This week, the Womenkind Collective Spill The Tea Podcast tackles one of the most urgent issues in modern medicine: the systemic gender bias that has shaped women’s healthcare for centuries. 

We dive deep into the systemic gender bias baked into healthcare and we’re beyond excited to introduce a guest who is fighting for change.

After hearing countless stories from listeners, guests, and our own lived experiences, one thing is clear: 

For years, we’ve uncovered story after story about the massive gaps in women’s health research and this episode proves once again that these aren’t isolated incidents.

They stem from centuries of male-centric medicine and underfunded research, the lack of research in women’s health is not an accident, it’s structural.

In this episode, we unpack:

• The long-standing funding gaps in women’s health research

• The near-halt of major US research databases since October 2025

• The consequences for gender-specific research and medicine

• How women turn dismissal into determination

We’re so thrilled to introduce a guest who brings expertise, fire, and a fearless voice to this conversation.

Stick around for a beautiful quote to carry you through the week.
