Changing the World - One woman at a time with Dr. Lisa Parsons
Women are socially conditioned to be ashamed of their bodies, to think of the golden years as their worst years, and ignore every positive aspect of entering a mature age. Today's guest, the amazing Dr. Lisa Parsons, joins us to rip off perimenopause and menopause's negative labels and help us talk about our bodies without shame.
Dr. Lisa Parsons is a certified ob-gyn, providing gynecology services through direct care at Mindful Roots and the New England Direct Care Alliance. She graduated in Osteopathic Medicine and completed her residency at Maine Medical Center. She also worked as a full-time ob-gyn at the All About Woman and Mercy Hospital. Dr. Lisa Parsons then decided to split her time between teaching as the discipline chief and professor at the University of New England and as an ob-gyn as a laborist/nocturnist in the Lewiston area.
In this episode, we had a fantastic conversation about the benefits of entering the golden years, the need for confidence and freedom when talking about our bodies, and why society insists on pointing out only the negatives of getting older. Dr. Lisa explains the differences between concierge medicine and direct care and the importance of developing personal relationships with our health providers.
We also discuss the importance of forgiveness, the need for creating supportive spaces where women have each other's back, and we share some details of the upcoming Roots of Fire Retreat happening from October 13th to the 16th, 2022.
