Women need to have their voices heard in the medical care system. Yvette Sims is a nurse practitioner who specializes in women’s health and talks about the decline of femininity in the healthcare system.
One of the biggest problems of the modern healthcare system is the shift towards prioritizing the business model of making money over focusing on patients’ needs. This change incentivizes doctors to see the maximum number of patients and offers extremely limited time for the individual, which results in women not feeling heard during their visits.
There are so many complex hormonal systems and balances in a woman’s body, it is crucial for women’s health that we provide enough time to properly listen to their concerns in order to understand and diagnose their needs.
Help advocate for change and bring care and femininity back to the medical care system!
Show Notes:
👉 The allopathic health care model is focused on quantity, not quality, and women feel like: "You did not hear a word I just said." 02:45
🌸 Yvette's vision is to get this science of caring back into medical education. 05:48
✔️ Yvette can't work full-time and be present at every moment, so she chooses to work less. 07:54
💞 A capitalistic society, when it comes to giving and humanity, cannot be based on productivity: it's necessary to bring more femininity into the system. 09:52
✅ Doctors don't heal anybody - people heal themselves. 13:04
🧠 When the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA) is off, our system can get very taxed: teaching the body to respond differently to stress. 16:30
👁️ Four pillars of stress are glucose, external factors, sleep disturbances, and inflammation. 22:52
🧘♀️ The only way the change can happen is if you have actionable things to do: Jill added the fifth pillar - thoughts - treat them with meditation, not Prozac. 25:45
❤️ The system is really good right now on sick care, but not well-care: you can go through menopause and peri-menopause smoothly - women heal together. 28:03
🌎 You move through the world with confidence and ease by taking care of yourself and prioritizing your self-care and needs. 33:01
