions they ultimately make.   Born and raised in Los Angeles, Susan attended UCLA to study English. After graduation, she worked alongside her husband Fred for 25 years at their production company, Salenger Films, which produced corporate training and development films distributed worldwide. Today, at age 81, Susan lives in Northern California to be near her incredible family which includes her two daughters, four grandchildren, a cat named Max and a dog named JD (Salenger).

It examines the many ways in which women have been conditioned not to act in their own best interest when it comes to their health.    It shines a light on the cultural history and gender bias in the medical community that have helped put women in this position. And it offers women practical advice to help them recognize these biases and better navigate the patient-doctor relationship.   You can purchase the book at: https://www.amazon.com/Sidelined-Women-Manage-Mismanage-Health/dp/1647424011/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr   Dr. Hammerstedt and her lifestyle coaching team can be found at www.wholisthealth.com and @wholisthealth on Facebook and Instagram as well as the Facebook group Midlife Wellness Collective.

Getting a second opinion is crucial, especially for complex or serious conditions. Women tend to describe their symptoms in an emotional way, which can lead to misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment. Tips for doctor visits include making a written list of symptoms, doing research on the diagnosis, and reframing what the doctor says. Be an informed patient and advocate for your own health Research and question medical advice, especially medications and treatments Consider the funding sources of scientific studies to identify potential bias Personal research can help evaluate the risks and benefits of treatments Gaslighting in healthcare is a significant issue for women Strength training is important for women's health and can help prevent frailty Watch on YouTube https://youtu.be/xJvLIk28YW8 Episode 85 Transcript

We'll be chatting with Susan Salenger, author of "Sidelined: How Women Can Navigate A Broken Healthcare System," as she sheds light on the barriers women face in accessing quality medical care. Susan opens our eyes to the harsh reality that, even in 2021, gender bias still runs rampant in the medical community. But here's the kicker – some of the barriers women encounter stem from within themselves. It's a double-edged sword, really.

Learn how to navigate a broken healthcare system. Susan Salenger is the author and researcher behind SIDELINED: How Women Can Navigate A Broken Healthcare System. Sidelined examines the many ways in which some women manage and sometimes mismanage their healthcare. Systemic issues plague our healthcare system—less funding for women's health research and gender biases can put lives at risk. I brought Susan on to dive deep into why this happens and what needs fixing.These are quotes from some of the women Susan interviewed for her book:"I told my doctors about my pain for years, but they told me it was all in my head...""My doctor said I needed a hysterectomy to relieve my symptoms that I was sure were just normal menopause. Unfortunately, I agreed to the surgery anyway. Why did I agree to that?” "If men had cramps, they'd have cured this by now..."These and countless other comments from women who've suffered at the hands of the healthcare industry are frighteningly common, but they don't have to be. Healthcare Disparities: Women face longer wait times for emergency treatment like heart attacks and are often misdiagnosed or prescribed antidepressants instead of receiving proper diagnoses.Research Funding Inequality: Female researchers receive less funding than their male counterparts, especially when researching diseases prevalent among women. This leads to limited knowledge about female bodies within the medical community.Importance of Second Opinions: The critical role second opinions play in diagnosing from different perspectives due to thousands of diseases sharing similar symptoms.Doctor-Patient Communication Tips: Writing down symptoms before an appointment helps both patient and doctor stay focused; repeating back what you heard ensures understanding; bringing someone along offers additional support.Medication Research & Cautionary Tales: It's crucial to research any new medication interactions thoroughly – even if there's only a small risk factor involved.Navigating Hospitals & Surgery Prep: Ensuring hospitals specialize in your specific condition/surgery type while also confirming surgeon experience levels can mitigate risks associated with treatments.Final Thoughts: This conversation sheds light on systemic issues within healthcare affecting women disproportionately. It empowers listeners with strategies for proactive self-care management by advocating assertiveness during medical appointments, thorough research practices, and demanding quality care without compromise.Remember to tune in next week as we continue breaking barriers and exploring more ways to achieve optimal wellness after 50!Find Susan on these 3 Social Media platforms: https://www.tiktok.com/@grandma.gains Where she shares her weight lifting tipshttps://www.instagram.com/susansalenger/https://www.facebook.com/suesalenger/

Since I consider women's healthcare a pressing issue, this episode is longer, coming in at just under an hour. Listening to it is a worthy investment of your time. In this episode of She's Not Done Yet: Conversations with women over 50, I (Becky Berry) talk with Susan Salenger, author of Sidelined: How Women Can Navigate a Broken Healthcare System. Sue's publicist reached out to me about her book. Since I, like most women, understand how broken our healthcare system is in the United States, I was intrigued. After reading Sidelined, I couldn't wait to interview Sue. In her book, she shares her research and knowledge about women's health, providing actionable strategies that can improve our health outcomes immediately. I particularly appreciated the context she created for this conversation in her chapter on how women have been regarded throughout history. It was both enlightening and disconcerting given how little has changed. At 81, Sue serves as both a role model and inspiration. In our conversation, Sue talks about the reluctance of many women to seek healthcare for themselves while not hesitating to obtain it for our families. The most powerful actionable strategy she shares is writing down a numbered list of what we want to cover when we see our doctors. Taking that list (a copy for them and a copy for us) will yield a more productive appointment - particularly if the doctor sees something on that list that is of more concern than we realize. One of my favorite parts of the book and our conversation covers the importance of getting 2nd opinions, particularly for complicated diagnoses. Sue points out that there are over 40,000 diseases and many of them have symptoms in common. She notes that it's not realistic to expect doctors to be familiar with all 40,000+ diseases, so obtaining that 2nd (or 3rd) opinion increases our chances of receiving the correct diagnosis. She also talks about one of my particular struggles with going for that 2nd or 3rd opinion, I don't want to hurt the doctor's feelings. Which by the way, is right in line with not wanting to bother the doctor, or impose on the doctor when we're not sure what's going on with our bodies!! SMH (smack my head)!! It was an enlightening and educational conversation. I hope you enjoy it.

Susan Salenger discusses her book Sidelined:How Women Can Navigate a Broken Healthcare System which is about empowering women's healthcare advocacy. Motivation for writing Sidelined and advocating for women's health Susan detailed her own unnecessary surgery experience and subsequent research revelations about women's health inequalities that inspired her to write Sidelined. She aims to inform women directly on their rights and resources.Common reasons women don't question doctors Susan's interviews found women prioritize others' needs above their own health due to busyness. They hesitate to question doctors or seek second opinions to avoid conflict. This passive approach risks health consequences from unaddressed misdiagnoses.Importance of getting second opinions and understanding diagnosesGiven diseases' symptom mimicry, second opinions are important checks, especially for serious treatments. Women should clarify diagnoses by researching definitions and asking what else it could indicate. Doctors see expectations not full pictures.Tips for taking control of your health and doctor visits Women should prepare prioritized symptom lists and record visits. They should clarify diagnoses, treatments, and further questions for the doctor. Bringing advocates and repeating back discussions ensures understanding in the rushed system.Vitality and exercise in the 80s, genetics, and medical gaslighting Susan attributes her energy to exercise, genetics and purposeful work. She discussed ageism in medicine like her mother's misdiagnosed drug reaction. Her next book addresses gaslighting women's physical symptoms as "all in their heads".Link for Sidelined: https://a.co/d/5LiTuK4TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@grandma.gainsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/susansalenger/?hl=enLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-salenger-a4a02716Now accepting clients, book a free 10-15 minute quick chat to talk more about you and your goals! http://www.menopotmeltdown.com/book-quickchatFree No BS Menopause Secrets Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/kathykatalyst/?ref=shareFor all my social links: https://bit.ly/kathykatalystDo you have a question that you would like answered on the show?

In this podcast episode, we welcome Susan Salenger, the inspiring author of "SIDELINED: How Women Can Navigate A Broken Healthcare System." At 80 years old, standing at 4'10", Susan is an accomplished author and an avid powerlifter, a testament to her belief in personal strength and resilience. She shares her journey from working in Salenger Films, a company specializing in corporate training films, to becoming a voice for women struggling within a healthcare system that often fails them. Susan's transition into authorship was spurred by a pivotal experience - a surgery she underwent that was later revealed as unnecessary. This incident led her to explore women's paradoxical relationship with their healthcare: they are often proactive yet find themselves sidelined by the system. Her book dives into the internal conflicts and societal pressures that lead women to mismanage their health, prioritizing others' needs over their own. "SIDELINED" is based on extensive research and interviews with diverse women chosen carefully to represent various experiences within the healthcare system. Susan discusses the women's hesitation and concerns in sharing their medical journeys. She also touches on the cultural history and gender biases that pervade the medical field, influencing how women's health issues are perceived and treated. A central theme of Susan's research is the six instinctive behaviors women exhibit that complicate their medical diagnosis and treatment. This includes reluctance to question doctors, non-compliance with medical advice, and the tendency to downplay their symptoms. Susan emphasizes the importance of second opinions and proactive healthcare management, offering actionable steps for women to navigate a healthcare system that often overlooks their needs. Susan's story is not just about challenges; it's about empowerment. By sharing her insights, she aims to equip women with the knowledge and confidence to advocate for their health. Her message is clear: understanding and challenging the status quo is crucial for transforming how women interact with healthcare providers and, ultimately, for improving their medical outcomes.

It can take 5-7 years to get a correct diagnosis for a chronic illness. Many people with chronic illnesses are misdiagnosed with psychological conditions and are prescribed antidepressant medications. A large scale awareness is required about chronic illnesses and their handling. Many are grappling with understanding their illness and are not sure how to handle their diagnosis and treatment plans. Further Advocacy is needed for doctors to better understand and diagnose such issues.   Susan Salenger: Sidelined: HOw Women Manage and Mismanage Their Health,   amzn.to/3P7jW2r https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-salenger/

EPISODE 236 - Susan Salenger - SIDELINED - How Women Manage & Mismanage Their HealthDON'T MAKE ANOTHER HEALTHCARE DECISION WITHOUT READING THIS BOOK "If men had cramps, they'd have cured this by now...""I told my doctors about my pain for years, but they told me it was all in my head...""My doctor removed my IUD without anesthesia because 'there aren't any nerve endings in there.' Boy, was he wrong!"These and countless other comments from women who've suffered at the hands of the healthcare industry are frighteningly common... but they don't have to be. Sidelined: How Women Manage & Mismanage Their Health discloses how women have been marginalized and hesitate to take control over their own healthcare.

The end result could be inferior care, which can lead to serious consequences.In Sidelined, writer and researcher Susan Salenger explains why women are misdiagnosed more often than men, and why their symptoms often go unrecognized or even disputed. This book teaches readers how to take charge of their health, make informed decisions, and leave their appointments with answers instead of just questions.Knowing how to advocate for your own healthcare can mean the difference between healthy outcomes and years of needless agony, or even death.This important women's health book equips readers with the knowledge, language, and skill sets they need to overcome the gender bias that is present in the medical industry and get the best healthcare possible.About the AuthorSusan Salenger was born and raised in Los Angeles, and for more than twenty-five years owned Salenger Films, which produced corporate training and development films and distributed them around the world, with her husband.

Through socialization and culture women are taught to take care of others and typically do not prioritize their own health.  Researchers did a study where they gave women a list and asked them to rank it based on need.  Children, pets, elderly parents, partners were all prioritized (in that order) over themselves.  After doing research on women post-hysterectomy, Susan Salenger was intrigued by the fact that women were intentionally taking a backseat to everyone around them.  More research and ten years later, Susan's book Sidelined: How Women Manage & Mismanage Their Health, was published.  She dives into not only the historical relevance of women and how we view healthcare, but she also includes a full resource guide and tips for better managing our overall health and major issues that can arise.  This eighty year-old, 4 foot 10 inch dynamo isn't finished making her mark on the world.  Her next project is tackling menopause and the differences in cultural perceptions and symptoms around the world.  I'm telling you, this is interesting stuff!In this episode Susan Salenger and I discuss:- How stress interferes with our overall health - Tips for getting the most out of doctor appointments:     Be more succinct when explaining symptoms     Write all your questions/issues down before the appointment (Doctors usually                 appreciate this.)     Bring someone with you     Don't be afraid to get a second opinion     Do extra research- Women are prescribed more medication than men and are also making 80% of the healthcare decisions for families, but more dollars go toward research for male specific disease.- 85% of patients leaving a doctor's office don't understand everything that the healthcare provider said.You can find Susan Salenger's book Sidelined: How Women Manage & Mismanage Their Health anywhere books are sold.Instagram https://www.instagram.com/susansalenger/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/suesalengerhttps://www.susansalenger.comFollow Asking for a Friend on Social media outlets:https://www.instagram.com/askingforafriend_pod/https://www.facebook.com/askforafriendpod/Please provide a review and share.

Sidelined  explores the barriers women face in getting the best medical care. It's sometimes so difficult for women to get an accurate diagnosis and the medical community often treats women differently from men. Even in 2021, gender bias still persists. Sadly, some barriers come from women themselves. Women often put their own health last, behind the needs of their families and illness often makes some women feel guilty for becoming ill in the first place which can lead them to make decisions they later regret. Her research revealed how conflicted many women are about the medical decisions they make. After extensive interviews and research, the book highlights her findings and includes a valuable resource directory that offers a variety of services to help women decide the best path to follow. About Susan:Susan is a non-fiction writer, an avid reader and a foodie, especially dark chocolate. For more than 25 years, she and her husband owned Salenger Films, which produced and distributed corporate training films all around the world. She was born in Los Angeles and, although she loved living there (except for the traffic and the smog), she moved up to Northern California to be with her grandchildren. She has two fabulous daughters, four incredible grandchildren, a dog named JD (Salenger), a cat named Max and, because she lives in the wine country, a tiny vineyard that produces pinot noir. Resources Mentioned:Sidelined: How Women Manage and Mismanage Their HealthPinot NoirConnect with SusanInstagramFacebookTwitterWebsiteThe podcast's hashtag is #nourishyourflourish.

Women are typically the medical gatekeepers for their families yet, are commonly not as diligent with their OWN health. Guest author Susan Salenger wrote the book "Sidelined, How Women Manage & Mismanage Their Health" to change our internal conversation and make ourselves a priority. You can't be there for your family if you are sick or not feeling well. Over 80% of patients lie to their doctors and women lie more than men. That can lead to inaccurate and possibly detrimental diagnosis and treatments. And what's even more disturbing is that too many women don't follow their doctor's recommendations. Join Lauren and Susan as they examine: why she wrote her book, why its so important and how it's different from other books, why we don't listen to our guts or do the same due diligence for ourselves that we do for our loved ones, how not "seeming rude" to our doctors outweighs telling them what's really going on, the most common hurdles women need to overcome to improve their healthcare, how women should speak to their doctors, how to find the most competent doctors and advocate for yourself and tips for women who want to better manage their health and decision-making capabilities.

My guest for this episode is author Susan Salenger, who recently published a book entitled Sidelined: How Women Manage & Mismanage Their Health. While acknowledging gender bias, Susan also writes a lot about helping women change this dynamic by showing them how to advocate for themselves, how to get past embarrassment, communication issues, shame and loneliness and proactively changing their approach to the healthcare system so they are less affected by gender bias.This episode will give you an insider's view into the latest links between gender and healthcare, gender differences in outcomes, approaches and attitudes towards self-care, second opinions and how women can change their approach to their doctors and the healthcare system.Full episode transcript, notes, quotes and links:https://themattferetshow.com"When (women) walk in the doctor's office, they're embarrassed, so they hesitate to talk about all their symptoms. 50% of women lie to their doctors, and 25% of that 50% don't even think that their lying is a problem. Not understanding that now that they've distorted what's happening, the doctors' chance of an accurate diagnosis are even less than they were in the first place. I was startled at the amount of shame that women feel about being ill. That took me aback."-Susan SalengerBe sure to check out Prepare for Medicare - The Insider's Guide to Buying Medicare Insurance.

Susan is an author and researcher who wrote SIDELINED: How Women Manage & Mismanage Their Health.

When creating focus groups, why did you do that specifically and did you learn anything different from the groups in contrast to when you interviewed women individually? I know the women in my life are much more concerned with health than the men. What do you mean when you say they have trouble getting the most effective healthcare? How much of a role does stress play in women's health? Why do you think that is? You mention that men and women talk to doctors differently. What do you mean by that?

 [Health] Did you ever stop and ask yourself, “why did I agree to that?”   In the newly-released book,SIDELINED: How Women Manage & Mismanage Their Health, researcher and author Susan Salenger examines the many ways in which women manage and sometimes mismanage their healthcare.  Salenger describes how women, typically the medical gatekeepers for their families, tend to be extremely conscientious about taking care of themselves. They choose their doctors carefully, visit them more frequently than men, and stay on top of all health information. Yet at the same time, women tend to inadvertently undermine their own care. They're so focused on members of their families that they sometimes fail to stop and ask doctors the correct questions when it comes to their own healthcare. As a result, they may end up with inaccurate treatments and unnecessary procedures. In this conversation, Susan and I discuss why women:Put others first and leave little time to care for themselvesAre too quick to put off their own needed care Are more concerned about offending their doctor than questioning their opinions/diagnosisFocus on the emotional aspects of their illness when discussing symptoms, yet when it comes to recovery, take the opposite approachFull Show Notes On The Blog HereGet your copy of Sidelined: How Women Manage and Mismanage Their Health Book HereSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/QuinnM)
