According to a recent American Gastroenterological Association survey, nearly 40% of Americans suffer from gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms that impact their everyday lives. Yet, many patients suffer in silence by not telling their providers about uncomfortable bowel symptoms. 1 in 5 Americans would rather discuss their weight than talk about bowel issues with their provider – an alarming trend as GI conditions are often treatable and can worsen over time. The doctor shares tips on having uncomfortable conversations with your doctor and why they’re so important to your overall health. Dr. Rajeev will also discuss new resources from the leading voice in GI health, the American Gastroenterological Association, to help patients recognize the signs and symptoms of common GI disorders.

Our last guest is Aaron Sherinian, Senior Vice President – Global Reach for Deseret Management Corporation (DMC). He discusses the largest Global Faith and Media Study that looks at the portrayal of faith and religion in the media. It reveals a strong demand across the world for more news media coverage on faith, despite the reality that journalists and editors admit coverage of the topics is rarely encouraged in newsrooms. The study reflects the feeling among the general population that media coverage can perpetuate faith-related stereotypes rather than protect against them. It also lays out some of the factors that journalists and editors think can lead to religious and faith stereotypes in news coverage.
