Overlooked: Women's Health Can't Wait14 Loka 2025

What should men's role in women's health be? with Sanj Singh

Golda hits the streets of Manhattan for an unscientific sampling to answer this question, then talks with Sanj Singh, CEO of Temple Therapeutics, about his mission to turn uncomfortable silence into curiosity, then advocacy from his fellow men. This episode explores how to turn men into not just supporters of the women they love, but advocates for systemic change. Because moving the needle on women's health can't be done by women alone.
