GENERATION INVINCIBLE – Public Health ✓ Healthcare Policy ✓ Social Justice ✓

Let's talk about... Vets.

In the spirit of the Fourth of July, which is arguably one of the most patriotic holidays in the United States, Generation Invincible shines a spotlight on veterans. More specifically, veterans' healthcare - the ins and outs of what the options are, how they get to be eligible, and all of the infamous issues that have occurred (and are still happening) in the Veterans Health Administration.

Dying for another interview on Generation Invincible? Well, your patience has been rewarded.

This week, Generation Invincible brought in Dr. Paula Yoon, Director of Health Informatics and Surveillance at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The intelligent and inspirational Dr. Yoon has worked all over the world: from her start in public health in the Peace Corps in Kenya, to working the World Health Organization and the U.N. International Labour Office in Geneva, Switzerland, and finally ending with the CDC. Her projects in the CDC have ranged from heart disease and stroke prevention to birth defects to where she is today, where she focuses on national health surveillance programs. You'll hear her talk today about what those are and why they're important in public health, and how she came to be so successful while covering so many areas throughout her career.

Today's episode of Generation Invincible is dedicated to those whose lives were lost or who were injured in the horrific massacre in Orlando, Florida. Anger. That's what we're feeling, so that's what today's episode is about. Anger towards what happened, anger about Hillary Clinton's historic nomination, and anger about the Brock Turner case. How you should handle that anger and channel it for the greater good, rather than further contributing to hate and violence.

Here's the article I reference that explains how to contact your Senator or Representative and gives a form letter or script for writing or calling them: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/nicole-silverberg/guide-elected-representatives-gun-control_b_8708154.html

On this week's episode of Generation Invincible:

An update on sodium in your food, the regulation of drugs and dietary supplements, a joke where a natural erectile dysfunction supplement meets the Bachelorette, and where the FDA falls short on its responsibility to protect the health and well-being of American citizens, despite its work for the better.

Of course ending with a lovely FLOTUS quote, because after all, Michelle Obama is like the queen.
