103 | Becoming Your Own Health Advocate: Insights from Susan Salinger
Manage episode 367062380 series 2920144
Are you taking ownership of your health or sidelining yourself? Join us as we chat with Susan Salinger, author of "Sidelined: How Women Manage and Mismanage Their Health," about the critical importance of prioritizing our well-being. Discover the differences between male and female doctors, the misdiagnosis of women, and how to prevent common behaviors that harm our health. Learn why putting ourselves first isn't selfish - it's necessary for our families and our sanity.
We'll help you navigate the complexities of self-care by providing valuable tips and tools to prepare for doctor's appointments and get the most out of them. Understand the vital role of advocating for your health, asking for your diagnosis's clinical name, and overcoming the startling statistic that only 15% of women speak up when they don't understand something. We'll also uncover the significance of research in making informed decisions about your health.
Embrace the mind-body connection as we explore the ways emotions profoundly impact our physical health. Gain insights on considering the emotional repercussions of healthcare decisions like taking medication or undergoing surgery. We'll offer advice on communicating symptoms effectively and promoting healthy living for your family. Don't forget to connect with our Facebook page and explore our memberships and resources to help you prioritize your health and well-being.
