    I’m a woman, age 44, currently getting my masters in public health when I fell suddenly ill. Craniocervical Instability happens to be a big part of it- just finished that episode (EDS). Anyway, I always knew of the injustices in women’s healthcare, I advocate fiercely- and unfortunately I’ve had to experience it over and over these past couple years. This podcast has great story telling accurate portrayals. I hope it reaches audiences that didn’t already understand all this… keep it up, great po... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The haunting legacy of gynaecology
Q: So, how do we reconcile that history and what happened to those young women with the advances made in gynecology?
The two truths are present. From the perspective of me as a black woman, this is a very monstrous story, right? This is a very violent person who didn't even see our humanity in any kind of way. He took advantage of our enslavement and marginalization to advance his career and the contributions he made cannot be separated from the violence he inflicted.
The haunting legacy of gynaecology
Q: Could you please introduce yourself to the listeners?
My name is Notisha Massakoy. I am a mother, a partner. I am originally from Sierra Leone. I grew up in Newfoundland and currently, I am an assistant professor in the Department of Health and Society at the University of Toronto, with a cross appointment in the Faculty of Medicine, and also in the Faculty of Social Work.
Why are 70% of Alzheimer's patients women?
Q: Why do two-thirds of Alzheimer's patients in Canada identify as female?
The assumption is that women live longer and are more susceptible due to genetic factors.
Why are 70% of Alzheimer's patients women?
Q: Why is brain health a woman's issue?
Women experience higher rates of migraines, anxiety, and depression, and a significant proportion of Alzheimer's patients are women.
Why EDS is more than "just loose joints"
Q: Is there a cure for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?
There is no cure; it's about learning to live with it and making lifestyle accommodations.
