EP 172 \ Why So Many Women Feel Dismissed — The Origin Story No One Talks About

Why do so many women feel unheard, rushed, or dismissed in today’s medical system—whether they’re pregnant, postpartum, or just trying to get answers about their health? It’s not in your head. And it didn’t start with you. It started with the Flexner Report, and major money influencers like Carnegie and Rockefeller.

In this eye-opening episode, Certified Nurse-Midwife and Christian wellness coach Lori Morris reveals the origin story almost no one talks about: how a single document in the early 1900s shaped the entire structure of modern medicine, pushed midwives aside, medicalized birth, erased holistic care, and left women feeling unseen for generations.

You’ll learn:

✨ The historical shift that pushed birth out of homes and into hospitals and how the Flexner Report drove the shift ✨ How natural, herbal, and community-based medicine were labeled “unscientific” ✨ Why women’s voices were systematically removed from maternity care ✨ Why today’s rushed, symptom-focused model was baked into the system from the start ✨ How to reclaim wisdom, discernment, and God’s design for your body

If you’ve ever walked out of an appointment feeling dismissed, confused, or pressured—this episode will help you understand why, and what you can do differently.
