Women’s Health Isn’t Being Taken Seriously: International Women's Day EP234

Send us Fan MailThere are some crazy facts out there about women's health that you might be shocked about. For instance, did you know that it was only in 2015 when the NIH required medical investigators to consider sex as a biological variable? In this episode, Cody invites Jess Toolson and Sine Bentley to join in on this conversation about current stats on women and their reproductive health, those that are experiencing Endometriosis, ovarian cancer, as well as how the medical world treats women's heart health and pain management. We want to break down the barriers that women face in healthcare by giving you a greater understanding of your own health.  We want to empower women, so they feel more in control over their own health and have the confidence to seek medical help if problems arise. There needs to be more resources and guidance to improve diagnostic criteria and time, understanding of disease pathologies, and medical outcomes. We have to build awareness and trust, to empower women to talk to their doctor when they feel something isn’t quite right. GPs also need to receive greater training on female specific problems, so women are diagnosed earlier, and their health concerns are taken seriously and not dismissed or marginalized.Did you learn something new today?
