In this episode, I uncover the six biggest reasons women’s hormones are still misunderstood — from outdated medical research and bias to the lack of continuing education in women’s health. I explain how historical exclusion from studies, undertraining in medical schools, and systemic healthcare issues have created a gap that continues to harm women today.

If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” or handed birth control as a fix-all, this episode will help you understand the truth behind why it happens — and how to advocate for your health.
