What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Women's Health with Award-Winning Journalist Meghan Rabbitt

#217 - What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Women's Health with Award-Winning Journalist Meghan Rabbitt

If you've ever walked out of a doctor's appointment feeling dismissed, confused, or like you somehow did it wrong — this one's for you.

Award-winning health journalist Meghan Rabbitt has spent years investigating what women haven't been told about their own bodies. And what she's uncovered is equal parts infuriating and empowering.

This is the user manual for your health that no one handed you.

What we get into:

• Why women are still underdiagnosed, under-researched, and misunderstood — and how it's affecting your care right now
• The silent connection between pregnancy complications and heart disease that most doctors never mention
• Why your stress response is biologically different from a man's — and what it's doing to your brain
• The symptoms you've been taught to ignore that are actually critical data about your future health
• The breast cancer risk test most women have never heard of
• How to walk into any doctor's appointment like a CEO, not a bystander

The shift that changes everything: just because something is common doesn't mean it's normal. Pain, heavy periods, brain fog, exhaustion — these aren't things to push through. They're things to investigate.

This episode doesn't just give you information. It changes how you relate to your body.
