#81 Systemic Racism in Health & Fertility Care + Question & Answer Session 5
Description
In episode 81, I address the topic of systemic racism in health and fertility care and also do a shortened Q&A session for the month of June. The reason I chose to include the racism discussion with the Q&A episode is that it brings up an important question that I’ve had to ask myself and a question I'm sure people of color in this audience want to know the answer to as well, which is “What am I doing to understand, confront, and combat racism in myself and in my business?” I discuss some important statistics that highlight the disparities in health and fertility care between BIPOC and white communities and then share some amazing books and resources I've come across to learn more about the issue of systemic racism and how to address it, both personally and collectively.
For the Q&A portion of the show, you'll learn about:
- Iodine deficiency, supplementation, and thyroid function
- How to address poor sperm motility for male partners
- CoQ10 for improving female fertility and egg quality
- Getting a proper assessment and diagnosis for PCOS
- What days to test for the various fertility hormones
You can find show notes for the episode and links to all the resources I mention on racism and further learning from the Q&A at https://tinyfeet.co/my-podcast/81.
