The podcast I Am You is hosted by Dr. Nitza Alvarez, a board-certified cardiologist and bestselling author. The episode aims to empower women to take charge of their health and advocate for themselves within the healthcare system. In this episode, Dr. Alvarez interviews Deb Williams about the critical importance of self-advocacy in healthcare.
Deb shares her experiences of being dismissed by doctors, in which she had to seek alternative care to receive proper treatment. She also recounts her heart attack at age 46, where medical professionals initially dismissed her symptoms due to her age and appearance, highlighting the gender biases in cardiovascular care.
The podcast seeks to inspire women to become the "CEO of their own health" by sharing real-life stories demonstrating the power of persistence and self-advocacy in overcoming barriers in the healthcare system. It encourages listeners to trust their instincts, speak up about their health concerns, and seek providers who respect and advocate for their well-being.
