Jennifer Lang, MD: Embracing unconventional paths in a journey of advocacy, empathy, and sexual wellness

Jennifer Lang is a medical doctor specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. Alongside her professional expertise, she is a mother to three children aged 14, 13, and 11. Jennifer's debut book, titled "The Whole 9 Months: A Week-by-Week Pregnancy Guide with Recipes for a Healthy Start," was driven by her strong belief in the transformative power of food during pregnancy. She firmly advocates for adopting healthy eating habits during this crucial time to establish a lifelong foundation of well-being for children. Jennifer's aim is to inspire expectant mothers and their families to approach pregnancy with heightened mindfulness and a commitment to self-care. She emphasizes the role parents play as influential figures for their little ones, acknowledging that the journey towards nutritious dietary choices commences even before birth.As Jennifer's own children grow, she has increasingly recognized the paramount importance of providing them with the necessary knowledge to develop a positive and healthy relationship with their bodies, as well as with others. Motivated by this realization, she penned her latest book, "Consent: Every Teen's Guide to Healthy Sexuality." Jennifer perceives a lack of accessible resources that address comprehensive sexual education while centering on the essential aspect of every sexual interaction, consent. She believes that teaching teenagers about the significance of mutual, active, affirmative, and enthusiastic consent is pivotal as they embark on their path of self-discovery and transition into young adulthood.Visit the show notes for more.Learn More & Connect with Jennifer:InstagramFacebookTwitterBooks by Jennifer Lang, MD:Consent: The New Rules of Sex Education: Every Teen's Guide to Healthy Sexual RelationshipsThe Whole 9 Months: A Week-By-Week Pregnancy Nutrition Guide with Recipes for a Healthy Start⁠This episode was made possible by:AHCC - code BELOVED10 for 10% off on Immune Intel⁠⁠BIRTHFIT⁠ - code BELOVED to get one month FREE in their B!
