The Under-researched, Under-diagnosed and Overlooked Truth about Women's Health

It’s not all in our heads. Women have historically been under-listened to and medically gaslit in care settings and under-represented in medical research, only being allowed to participate in clinical trials in 1991. These blank pages in the history books of women’s health have yet to be filled. Aside from women’s health conditions like PCOS, menopause and menstruation, that are grossly under-researched, women are also impacted by many prevalent diseases disproportionately, like Alzheimer’s and dementia, and differently, like cardiovascular disease. Women’s bodies are different and should be cared for differently. The lack of awareness in the medical community of that very obvious fact will continue to lead to poor health outcomes, taking women out of the workforce, and resulting in $1 trillion of global economic loss. Alternatively, every $1 invested in women's health could return $3 in economic growth. Change is possible. Let’s write the next chapters of women’s health history together!
