MCS & the Medical System: Tarryn Phillips, Ph.D.

The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast

Episode 58 of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast is available now!

It's called “MCS & the Medical System.”

It features a conversation with Tarryn Phillips, Ph.D.

Tarryn is a medical anthropologist and associate professor in Crime, Justice and Legal Studies in the Department of Social Inquiry at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia.

I'm really excited to share this episode with you, because Tarryn is one of the most knowledgeable people I've spoken with on the podcast about MCS.
You’ll hear Tarryn share why so many doctors fail to assist people with MCS, how other so-called "contested illnesses" are now widely accepted by medical professionals, how the medical system needs to change, and more.
Thank you for listening!
