  • Much needed, well done!

    This podcast is the resource we have been waiting for! Getting good, understanding healthcare as a woman can be so hard - and now I feel so seen. The “after visit anxiety” is something I feel so hard. This is a salve for the nausea I feel getting ready to go to my doctor. I needed this.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pre-Game: What to Consider Before Deciding to Have a Baby
Q: Is there a true biological clock, and if someone is on the fence, is there a timeframe they need to align with to have the option in the future?
Ahmad explains that age affects egg quantity and quality, while the uterus ages differently from the ovaries. She recommends learning about fertility and options early, while noting that age and other health conditions can affect pregnancy prospects.
Pre-Game: What to Consider Before Deciding to Have a Baby
Q: If you had a patient who was on the fence or actively considering a child-free path, how would you counsel that patient?
Ahmad says it is okay not to have a firm plan, but encourages people to consider what they want and learn about their options in advance, since their preferences may change.
Closing "The Pain Gap" in Healthcare with Author Anushay Hossain
Q: Can you tell us a little bit more about yourself, the work that you're doing, and why you wrote this book?
Anushay describes writing The Pain Gap to spotlight America's maternal health crisis after personal near-death experiences during birth, and to expand the focus to medical gaslighting and the broader knowledge and credibility gaps that silence women. She explains how her research reveals large, persistent disparities and a call for cultural change in how women's pain is perceived and treated.
The New Rules of Women's Health with Meghan Rabbitt: Changing the Game
Q: How should listeners approach information found online or via AI when it comes to their health?
Priya and Meghan discuss lateral reading, cross-checking with reputable sources, and not taking AI-generated results as gospel, emphasizing verification with trusted institutions.
The New Rules of Women's Health with Meghan Rabbitt: Changing the Game
Q: What do you hope readers gain from the book and how should they use it?
Meghan explains the book is designed as a reference you can flip to during different life stages, helping readers prepare for appointments, understand symptoms, and engage actively with their doctors.
