Skimm This: State of Women… and Health

Listen Later

Welcome back to Skimm This. We're back in your feeds to bring you fresh episodes that help you live smarter. This time, instead of weekly episodes, we’ll be dropping miniseries throughout the year that will focus on your wellbeing. And to kick things off, we’re taking a look at the state of women in America, with a series that offers a look into the realities that millennial women in the US face today. 

In this third episode, we’re talking about the state of women and their health. 

  • First up: We’ll start with the data – and why women’s well-being is in crisis
  • Then: We’ll explain how women are starting to advocate for their health in order to navigate a broken system
  • Later: We interviewed an expert about how you can advocate for yourself before, during, and after your appointments 
  • Finally: We’ve got a script you can use to find a therapist


    • P.S. Learn more about the different types of therapy here. 


    On this episode, you’ll hear from: 

    LaTasha Seliby Perkins, physician, assistant professor of medicine, Georgetown University School of Medicine
