#265: If you’ve ever been told your symptoms were “just stress,” this episode will make you rethink why. Josie sits down with Cindy Eckert, the entrepreneur who challenged the FDA after a treatment for women’s low sexual desire was rejected again and again—despite meeting the same scientific standards as drugs long approved for men. What began as a medical breakthrough turned into a 15-year fight that exposed systemic bias in healthcare. Cindy shares the life-changing moment she realized women’s desire is rooted in brain chemistry (not emotion), her SHOCKING stories fighting the FDA (and the media), why her drug took six years to approve (Viagra took six months btw), and what it really takes to push back against institutional power. This conversation goes far beyond the pink pill or even sex–you'll learn the truth about medical gaslighting, women's sexuality, and why women deserve pleasure as their birthright.
