What happens when we stop whispering about miscarriage and start telling our stories out loud? How can we begin to shed the shame and silence that so often surround women's health experiences?

Reduce Sun Exposure: Limit time spent in direct sunlight, especially during peak hours. Use protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.2. Schedule Regular Skin Checks: Schedule routine visits with a dermatologist for comprehensive skin examinations. Self-examine your skin monthly for any new or changing moles or lesions.3. Use Effective Sunscreen: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily, even on cloudy days. Reapply every two hours when outdoors, and after swimming or sweating.4. Get Genetic Testing Done: If you have a family history of melanoma or other cancers, consider genetic testing to assess your risk. Tests like the MYRIS can identify melanoma-related gene mutations.5. Avoid Tanning Beds: Steer clear of tanning beds, as they significantly increase the risk of developing melanoma and other skin cancers.6. Be Your Own Health Advocate: Stay informed about your health, ask questions, and seek second opinions if necessary. Advocate for yourself and your loved ones by being proactive about potential health concerns.In This Episode: (00:00) Intro: Melanoma Awareness Month(02:40) Dr. Omid Hamid: Melanoma specialist introduction(6:58) Surgery for melanoma explained(10:49) Immunotherapy revolutionizes melanoma treatment(14:57) Genetic testing for melanoma risk(23:25) Importance of advocating for yourself(32:22) Teddy Mellencamp's stage 4 melanoma journey(50:51) Hormonal changes and melanoma risk(57:00) Two key melanoma prevention tipsRESOURCES:Melanoma Research Alliance: https://www.curemelanoma.org/blog/omid-hamid-mdMelanoma Research Foundation https://melanoma.org/Myriad Genetics: https://myriad.com/ GUEST BIOGRAPHY:Omid Hamid, MD, is the Chief of the Translational Research and Immuno-Oncology Department at The Angeles Clinic and Research Institute and serves as the Co-Director of the Melanoma and Phase I Programs.

Who said too much TV isn't good for you? Hosts of the TV Doctor podcast are here to chat about why actually, TV can be the perfect prescription for your wellness. From community, to representation, to escapism, we dive into the many ways in which watching tv might just be what you need. In this episode, Dr. Cassandre Dunbar is joined by media experts Dr. Michele Foss and Ashley Johnson, the dynamic duo behind The TV Doc Podcast. Together, they unpack how television and media shape our sense of identity, belonging, and emotional wellness—especially for Black and mixed-race folks navigating representation and community in an often isolating world. In this episode, we discussed:How TV and media help shape self-perception and racial identityThe emotional and therapeutic impact of nostalgic showsFandom as a powerful form of community and connectionWhy representation on screen matters for our mental healthHow to raise media-savvy, critical-thinking kids in the YouTube ageWhether you're a lifelong Trekkie or someone who finds comfort in rewatching Living Single, this conversation will remind you of the deep impact media can have on our wellbeing.Guest Spotlight: Dr. Michele Foss is what happens when you combine a Professor of Rhetoric and Media in the Department of Communication Studies at Sacramento State University with an unapologetically nerdy pop culture fanatic. From the classes she teaches (ranging from Television Criticism to Media Aesthetics to Communication Theory to Methods of Fandom Studies) to the keynote addresses and invited lectures she delivers, Dr. Foss infuses heart, creativity, inclusivity, and fun into all she does. She uses her three fancy degrees and more than 25 years of boots-on-the-ground experience to make academic concepts accessible and "sticky" for her audiences. She also wears all the hats (creator, producer, editor, writer, and host) for her podcast, The TV Doctor, where she "prescribes" what you should be watching to heal your socio-cultural ailments. She's been recognized by her university for her excellence in teaching, community service, and scholarship/creative activity.

Women make 80% of healthcare decisions and outspend men two to one on care—yet when it comes to designing, funding, and scaling health tech, they're still treated like a niche.In this episode, we break down the broken flywheel holding women's health innovation back including fewer growth-stage investments, limited exits, and a system not built to serve women as the primary users of care.

Now I've lived it.In this episode, we're spilling all the details: what worked, what surprised us, and how you can prep your body for optimal healing with IV therapy.Don't miss this if you have surgery on your horizon—or just want to recover like a boss.

Painful periods could be a sign of PCOS. The lack of conversations about women's health issues is a significant concern. This podcast helps educate women on important health topics, empowering them to become their own health advocates. SHE MD gives women the knowledge they need to have informed discussions with their doctors.Would You And Your Spouse Agree To Have One Fling A Year Before Marriage? No! Of course, you wouldn't. But live and learn. Aurora did just that and regrets that decision. Her story about her husband's flings will make your head spin. Open Marriage And Swingers—Do Those Marriages Stand The Test Of Time? It might seem exciting, but if you're hoping for a lasting marriage, consider whether you know of any swinging relationships that have endured.Men And Women View Sex Differently. For a man, a fling might just be casual, while his wife may see it as a deep betrayal, knowing that for her, an affair would likely involve emotional attachment. This reflects the idea that men and women approach relationships from different perspectives; as the saying goes, "Men are from Mars, women are from Venus."Does a Woman Disconnect from Her Husband After Childbirth? Many significant changes occur after having a child. Physically, a woman's body is different. Her focus often shifts as well, with her attention now centered on caring for her baby, which can impact her relationship with her husband. It can take time to resume intimacy, especially if she's breastfeeding, as this adjustment period requires patience.Does Being Sober Curious Resonate With You? Are you curious about living a sober lifestyle? The "sober curious" movement is real and encourages people to rethink their relationship with alcohol. It's about questioning why you drink and whether it's enhancing or complicating your life. Are you drinking because of a social event, the time of day or another reason? Does this resonate with you?IN THIS EPISODE, HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT: (00:00) Introduction(4:00) Aurora talks about her podcast(6:30) PCOS symptoms and miscarriage(11:14) Divorce, monogamy, and childbirth(26:20) Getting serious about finding a man and the latest dating apps(29:00) What does being sober curious look like and Aurora talks about exercise and meditationRESOURCES:Aurora Culpo - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auroraculpo/?hl=enBarley Filtered - Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/barely-filtered/id1675375857GUEST BIOGRAPHY: Aurora CulpoAurora Culpo is best known for starring in the Discovery+ series The Culpo Sisters alongside her sisters Olivia Culpo and Sophia Culpo.

Is wellness the new purity ring? In part 2 of Gender War Games, host Cristen Conger and trainer Cadence Dubus breaks down how body control, aesthetic discipline, and "clean" femininity are being sold as self-care—while reinforcing the same old patriarchal power structures.
