Adaptive Medicine: Systems Thinking, Feminism, and Midlife Women's Health with Dr. Lisa Taylor-Swanson

In this episode of the Yo San University 39GEN podcast, host Emily Von Urff sits down with clinician-scientist and acupuncturist Dr. Lisa Taylor-Swanson to explore the powerful intersection of systems thinking, feminism, and East Asian medicine in midlife women’s healthcare. As an "academic unicorn" with 17 years of private practice and a PhD from the University of Washington, Dr. Taylor-Swanson discusses the systemic underfunding of women's health research and details her journey in creating MENOGAP — an innovative, group-visit intervention model designed to bridge the massive gaps in conventional menopausal care by combining evidence-based education, social support, and acupuncture.
