Why Medicine Has Failed Women’s Health - Dr Jen Gunter

Why Medicine Has Failed Women’s Health - Dr Jen Gunter

“Women’s pain and women’s suffering has just been ignored” -Dr Jen Gunter

Dr Jen Gunter is an OB/GYN, known for busting myths about women’s health online. She’s the author of Blood, The Menstruation Manifesto and The Vagina Bible.

In this episode I ask Jen for the truth behind the biggest period myths, from cycle syncing, to menstrual cycles, to the effects of food and why period blood is considered dirty. We also discuss PMS, endometriosis, birth control and more.

Stay tuned to find out:

  • Why we still know so little about female reproductive health
  • What to do if you have painful periods - and how much pain is too much
  • The truth behind “pill panic” and the demonisation of birth control
  • Why exercise is the best medicine
  • Whether you should be worried about forever chemicals in tampons
  • What we actually know about the vaginal microbiome - are probiotics useless?
