Why should you care about ableism?

In the latest episode of Health Mastery with Anna, the host Anna Fryxelius, delves into an important topic that affects millions of people worldwide: Ableism. Ableism is a form of systematic and often invisible discrimination and social prejudice against individuals with disabilities based on the belief that typical abilities are superior.

Anna sheds light on the issue of internalized ableism and its negative impact on people with chronic conditions. She also explores the historical context of societal views towards individuals with disabilities and emphasizes the need to create a more inclusive and accepting world. By understanding and addressing ableism, we can work towards building a more equitable and diverse society.

Tune in to this enlightening episode to learn more about the importance of fighting ableism.
