What if your body has been trying to tell you something for years and you just haven't had the language to hear it? Hope Pedraza returns to the show to explore why so many high-performing women are…
Hope PedrazaGuestMatty LansdownHostI'm curious to ask the question, because a l- the world has changed in such a massive way in the last five, five years, especially in conversations of health.
Um, you know, whether that be vaccines or, you know, the food pyramid or, you know, there's just lots of these health conversations that have been thrust into the mainstream conversation, particularly as a result of COVID, but also as a result of the Trump administration.
And not that I'm getting into conversations around, you know, who, who's a good president or not, but the, but just the fact that we're hearing a lot more in the media about health and different things.
But what do you see has been the big change in the last five years or so since we had a, we did the last podcast?
I, I think there's been a lot of changes for the good, and I think there's been a lot of changes maybe for the not so good.
I think that, I think people, I think people are waking up and have been waking up to, you know, what does health really mean and what is true health, and where, um, you know, government, corporations, and all that play a part in it.
I do think that over the past, like, since people are waking up, I feel like there's so much more noise out there, though, that can be really confusing to people, because everybody's got their own opinions about everything.
And so it can be one of those, well, what is true, and what is correct for me, and what is right, and what is healthy? So I f- I feel like there's, it's kind of a double-edged sword where it's great to have access to so much information and data and science around this, that, and whatever, but that it can also be really overwhelming when people are using this science to say this thing, but then it also says this thing.
So I think there's just a lot out there, and I think it's, we're in such a great spot right now to really use discernment and, like, really listen to our own bodies and feel into what's true for us.
Yeah, that, that idea of discernment is interesting because, I guess, previously, discernment meant trust educated professionals.
Um, and you know, a lot of people would say lines like, "Oh, it's what my doctor told me to do," or, you know, my insert mainstream medical health practitioner, or, "My mom's a doctor," or, "My cousin's a doctor," or w- or whatever they say.
Um, where it's interesting because I think you're right that, that the awareness around the institutionaliza- uh, uh, institutionalization, but also, I guess, um, the, the capitalist side of medicine and healthcare is becoming more and more obvious to people.
... now we're, you know, defaulting to personalities that we like on social media.
Um, which is interesting that I make that comment 'cause probably you and I are playing that game.
