80 Sexism in Medicine and Fox New's Dr. Manny
Hello my Clan of the Crave Bears! I’m so glad you decided to join me today. Today I’m getting real with you, so consider yourself warned. I had an experience recently that I have been waiting to share with you, so today I am taking the opportunity. I was on Fox News a couple of weeks ago with Dr. Manny.

Show Notes:
- I sat down with Dr. Manny and I immediately felt like he was not into my opinions
- I immediately tried to build rapport and I tried to even get him to laugh
- His final comment to me about cravings was, “That was very entertaining!”
- I wasn’t there to entertain, because Women’s health issues are so important to me
- After the segment, I tried to brush off his “entertaining” comment
- I even got him to agree to take a selfie with me
- After we took the selfie, he said, “Well, that was all horse shit!”
- My head was spinning - I knew he would have never said the same thing to a man
- The female producer who booked the show was shocked to hear this
- Last year I was on Dr. Oz last year and he could barely contain his eye roll
- Men believe women are weak, silly and emotional and they dismiss our true needs
- The dismissive attitudes are exactly what women face everyday
- The unexamined gender bias in medicine is killing us
- I have so many examples of women’s medical disorders being dismissed by health practitioners
- Need help advocating for yourself? Alex shares tips for being your own best advocate
- Disrespect for women’s health concerns is rampant

It’s time for us to love our bodies and trust ourselves. We are living in a sexist medical culture and now is the time to speak up about it.
