Between trackers, lab tests, supplements, hormone experts, social media, and podcasts, women have more access to health information than ever before. However, despite (and sometimes because) of these resources, many women end up feeling confused and distrustful of their own bodies.

In this episode, Dr. Komal Patil-Sisodia explores various factors contributing to the ambiguity, including long-standing systemic gaps in women’s healthcare. From “normal” lab results that don’t align with very real symptoms to a healthcare system built around specialties instead of whole-body care, women have been conditioned to push through pain and discomfort in order to adjust to everyone’s convenience but their own.

If you’ve struggled to find clear, conclusive answers about your health, this episode highlights why self-advocacy is essential in securing the individual care and comprehensive treatment you deserve.
