In the latest episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast, we’re exploring medical invalidation. It's something virtually everyone with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) has experienced and it can be devastating.

Researcher Allyson Bontempo, Ph.D. joins Aaron Goodman on the podcast to discuss her work on healthcare invalidation and discusses: 

·       What she calls an “epidemic” of medical invalidation for people with MCS and other illnesses. 

·       The consequences of dismissal by healthcare professionals — how it affects us on a personal and human level.

·       How people with MCS, as we know, support each other largely online.

·       And some strategies for ways we can advocate for ourselves.
