Today’s episode is all about the real gaps in women’s healthcare and what it actually takes to support women in a way that honors our differences, our bodies, and our lived experiences.

I’m joined by Kirsten Karchmer, a true pioneer in women’s health tech and the founder/CEO of Conceivable Technologies. After working with more than 10,000 women in her clinic, Kirsten recognized something big: women were struggling because our healthcare system simply wasn’t designed to meet our unique, day-to-day needs.

So she built one of the very first AI-driven fertility platforms to help women uncover hidden factors that affect cycles, energy, fertility, and overall wellbeing. Her work has been spotlighted everywhere from TechCrunch to Fox News, and she’s built a community of more than 300,000 women who show up for her honest, empowering insights.

Takeaways

Women often lack the necessary support for their health needs.

Healthcare should empower women to understand their bodies.

Menstrual pain is a significant issue that affects many women.

Liver health is crucial for overall well-being and fertility.

Generic health advice can be misleading and harmful.

Nutrition plays a vital role in fertility and menstrual health.

Personalized supplements can enhance health outcomes.

PCOS is a metabolic condition that requires careful management.

Tracking health metrics can provide valuable insights into well-being.

Seasonal changes can impact women's health and should be considered in care.

If you’ve ever felt brushed off, confused by your symptoms, or simply wished someone would explain what’s going on in a straightforward, grounded way this episode is for you.
