With dozens of products on the market to help men better enjoy sex, products to help increase women's sexual pleasure are few and far between. Cindy Eckert, CEO of Sprout Pharmaceuticals, is on a mission to eliminate the double standard between male and female pleasure.  In this episode, Cindy joins Dr. Jackie to share her journey behind creating the first ever FDA-approved drug for low sexual desire in women called ADDYI.  They discuss why it is so important to change the conversation around sexual pleasure to ensure our needs are met.
