Dr. Sadaf Lodhi OBGYN is back on the podcast this year to discuss the gender health gap and how it creates even more barriers for women, especially in marginalized communities of Muslim American women: from the Black community to asylees, immigrants, and refugees. Sick women don’t have the luxury of having sex positivity in their homes when their basic needs won’t be met, and are in fact sabotaged by the state. We talk about trauma, cell memory, cultural competency, and funding cuts that directly impact how we fare in the American pseudo-healthcare maze that’s hard to navigate when we DO speak English.
No visit with Dr. Sadaf Lodhi is complete without talking about mindset on the path to unlearning guilt and shame, and embracing sex positivity. There’s also lots of good news on the horizon with Dr. Lodhi and we hope you catch it towards the end of this episode. Share it with a friend and let us know how you’re working on building your sex positive home.
