  • Lo que la medicina necesita escuchar sobre la SQM: Dra. Pilar Muñoz-Calero

    19/10/2026 | 54 mins.
    Para muchas personas con Sensibilidad Química Múltiple (SQM), el diagnóstico y una atención sanitaria adecuada siguen estando fuera de su alcance.
    En este episodio, Aaron Goodman conversa con la Dra. Pilar Muñoz-Calero, una destacada experta en SQM en España que aporta tanto conocimientos clínicos como su propia experiencia de vivir con la enfermedad.
    Aaron caminó durante una hora para llegar a su casa, a las afueras de Madrid, y grabar esta conversación, compartiendo sus reflexiones con profesionales de la salud, investigadores y personas que viven con SQM en todo el mundo.
    Los temas incluyen:
    Las barreras para acceder al diagnóstico y a la atención sanitaria
    El impacto de la incredulidad y del reconocimiento tardío
    La naturaleza fisiológica de la SQM y el daño que causa atribuirla erróneamente a causas psicológicas
    Por qué los investigadores y los profesionales de la salud deben aprender de las personas que viven con la enfermedad
