Season 3, Episode 1: Sex, gender, and health

Women often take on roles to care for others first and may not attend enough to their own health and well-being. In this episode, we discuss the many ways that sex and gender affect a person's health with Dr. Sarah Tilstra, section chief of women’s health and internist at the General Internal Medicine Clinic at Montefiore Hospital at UPMC and the executive editor of the book, “Sex- and Gender-Based Women's Health: A Practical Guide for Primary Care.”      

Dr. Tilstra delves into the ways that women, as well as sexual and gender minorities, sometimes don't prioritize their health and ways they can advocate for their own health-related needs.
