In the latest episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast, we’re exploring medical invalidation. It's something virtually everyone with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) has experienced and it can be devastating.
Researcher Allyson Bontempo, Ph.D. joins Aaron Goodman on the podcast to discuss her work on healthcare invalidation and discusses:
· What she calls an “epidemic” of medical invalidation for people with MCS and other illnesses.
· The consequences of dismissal by healthcare professionals — how it affects us on a personal and human level.
· How people with MCS, as we know, support each other largely online.
· And some strategies for ways we can advocate for ourselves.

It's called “Diagnosis & MCS.”
It features a conversation with Annemarie Jutel, Ph.D.
Annemarie is Professor of Health in the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health Practice at Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand.
For decades, Annemarie has explored the power the medical establishment has to provide or withhold diagnoses, the clarity diagnoses can provide for people who receive them, and how communities innovate when doctors do not provide diagnoses or recognize illnesses.
I invited Annemarie to speak on the podcast, because diagnosis is such an important and complex issue for folks with MCS. As you know, most people with the illness are unable to get a diagnosis, because unfortunately, the condition remains widely misunderstood by physicians and healthcare workers.
You’ll hear Annemarie's insights about:
The “transformative” nature of a diagnosis.
How many people with so-called contested illnesses struggle to get diagnoses.
How many self-diagnosis and determine which illnesses they have by connecting with community online.
And more!

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.
It’s the first in an ongoing series that we’re calling The MCS Podcast Book Club.
I’m speaking with four women with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) — two in the U.S. and two from Canada. They are Caren Kirk, Donna Reid, Jacqueline Rice, and Ronda Sternhagen.
The women share their thoughts about the 2020 book, “The Sensitives: The Rise of Environmental Illness and the Search for America's Last Pure Place” by Oliver Broudy.
The book is about a journey Broudy took to try to understand MCS. We discuss how the author conducted a lot of research, outlines how we are all exposed to toxic chemicals, but according to my guests, fails to put the false argument that MCS is in our heads to rest.
Share your thoughts about the conversation and the book.

The Hazards of So-Called "Safe" Fragrances: Gertrud Morlock, Ph.D.
22 Sep 2025
00:21:32
In the latest episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast, we uncover what people with the illness already know — there is no such thing as safe fragrance.
I speak with Professor Gertrud Morlock from Justus Liebig University Giessen in Germany. You'll hear her share:
What her lab found when screening 42 perfumes.
Why fragrance formulas are shielded as trade secrets, and how even small amounts can be toxic.
How ethanol in perfume enhances skin penetration and persistence.
And what “unscented” / “fragrance free” labels really mean for people with MCS.
It features a conversation with Frank A. von Hippel, Ph.D.
Frank is a professor of environmental health sciences at the University of Arizona. His research focuses on toxicology and health disparities, with a focus on Indigenous and underserved communities. Frank is the author of 2020 book, “The Chemical Age,”and he is the creator and host of the Science History Podcast:
You’ll hear Frank explore:
· Why scientists developed pesticides to combat famine and diseases.
· The toxic effects that pesticides have on the environment, wildlife, and humans.
· That there are currently about 350,000 human-made chemicals polluting the environment.
· How scientists understand how just a fraction of these chemicals are harmful.
· That chemical pollution poses a serious threat to human existence.
