Episode 103: Hyperemesis Gravidarum: The Truth and the Myths
from Healthcare Unfiltered · host Chadi Nabhan
To tackle the relatively unknown topic of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), Chadi invites four experts from the Hyperemesis Education & Research (HER) Foundation: Kimber MacGibbon, RN, executive director and co-founder; Aimee Brecht-Doscher, MD, adviser and long-time supporter; Kelly Ryerson, MBA, chair of the board of directors; and Marlena Fejzo, PhD, survivor of HG and research advisor. The group begins by defining HG—with respect to the traditional definition as well as the modern understanding—and its prevalence among pregnant women today. The conversation evolves into the myths and misconceptions surrounding HG, the current research landscape and funding availability, progress in identifying and sequencing an important gene, drug development updates, and a whole lot more.Read more about the HER Foundation website.https://www.hyperemesis.org/Check out Chadi’s website for all Healthcare Unfiltered episodes and other content. www.chadinabhan.com/Watch all Healthcare Unfiltered episodes on Youtube. www.youtube.com/channel/UCjiJPTpIJdIiukcq0UaMFsA
