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.
