267 Make Time for the Talk with Dr. Evelin Molina Dacker, MD

Dr. Evelin Molina Dacker, MD is a Latinx-American, sex-positive Family Medicine physician. She applies her integrative and holistic approach to sexuality medicine, women’s health, preventative care, consent education and teaching. She is active in creating a safe space for LGBTQIA youth and adults and helping people through illness, trauma, and life transitions towards finding balance and joy. She incorporates a multidisciplinary approach with principles of gratitude and pleasure to support her patients in creating their own wellness.  Evelin has a special interest in reframing and re-educating people on Sexually Transmitted Infections. She sees our relationship with STIs as a metaphor for the fear and shame we have around our sexuality. As a practicing physician, this is encountered in her everyday healing. Her clinical and scientific knowledge, along with her lived experience as a Latinx, queer person, have given her a unique perspective that is beyond the Academic. Dr. Molina Dacker was awarded as the 2023 recipient of the Robert L. Haynie Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Award from her medical school, Case Western Reserve University. In addition to practicing medicine, Dr. Molina Dacker created the safer sex communication model STARS to help facilitate open and honest safer sex conversations. She is a community leader, a consent and sex educator, sexual health activist and TEDx speaker. Today we talk about Dr. Dacker's work, Functional Medicine, and the STARS framework.   Ads/ Discounts:  Dipsea: Dipsea is offering an extended 30 day free trial when you go to DipseaStories.com/sands Flure App: https://flure.onelink.me/TEKB/j1reb4sc  NOCD: Get a free 15 min consultation today at https://www.treatmyocd.com/   Dr. Dacker:  https://www.maketimeforthetalk.com/ https://www.evalenedacker.com/   FOLLOW US  Twitter Instagram Facebook Send questions, comments, stories, rants to: [email protected] Sluts And Scholars is a production of sluts and scholars media.   Loving disclaimer:  Sluts and Scholars is a podcast produced by Sluts & Scholars Media, LLC. It is a shame free educational podcast made for your entertainment and informational desires only.
