For this conversation I was joined by Board Certified Internal Medicine Physician Dr. Magdala Chery. Dr. Chery and I discussed how primary care physicians are involved in screening for mental health concerns, how they collaborate and refer to mental health professionals, how you can better advocate for yourself with physicians, and she shared her thoughts on what PCPs need to do to ensure better health outcomes for Black women.

According to the World Health Organization, 8-13% of women are affected by Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and it is also the leading cause of infertility for women. To explore more about this syndrome and its specific impact on Black women, I’m joined today by Sasha Ottey, a clinical and research microbiologist and the founder and executive director of PCOS Challenge: The National Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Association. After she was diagnosed with PCOS, Sasha founded PCOS Challenge and has since grown the organization to over 55,000 members. Her leadership focuses on advocating for research funding, innovation, and the development of safe and effective treatments for PCOS.

During our conversation, we discuss why over 70% of women go undiagnosed for PCOS, the common symptoms and experiences of women with PCOS, and how to advocate for yourself to your medical team when fearing that you may have PCOS.

Session 378: Navigating a PCOS Diagnosis

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/8907ab7b-e686-482e-8d98-b1f600275ffd/transcript

Wait…Can you hear it? The constant political ads, the texts from campaigns you never signed up for, and relentless social media debates mean that election season is here in full force. Seriously though, this may be one of the most important election cycles of our time, and by our, I mean Gen Z. 

Today, we’re diving into the real thoughts, hopes, and frustrations of college students as they navigate today’s political landscape. Joining me for this roundtable discussion are Alexandra Nelson, Gabrielle Cassell, and Jasmine Patrick. A sophomore, junior, and senior respectively, they attend Spelman College and serve as hosts for the school’s collegiate and social justice-orientated podcast, The Blue Record.  

In our chat today, we discuss the issues that matter most to us as students and members of Gen Z, our reactions to the recent televised debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump, and why it’s important to maintain a sense of political imagination when thinking about our future as a country.
