Episode notes

What if the reason you feel confused about your health is because the system was never designed with you in mind? In this episode, I sit down with health journalist Meghan Rabbitt, to talk about the comprehensive guide built from interviews with more than 130 female experts across medicine and research. Meghan shares why women’s health has historically been understudied, how misinformation spreads in the wellness space, and what women can do to take back control of their health decisions. Tune in to learn the lifestyle habits that have the biggest impact on your long-term health.
