    (2023-05-05) Olinger, Mariah; Davis, Amanda
    Meet the new Public Health Review Board! Welcome to Season 5 of Perspectives from your new podcast editors, Mariah and Amanda! We thought we would take this episode to briefly introduce ourselves and also give you a chance to hear from the print editorial team members who are currently working on the next issue of the Public Health Review. We are coming to this from a variety of disciplines, including epidemiology, medicine, nursing, and, of course, public health. All of us share an interest in health equity, which we each took a few minutes to discuss in this introductory episode of Season 5.

    Season 5, Episode 2: Obesity Research And Weight Stigma
    (2023-06-09) Olinger, Mariah; Davis, Amanda; Sherwin, Diane
    Health research related to weight and the idea of obesity is a frequent topic in the news. Just recently, we’ve been hearing about the diabetes medication Ozempic being used for weight loss and that the American Academy of Pediatrics revised their guidelines for treating children diagnosed with obesity to include weight loss medications and potentially surgery starting at age 13. Obesity and weight loss research is a complex and sometimes emotionally difficult topic and we wanted to try to look at it from multiple viewpoints to get a fuller picture of the research being done and how it’s shaping healthcare. So, for this show, we talked to a recent graduate from the Master's of Public Health program about her experiences in fat activism and research in the fat community, and we also spoke to a professor and researcher from the School of Public Health who focuses on weight-related health. The following organizations were mentioned in this show: The Radical Health Alliance, Cake Plus-Size Resale, National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, and the Association for Size Diversity and Health.

    (2023-10-10) Olinger, Mariah; Davis, Amanda; Bernstein, Lauren
    What do our pets mean for our health? How does the care of our pets affect and reflect the health of our communities? For this episode, we discussed the impact of human and companion animal relationships with several guests: veterinarian and Assistant Professor of Community Medicine in the Department of Veterinary Clinicals Sciences Lauren Bernstein, member of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians and Vice President of the East Phillips Neighborhood Institute, Cassandra Holmes (Niiwin Muck-Wa Ikwe – Four Bears Woman), Professor in the School of Public Health’s Division of Epidemiology and Community Health Dr. Pam Schreiner, and Deb Barker, who is a life-long animal lover with decades of animal training experience. We hope you enjoy this deep dive into the nature of our relationships with our pets through the lens of health. UPDATE: VeTouch is moving locations beginning at the Nov. 5th clinic to 25th and Minnehaha, a pet food shelf called People and Pets Together. Dr Bernstein wanted to share this resource with our listeners in case there is any interest in volunteering at a future clinic or need services for their pets.
