For far too long, women have faced disparities in healthcare that put their well-being at risk. Today’s guest, Dr. Mary O’Connor, has seen firsthand how the healthcare system often fails to meet women’s unique needs. She has dedicated her career to addressing health disparities that negatively impact women. She shares her insights on why women do not always receive the same quality of care as men and how health coaches and other wellness practitioners can support women facing health disparities.
In this episode, we talk about:
Health disparities faced by women, particularly women in rural areas
The role of social determinants of health and access to healthcare in creating disparities
How sex and gender impact medical conditions and access to care
The reason why women do not receive the same health care as men
Importance of considering sex in medical research
Dr. Mary’s book Taking Care of You to empower women to address their health disparities
Role of education, social support between women, and advocacy in addressing health disparities
Actions healthcare practitioners can take to support women facing disparities
Memorable Quotes
“A health disparity is when a certain group of people don’t receive the same quality of health care as another group.”
“Self-love is important, and being comfortable with yourself and your body is very important. But that doesn’t mean it’s healthy for you. Being overweight and being obese is not healthy for you.”
“You need to find a doctor or nurse practitioner that you trust. And that means someone who will listen to you.”
“As women, we are painted with this umbrella, that we exaggerate our symptoms, that we’re histrionic. And so, when women talk about concerns or problems in the traditional system, they get diminished, minimized… it’s important that your doctor, nurse believe what you’re telling them.”
