What if I told you that you could significantly decrease your risk of disease, simply by the clothes that you choose to wear? I’m confident that today’s episode is literally going to save lives. Today I interview Applied medical anthropologist, Sydney Ross Singer, who is going to blow your beautiful mind.
Sydney studies how culture, society + lifestyle contributes to chronic disease. In this case, specifically breast cancer. This topic is very close to my heart (no pun intended) because when I was 14 my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her story is a primary reason why I choose to teach people about disease prevention every day. I take this topic very very seriously. That is…Boobs. Yes, today is all about boobs and how we can all keep them healthy and hopefully cancer free! Today we dive into:
- What is applied medical anthropology?
- The hidden animal experimentation that drove Sydney out of medical school
- Sydney + wife discover a lump in her breast, which leads to his work today
- What the red marks after bra-wearing actually means
- You take off your bra and feel a huge relief: whats happening in the body?
- Breast cancer rates for bra-free women
- Societal pressures of women and bras
- New attitudes around bras in society
- The dark side of the breast cancer industry
- What garments are safe to wear
- The importance of natural, uninhibited movements for breasts
- Exercising w/out a bra
- Breast reduction or bra reduction?
- How to avoid being a cultural pawn for economic gain
