A podcast about the elephant in the room - women's health being constantly overlooked, understudied, or not discussed. My goal is to change that - to amplify the voices of women (inclusively) through this podcast and to help people and parents gain more reliable and evidence-based information about their own health and well-being, as well as their children's.
Topics: family health, parenting, women's health (inclusive), LGBTQ+, reproductive and/or sexual health, hot topic health issues, children's safety and development

The podcast adaptation of Common Misconception About Fevers in Babies and Young Children (https://elephantinthewomb.ca/2020/07/30/common-misconceptions-about-fevers-in-babies-and-young-children/), part of our Daycare Outbreaks/Sick Day Management Series.
I think fevers are so often misunderstood. There is a surprising amount of misinformation surrounding them; a general misunderstanding of what actually constitutes a fever; and, lots of confusion surrounding their physiology and treatment. Fevers are a symptom that are extremely common, among children especially.
Let's talk about fevers, what they are and how they differ from hyperthermia, how they are treated as per best practice recommendations and possible complications. Along the way we will bust some common myths around fevers.
Stay tuned for 2 more episodes relating to fevers on thermometers and febrile seizures, coming soon!

Mental Health Nurses and Family Health (Who is on my Healthcare Team? Series)
A podcast brought to you by Elephant in the Womb (www.elephantinthewomb.ca).

Feb 21st is Mental Health Nurses Day in Canada - and so I thought it would be appropriate and fun to have a mental health nurse on the podcast to talk about when and how you might come into contact with one, what they do and can do to support you/your family, and the importance of mental healthcare. If you are a Mental Health Nurse - thank you for all that you do!
*This episode will be a part of a new series I am starting on the blog and podcast called "Who is on my Healthcare Team?"
