Maya Dusenbery is an editor, journalist and author of Doing Harm: The Truth About How Bad Medicine and Lazy Science Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Sick.

In this episode, we talk about the knowledge gap in medical research for men vs women and how it contributes heavily to several issues from gender bias in the doctor’s office to the experiential gap in treating women-only conditions like endometriosis. We also discuss how to navigate these gaps and biases and take control of your own health.
