The Healthy Project Podcast

"I would say that as a doctor, nurse, or public health professional, you can use your powerful and trusted voice, get involved, and make sure this happens."Marisol Gonzalez is an environmental health researcher who has worked as a medical humanitarian aid worker. She is passionate about climate change and health and works to raise awareness about the health impacts of climate change.About Marisol Yglesias-GonzalezI am an environmental health researcher and I study how climate change affects health. Climate change has direct and indirect effects on health, and these effects can be magnified by social factors like poverty, age, and gender. Climate change is the greatest global health threat of the 21st century.In this episode, you will learn the following:1. Climate change has direct effects on human health, including extreme weather events.2. Climate change can indirectly impact health through changes in water quality, air pollution, and disease vectors.3. Social determinants of health play a role in how vulnerable individuals and populations are to climate change.Chapter Summaries:1) Marisol Gonzalez, an environmental health researcher, is a guest on the Healthy Project podcast. Today, she's going to talk about a topic that's important within the public health field. 2) Before the talk on climate change and health, the speaker talks about her background in environmental health and her work experience as a medical humanitarian aid worker. She's introverted and she's not a morning person, but she loves the opportunity to speak about the topic. She believes there is a lot of pessimism around the topic and she wants to be able to bring the evidence and motivate people.3) As a student ten years ago, he was trying to establish the connection between climate change and health. He found out that both direct and indirect effects of climate change have an impact on human health. For one person, it being hotter, sooner, or hotter than usual may be uncomfortable. But for someone else, that heat wave or that temperature change may be significant for their health.4) The social dimension of climate change makes the difference between rich and poor countries. People living in poverty, marginalized groups, people with disabilities, older adults, women, and young children bear the greater burden of risk in all regions. Those who live in poverty have fewer opportunities generally in life and are vulnerable to basically everything.5) Marisol is an environmental health researcher. She believes that climate change is affecting everyone and we need to take action to adapt to it and mitigate fueling the climate crisis. Health professionals need to educate their patients on the health impacts of climate change. Health systems have a big carbon footprint. The US committed to decarbonizing the health sector. Elberta was the first case to put a name to climate change on the death certificate. The more people speak up about it, the more we have a podcast about the subject. We need to start bridging the fields of environment and health and engage more clinicians.6) Healthcare sector is creating a lot of greenhouse gases. Most of the emissions come from procurement and the supply chain.Connect with me:InstagramFacebookYouTubeTwitterLinkedInWebsite Leave us a review: Support the show ★ Support this podcast ★

A person's health literacy can be defined as their ability to access, understand, appraise, and apply health information. A high level of health literacy is positively correlated with better health outcomes. Despite this, nearly half of the American and European population has low health literacy. The health literacy levels of socioeconomically disadvantaged groups are the lowest, suggesting health disparities are partly due to differences in health literacy levels. In order to improve health-related outcomes among socioeconomically disadvantaged people, it is essential to understand what conditions health literacy interventions can be applied under.In this episode, I speak with Laurie Myers, Director, ESG Strategy and Engagement at Merck, and previously held the position of Director of Global Health Literacy and Oncology Health Equity.

A recent Washington Post/Kaiser Family Foundation survey of 1,327 front-line health care workers in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed that medical burnout has reached epidemic proportions. An overwhelming 55% of front-line health care workers reported burnout (defined as mental and physical exhaustion from chronic workplace stress), with the highest rate (69%) among our youngest staff — those ages 18 to 29. That same age group also reported the highest negative impact of the pandemic on their mental health (75%), though a majority of all health care workers (62%) reported some mental health repercussions.Sometimes healthcare workers become such devoted to their profession that they become lost in it.

There are many differences in health and wellness goals that exist between people of different socio-economic backgrounds. Health coaching is a process that supports someone's health and wellness goals, but not everyone gets the same amount of support due to varying levels of income, education, access to resources (e.g. healthy food), etc. And this lack of support can result in poorer health outcomes for those who are already disadvantaged.In this episode, I speak with Melissa Arthur.

The U.S. healthcare system is shifting to an incentive structure where healthcare providers are rewarded for better care, not more care. This transition from fee-for-service to value-based care is changing how patients are cared for and how providers are measured and compensated for performance.

Health equity has been the topic of discussion lately. Recent data have focused on disparities through another lens, especially the correlation between where people live (i.e., ZIP code) and their quality and length of life. In many cities across America, average life expectancies in specific communities are 20-30 years shorter than those insignificant miles away. Health disparities are founded on a complicated interaction of racial, economic, educational, and other social factors. For example, breastfeeding rates in the United States vary significantly depending on the race and income of the mother.On this episode of The Healthy Project Podcast, I have a great discussion with Pat Ford, Physical Therapist and founder of the nonprofit organization, Project Onyx we discuss, Social Determinant of Health and how your area code plays a role in access to quality care, Representation of black and brown healthcare professionals and the origins and mission of Project Onyx.Be sure you are subscribed to this podcast to automatically receive your episodes:Apple PodcastSpotifyGoogle PodcastJoin The Healthy Project Facebook page - Support the show ★ Support this podcast ★
