Description

This episode explores why so many women feel chronically exhausted: society, medicine, and workplaces are built around a 24-hour male model while women's hormones follow a 28-day cycle, causing predictable mismatches and burnout.


The host explains how this mismatch leads to emotional and physical consequences across life stages—especially menopause—and shares a call to reframe health and policy to honor cyclical biology so women can protect their energy and wellbeing.
