“There is no informed consent without body literacy,” says Katie Vidmar, Natural Womanhood’s Director of Programs, in this fascinating episode of The Natural Womanhood Podcast. “If you don’t know how your body works in a state of health, you can’t wrap your mind around what’s at stake with any given healthcare decision.”
In this episode, Katie sits down with Grace to lay out exactly what’s at stake when women are kept ignorant of their bodies, their menstrual cycles, and their health. She also discusses what body literacy is, and why it’s especially critical for women’s health. And she drops this bombshell: Every woman who’s ever been prescribed and taken birth control to “regulate her cycles” did not have informed consent—and that’s a lot of women.
