As part of the June 2024 Mental Health Series, this episode talks about the new and relatively undereducated fact that mental health conditions also have a metabolic component beyond just the psychological or psychiatric presentation.   The research world is now consistently backing up this reality which will hopefully change the way that mental health conditions are viewed in the standard medical system while also providing more important education for the public.  Join Dr. Jennifer Coomes in this episode as she discusses what metabolic health is, how it is assessed, what metabolic diseases are, and how mental health is associated with your metabolic health and thus your ability to decrease your mental health symptoms to get control over your health outcomes and quality of life.   You'll learn more about why blood sugar regulation is one of the many key aspects to being able to get more traction in your mental health.

The Rebirth of Women's Healthcare Series:   Conversation and education on what you need to know to be more empowered with your doctor in our current medical system, to be more aware of what you may be missing in your metabolic health at various developmental stages, and practical solutions to get started on being whole and proactive as a woman at any age.

Menopause & Osteoporosis episode:  This episode is a beginner talk on the relationship between menopause and osteoporosis with an innovative look at the hormone imbalances, the increased risk of disease with reduced estrogen and progesterone, perspectives on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the many different mechanisms of disease (causes) that need to be regulated to help biological women walk through menopause with more grace, education, tools, and empowerment for success.

The Rebirth of Women's Healthcare series on the EH&R Metabolic Transformations Podcast continues this week with the topic of Consent and Informed Consent to dig into vulnerable concerns around consent.  Dr. Coomes talks about the importance of consent in medical procedures and issues that complicate consent gathering consist like language barriers, lack of time to explain procedures, not assessing for previous trauma, taking sensitive aspects of medical procedures for granted, lack of seeing the patient and their needs, the importance of following ADA, rape survivor,  informed consent, and other laws regarding consent, and why it's important for the success of the patient and medical teams to work together in medical processes so that patients are not unnecessarily traumatized.  This is an important podcast for all women to hear so that you don't have to feel silent about your needs as patients and healthcare providers in these ever changing times where we need to pay more attention to give and get the care we need.
