This is the Gatsy Health podcast with Janique and Tristan Roney.

Well, hi, everyone. This is our very first podcast. We're really excited to do it. This is, we've kind of been talking about

this for a year. Welcome to the podcast. Yes. So we're finally here. I am, I'm Janique and

I'm Tristan. And we're married. Sometimes you'll be able to tell. But, um, but yeah, why, why are we doing this podcast babe well if people are listening to us right now

what what do we want them to take away from this so in a few words our reason is primarily

it's empowerment but it's also about freedom it's's about cancer, life and death, and it's about

connection. And healing the body, basically. We want, we, we, we want, like you said, self-empowerment,

and we want to teach you how to be your own patient advocate, to be your own body expert and not

have to like ride the medical merit around constantly

jumping from doctor to doctor. The point of this podcast and basically our mission is to help

people really take back what our culture has taught us we aren't entitled to, and that is knowledge over our bodies.

And so we want to teach you.

And also decision making over our bodies.

Yes.

Oh my gosh.

All too often we're treated like we are just passive recipients of health, right?

We meet with different professionals.

They tell us what we're going to do.

They give us the thing that we're supposed to take. And then we're just supposed to listen.

And not ask questions. Yeah, just obey. That's all you're supposed to do. And that does not work. If it did work, we wouldn't have such terrible health outcomes in our country, right? Absolutely.

Also, how messy is our medical system?

It's so broken and it doesn't serve the patient.
