Our Service Trip to Peru | The Pelvic & Sexual Health Disparities Across the Globe w/ Heather Florio

In this episode from The Optimal Body Podcast, hosts Doc Jen and Doctor Dom, both doctors of physical therapy, are joined by Heather Florio, the second-generation owner of Desert Harvest and a women's health advocate. They discuss their trip to Peru in August 2024, intended to educate women about pelvic and sexual health. Despite facing challenges like lost luggage and cultural barriers, they pivoted to educate local clinicians instead. The conversation highlights global disparities in women's health education and the importance of cultural sensitivity. The episode underscores the need for ongoing advocacy and education to empower women worldwide.
