In this episode of Five Minute Friday, aired ahead of International Women’s Day on March 8, 2025, we explore the urgent need to close the gender gap in healthcare, aligning with the IWD theme “Accelerate Action.” 

The podcast delves into how biomedical research has historically favored male subjects, leaving women’s health—particularly conditions like heart disease and Alzheimer’s—understudied and underserved. 

It highlights the necessity for increased funding, policy changes, and targeted studies to improve women’s health outcomes, especially in aging, while emphasizing the broader economic and social benefits of such action. 

With compelling evidence, the episode calls on listeners to push for systemic change, making women’s health a priority and turning the IWD theme into a tangible reality.

In this episode we sit down with author Kimberley Wenya who recently published her first book "The Manifestation Diaries."
