What Women’s Sports Reveal About the Blind Spots in Women’s Health - Fempower Health | A Women's Health Podcast

Episode Summary

Why do so many women feel dismissed in healthcare — even when they see good doctors? The problem isn’t always the people — it’s the cultural stories we’ve told about what “matters.”

Inspired by sports journalist Kate Fagan’s TED Radio Hour insight on women’s sports, Georgie draws a powerful parallel to women’s health: when we don’t tell clear stories or define the stakes, we leave research gaps, funding gaps, and entire conditions misunderstood.

In just 10 minutes, you’ll hear:

  • What Kate Fagan’s quote reveals about collective blind spots
  • How endometriosis, PMDD, and IUD pain show this in action
  • Why better stories are the first step to better funding, research, and care
  • How this idea applies far beyond women’s health, to any overlooked issue

Listen If You…
  • Have ever felt unseen in a doctor’s office
  • Work in healthcare, research, or policy and want better insights
  • Want to understand the link between storytelling and system change
