0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to relatable. Hope everyone is having a great day. Today I am talking to Lauren
0:15.6	Shen. We're going to be talking about all sorts of things her experience with universal health
0:20.5	care in Canada and a lot of the challenges that she and her family have faced the misconceptions
0:25.8	that people have about our health care system in America versus the health care systems in say the
0:31.6	UK or Canada. We're also going to be talking about the body positivity movement. What is great
0:38.2	about that and also what is unhealthy and toxic about that and I will be talking a little bit
0:44.0	about gender stereotypes and just this idea of over correction of society's problems through
0:51.1	progressivism and the dangers of that and how we really need to keep a balanced approach to the
0:56.8	most controversial and difficult issues. So I'm so excited for you to listen to this insightful
1:02.3	conversation. She's always got a whole lot of wisdom. So without further ado, here is Lauren Shen.
1:13.6	Lauren, thank you so much for joining me. I want to talk to you about a bunch of things today.

1:45.4	and thank you so much for, you know, discussing my dad's challenges on your show because I know
1:49.9	when we're fundraising, there are a lot of people who did come over and donate and offer their
1:53.8	support and prayers who heard about it from you and I just it means the world it really does.
1:58.4	So thankfully, my dad was able to get his operation. I think it ended up being in October.
2:04.0	And so they removed this shockingly large and scary looking tumor. My mom did send me a picture of
2:08.9	it and I'm like, why? And then I shared it. So I guess I'm gonna say I think I heard that.
