Intersection of medical science and psychology, research and clinical practice insights for daily life.

    Lost in translation

    Lost in translation

    LHave you experienced such a situation yourself, where just completely foreign to all around?
    Staying in Shanghai for my research after a quick stop over in Hong Kong, which I’ve visited early 2020 and early 2024. Yes, it’s different too, but by no means as much as the city I so love and lived in 10 years ago. The feeling of being all so foreign and seen as a stranger, is quite a unique encounter in today’s globalized world. It’s interesting to face this situation as a white woman. It’s such a rare encounter and I guess a large majority in the west hadn’t encountered it, on any of their global trips. It’s in a way a good thing for the white majority to experience, makes one more humble, but also at the same time more entitled, a strange combination.
    How do we cope with the loneliness, such an experience brings?
    How to deal with the frustration of being lost in translation?
    How to avoid abusing the privileged status and lack of social control?

    Regaining your balance

    Regaining your balance

    Currently on a global research trip in Hong Kong and Shanghai, combining research and clinical work in Europe at the same time is a stretch, considering the 7 hours time difference. On top being in a place that’s become very foreign and without Madarin Chinese proficiency hardly possible to navigate without a local support. Luckily, I do speak Mandarin Chinese and used to live in a very different, way more international Shanghai. Getting around is therefore possible for me, without getting lost.

    This daily challenging bridging of obligations in all directions and feeling it’s never enough. That’s the hardest feeling of all. So what can we do to keep up with the best personal balance?
    Reflections over regaining and reshaping balance in body and mind:
    Rebalancing nutrition and healthy eating habits, sleep, exercise, family obligations, work, and other social activities. Wow, it’s a lot!

    Take one step at a time! Seek help to mediate, if it’s too difficult to cope with all the tasks and people involved. Be humble to what you know and seek help from experts, that’s very important!

    Global female networking

    Global female networking

    Global female networking
     
    Travelling globally for research, takes a creative mind to figure out the options available to make it happen. I love to combine exercising and meeting people, a walk and even just a quick coffee in between meetings, lectures, running errands, and heading to the airport.
    Flexibility and creativity are queen.
     
    The more we take care and accommodate to the external situation of time zones, season, weather, and our personal rhythm, the smoother the transitions. Female bodies are complex, the hormones, and cycle being impacted by change of time zones, mixing up the circadian rhythm. Be mindful and balance your daily obligations well.
    Personally, yoga and running are a very helpful tool to adjust to Jetlag. Yet, I do notice myself to be more hyper vigilant, potentially the circadian rhythm that’s out of balance, the digestive system, and the hormonal balance in the body.
     
    Note from a frequent global traveler:
    I did understand to slow down, planning less meetings, and being more go with the flow, attuned to my body and mind’s needs!!

    Lifespan development of a modern woman

    Lifespan development of a modern woman

    In today’s society, women’s roles have shifted. They’re no longer out of reach when it comes to power. They’re in power over the most relevant subject of all societies. To decide over their fertility, their trajectory in terms of when and if and how many children they envision to have. Birth rates have dropped drastically over the past decades and are continuing on a downward spiral.
    It is about time to inquire what factors mainly play into, why women choose to postpone their family planning, have very few children, children by themselves, children at a late stage or decide to be childless.
    Governments around the world would like to know the answer to these questions.
    In our global research project, analysing women’s fertility planning, we want to find the root of this global trend.
    As women we need to put ourselves out there and explore the world, connect and exchange with other women from different social backgrounds. These exchanges provoke reflection and potential change of old norms.
    That’s exactly what I’m doing right now; flying to Hong Kong to connect with global women at an event at Upper House on understanding female health.

    Lifestyle, nutrition, and healthy habits

    Today’s conversation, live from Hong Kong with Katia, Nutritional Therapist, NLP coach, and the founder of Omni Vitality. I offer solutions for menstrual problems and women’s hormonal conditions such as PMS, endometriosis and PCOS, and help women regain control of their bodies and emotions. This is the first of many more episodes to come. Stay tuned.

    Fertility plans

    Fertility plans

    How do women decide over their bodies and their reproductive health choices?
    A globally extremely relevant question many governments wrap their heads around. In globalized societies fewer and fewer women decide to have kids and if they do, postpone it too much later than in the past. A situation that follows with its consequences, women naturally deciding to have fewer kids, but in addition having lower rates of success to conceive, due to a drop in fertility related to older age. 
     
    The global multi-center study on women’s fertility plans in China, Sweden, Switzerland, and the US, asks  women about their reproductive decision-making and potential options:
     
    The Swedish welfare state assumes that it is easy to have children, despite that the birthrate dropped significantly.
    How do government incentives and child policies for (i.e. parental leave, financial support) impact family planning of young people in childbearing age?
    Todays women choose to get pregnant later in life, in order to invest in themselves first through education and career.
    Difference in attitude to freezing eggs between women and men?
    If it is not possible to get pregnant, what do women / men think?
    What are these couples willing to invest for having a child?
    Why don't women today want to have children?
    Why do young men not want any children?
    How do young women and men define family?
    How do young people in childbearing age describe what expectations there are of being a family?
    Results of the study aim to inform public health officials, governments, companies, and families, and individual women and men themselves. We aim to improve women’s reproductive health care experience and reduce a constrain on either side of their family planning choices.
