Balancing the Scales Bridging the Gender Gap in Research and Women’s Health


Listen Later

SummaryDr. Kayla Osterhoff and Nasha Winters discuss the disparities in women's health and the need to close the gender gap in research and understanding. They highlight the lack of education and understanding of women's bodies in the medical and scientific communities. They also discuss the challenges women face in the workforce, particularly in leadership positions, and the stigma surrounding menopause and menstrual cycles. Dr. Osterhoff emphasizes the importance of studying women's biology and physiology accurately and tailoring treatments to align with the menstrual cycle phases. The conversation explores the lack of understanding of women's biology and the economic impact it has globally. Women are exiting the workforce at a mass rate because the structures and systems in place do not match their needs. The root problem is the global prioritization of productivity, which aligns well with the male neurobiology but not with the female neurobiology. Women have a natural gift for creativity and global connectivity in the brain, which is not valued in the current system. The solution lies in creating inclusive and appropriate policies, systems, and work environments that support the needs of all genders.Episode References: ►Dr. Kayla Website: https://www.herbiorhythm.com ► Website: https://www.drnasha.com/► Terrain Advocate Program: https://tap.terrain.network/► Practitioner Program: https://matc.terrain.network/► Find a Doctor: https://my.terrain.network/► Dr. Nasha Products: https://www.drnashaapproved.com/► The Metabolic Approach to Cancer: https://a.co/d/44kHGOS ► Podcast: https://metabolicmatters.org/► Instagram: / drnashawinters TakeawaysThere is a gender gap in research and understanding of women's health, leading to disparities in healthcare and treatment.Women's biology and physiology are more complex than men's, and this complexity is often overlooked in research and medical practice.There is a lack of education and understanding of women's bodies in the medical and scientific communities.Women face challenges in the workforce, particularly in leadership positions, and there is a stigma surrounding menopause and menstrual cycles.Closing the gender gap in research and understanding is crucial for improving women's health and healthcare outcomes.
