Women’s Health Care Check Up

As we continue in women’s history month we want to highlight the area of women’s health advocacy. There is still a great need for growth in research, taking women’s concerns seriously, and women having the tools we need to advocate for our health and care. When we contrast the continued minimizing of women’s health concerns with the life of Jesus, we see how radical He really is in demystifying and joining with our experience of our bodies. Male listeners welcome in this conversation! Read along with us: Mark 5:24-34 Research referenced in our discussion: Origins of gynecology ​​https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/17/603163394/-father-of-gynecology-who-experimented-on-slaves-no-longer-on-pedestal-in-nyc History of birth control pill testing in Puerto Rico https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/pill-puerto-rico-pill-trials/ “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” - book and movie (streaming on HBOMax) “Our Bodies, Ourselves” - book https://www.ourbodiesourselves.org/about-us/our-history/ Maternal mortality rate https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/03/16/1163786037/maternal-deaths-in-the-u-s-spiked-in-2021-cdc-reports Black Lactation Circle https://columbusunderground.com/community-group-gives-peer-support-to-breastfeeding-black-women-tm1/ Shop our Excavate merch store https://excavatepodcast.myshopify.com/ Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @excavatepodcast To support the podcast on patreon visit: www.patreon.com/excavatepodcast Our patreon perks include new content, zoom calls, and the opportunity for our higher tier options to invite us to your small group.
