Really excited to share my interview with Yale MD and hormone health expert, Dr. Aviva Room.
" There was this idea that women and nature were basically resources to be used and all of our inner knowing was considered irrelevant and kind of stupid compared to science, and as women we have deeply internalized that. That value system has really not changed and it shows up today, right when a woman goes to her doctor and says I'm having horrible period pain and I'm not sleeping well before my period and all the things. And your doctor says: oh well it's probably distress. Or when a woman goes to her doctor and says: I've gained 30 pounds, I'm losing my hair, I haven't had my period in four months and the doctor says: well it's probably distress, or worse, your doctor says: well if you just lost weight. So, we're taught to just assume that our body's messages are insignificant and we're taught to respect the external voice which is usually a male authority voice as the authority on our own body."
