Why I Started Gyno Info | 1 Year of Women’s Health in Plain English

One year ago, I launched Gyno Info with a simple mission: explain women’s health in plain English.After decades in OB/GYN, I saw the same thing over and over — smart, capable women leaving appointments confused because medicine is filled with jargon. So I decided to create something different.No influencer fluff. No medical gatekeeping. No scare tactics.Just real, clear, practical GYN education — the kind I wish every woman had before walking into a doctor’s office.The idea started over breakfast in New York City in spring 2025, after I stepped back from surgery and office practice. By August 2025, we launched. And within months, women from over 50 countries were listening.This episode marks our one‑year anniversary, and I’m reflecting on why I started this podcast, what I’ve learned, and why understanding your body should never feel intimidating or embarrassing.If you’ve ever:Felt rushed at an appointmentGoogled symptoms at 2amWondered what’s “normal”Or wished doctors explained things more clearlyThis show is for you.Subscribe, share, and keep asking questions.Your health shouldn’t feel confusing.Thank you for all your support this year. We will be back with a second season of GynoInfo! in September. See you then.-Dr. BurkiYou can write to us at [email protected] follow us on Instagram @gynoinfo
