How do I navigate the healthcare system? What do I ask my doctor? What should I do when I'm not being heard? Why does it seem like researchers are unable to make up their minds about the guidance they provide? Our goal is to give you tips on how to navigate the healthcare system and understand other matters of public health in plain language.

In this episode our guest is A’magine. A’magine is an author, educator, speaker and filmmaker. She came to the cafe to discuss her documentary called At Your Cervix. A new film exposing the little-known unethical practice of conducting non-consensual pelvic exams on unconscious patients. Grab your warm drink and tune in for a great conversation! Some key takeaways: Consent is non-negotiable: Patients have the right to set clear boundaries and be fully informed about all medical procedures involving their bodies. Advocacy matters: Being proactive, asking questions, and educating oneself before medical appointments can help protect against unethical practices. Support is crucial: We must work together to enact legislation, address systemic issues, and provide resources to empower patients and hold institutions accountable. The lack of consent is a critical issue that affects patients and medical students alike. Gynecological teaching associates (GTAs) are an excellent way for medical students to learn how to do pelvic exams with feedback. Watch the film, At Your Cervix! About A’magine A’magine earned her Master’s degree in Human Sexuality Education at New York University and has been teaching and speaking about feminism and sexuality for over two decades. She is author of Woman on Fire: Nine Elements to Wake up Your Erotic Energy, Personal Power and Sexual Intelligence and co-author of the best-selling classic Lesbian Sex Secrets for Men, both published by Penguin Random House, (under her former name Amy Jo Goddard). A’magine was named one of Go Magazine’s “100 Women We Love” and Kinkly’s “100 Sex Blogging Superheroes.” She works with women and couples on their sexual and relationship lives and she is a corporate and media consultant. A’magine’s award winning documentary film, At Your Cervix, aims to improve pelvic exams for all patients and to end unethical medical practices that harm women and transgender people. A’magine is a legislative advocate for state laws banning the use of anesthetized patients without consent. Check out her popular TEDx talk, presented in Napa, California, “Owning Your Sexual Power”. A coastal transplant to New Mexico, she currently thrives in the desert of the southwest, residing with her wild feline friends, who, she claims are evolved teachers about self-care and healthy boundaries. https://amaginenation.com/ https://www.atyourcervixmovie.com/ The Good Health Cafe www.thegoodhealthcafe.com Facebook and Instagram: @thegoodhealthcafe Sign up for our mailing list: https://www.thegoodhealthcafe.com/ The Good Health Cafe Feedback Form https://www.thegoodhealthcafe.com/submit-your-question @thegoodhealthcafe on Instagram and Facebook…

Some key takeaways: The importance of extended postpartum care and support, including the need for comprehensive insurance coverage and workplace leave policies. the importance of education, advocacy, and communication in addressing disparities in maternal health. Communication is key. Birthing people have a right to bodily autonomy and choices about themselves and their babies Black maternal mortality rate is high due to systemic racism, discrimination, social and economic factors, and poor communication with the birthing team. It is crucial to have a healthcare proxy on file in case the mother cannot speak for herself during delivery. Patients can and should ask questions like who the people in the room are and whether they can decline some of them, or requesting a female provider if they are uncomfortable with a male one. A relaxing and calming atmosphere during labor can help ease stress and reduce pain. Strategies like aromatherapy, dimming lights, and calming music can help.

She aims to educate birthing people about the many available options during labor, delivery, and the immediate postpartum periods to create a safer and more autonomous experience. She serves as a member of the steering committee for Mind the Gap, which advocates for the Massachusetts Moms Matter Act that would diversify the state's perinatal mental health workforce and invest in community-based organizations supporting perinatal people.
