Medical Media Mixer is your go-to health and wellness podcast, shaken with cocktails and stirred with entertainment and media.
🥂 In this episode, we spotlight resilience, representation, and the intersections of health and culture. First, we cover Netflix’s Simone Biles: Rising (2024)—a raw look at the world’s most decorated gymnast as she reclaims her sport after trauma, mental health struggles, and the immense pressures of being the GOAT. We unpack the “twisties,” the history of gymnastics training in the U.S., diversity in the sport, media scrutiny, sports psychology, and the courage it takes to put mental health above medals.
Next, we revisit the beloved BBC series Call the Midwife, diving into the 2013 and 2016 Christmas Specials. These episodes highlight public health crises like polio, advances in vaccination, and the role of midwives and communities in navigating illness, disability, and change. We also touch on parallels with modern health literacy and the persistence of misinformation.
🍸 Featured Cocktails:
Fly Girl Spritzer (with Black Girl Magic Wines) – a toast to Black excellence and resilience.
Orange Thunder – a bold citrus-forward drink inspired by the fight against polio.
✨ Key Topics Covered:
Simone Biles: Rising: trauma, foster care, adoption, media pressure, and the comeback story
The “twisties” explained: neurological and psychological risk in gymnastics
GOAT controversy: when is “enough” enough?
Diversity in gymnastics: progress, barriers, and representation
Sports psychology: visualization, optimal anxiety, and positive self-talk

Medical Media Mixer is your go-to health and wellness podcast, shaken with cocktails and stirred with entertainment and media.
📚 In this week’s episode, we explore the power of women’s health, feminism, and storytelling through books and screen adaptations. We dive into Naomi Alderman’s groundbreaking novel The Power—and its Amazon Prime series—where women develop the ability to harness electricity, shifting global power structures and redefining gender roles. Alongside this, we highlight influential works in women’s health and empowerment, including It’s Not Hysteria by Dr. Karen Tang, The Menopause Manifesto by Dr. Jen Gunter, and the iconic Our Bodies Ourselves by the Boston Women’s Health Book Collective.
We’ll discuss how these works intersect with pressing issues such as reproductive justice, violence against women, the history of exclusion in clinical trials, health literacy, and the rise of the patriarchal wellness industry. From the sterilization of women’s health to the cultural reframing of menopause and female rage, this episode examines how women’s voices are reclaiming power in medicine, literature, and media.
🍸 And of course—what’s a Medical Media Mixer without a drink? This week’s featured cocktail is the Shades of Pink (with a bonus Pink for a Cure variation), a bold and vibrant toast to women’s strength and resilience.
✨ Key Topics Covered:
The Power (book & series): gender, social role reversal, and the corruption of power
Violence against women: intimate partner violence, trafficking, systemic oppression
It’s Not Hysteria by Dr. Karen Tang: breaking taboos in reproductive health
The Menopause Manifesto by Dr. Jen Gunter: evidence-based empowerment for midlife
Our Bodies Ourselves: the legacy of health literacy and women’s self-advocacy
The wellness industry: critique of patriarchal influence and commercialization
Health literacy: why knowledge gaps persist in women’s health research
Cocktails: Shades of Pink & Pink for a Cure
