Rethinking Women’s Health Across Every Stage of Life

Listen on:

Women’s health is finally receiving greater attention, but decades of underinvestment, stigma, and gaps in education and research have left significant ground to make up.

In this episode of the Human Resilience Podcast, Bob Gold and Shelley Schoenfeld are joined by Mitch Rosen, National Director, Commercial Strategy & Innovation at Evofem Biosciences. Together, they explore what it will take to move women’s health forward—from improving education and breaking stigma to expanding the way we think about women’s health across the full spectrum of a woman’s life.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • Why women’s health has historically been underserved and underinvested
  • How better education and accurate terminology can empower women to understand and advocate for their health
  • Why women’s health needs to extend beyond pregnancy, birth control, and menopause
  • How stigma and discomfort around women’s bodies can become barriers to education and communication with healthcare providers
  • The importance of giving women the information and options they need to make informed decisions about their own health

As Mitch shares, “We’re not doing it to be provocative. We’re doing it because it’s the right way to educate.” His perspective challenges us to consider how becoming more comfortable with open, accurate conversations can help remove stigma and move women’s healthcare forward.

Listen now for a candid conversation about breaking stigma, expanding education, and rethinking what it means to support women’s health across every stage of life.
