If you know me or follow me, you know I am obsessed with the book “Everything Below The Waist - Why Health Care Needs a Feminist Revolution”. The author is Jennifer Block and I’m happy to say she’s on the show today. You may know of her from her previous book Pushed which rocked the worlds of birth workers and parents alike. Everything Below The Waist is a continuation of the work she did in Pushed and is now broadening the conversation into all elements of female health care.
