Epigenetics: An Insight into Future Generations and Society

In this episode of his Full Cup Life series of podcasts, Dr. Tom speaks with a psychologist, author, professor, and reproductive health expert, Dr. Cleopatra, who is known for having developed the Culture and Social Identity Health Theory and the related concept of Aging Before Birth and Beyond. 

As someone who has personal insights to share about her lived reality as a colored woman growing up in America, she has closely studied the role that stereotypes play in creating health disparities. She shares her insight into the way that these disparities work and can be overcome in this podcast. Dr. Cleopatra also shares stories of her experience of having lost her mother to childbirth – a life she feels could have been saved had it been valued enough. 

While she acknowledges that prejudice and bias first evolved as possible survival imperatives in primitive times, Dr. Cleopatra offers suggestions to overcome those no longer useful instincts. She tells us that genetic variability within races is far greater than between races, that no matter how different we seem, there are more commonalities between us than differences. Join Dr. Cleopatra as she discusses a host of vital and insightful issues with Tom Moorcroft.
