“We can’t see cramps — so here, take some Motrin.”
From periods to chronic pain, women are taught to endure — not to ask for answers.

explains how surgeries on women are reimbursed the same — whether they take one hour or six.
And it’s not just surgery. The fields dominated by women — OB-GYN, pediatrics, family medicine — are systematically undervalued.

For over 20 years, a black box warning on hormone therapy shaped fear, training, and treatment across women’s health.

That label is now being removed — marking the start of a new era where evidence finally guides policy.

Here’s what this means:
💡 Decades of data show properly timed HRT can reduce risks for heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and fractures.
💡 The warning label, based on overgeneralized data, deterred millions from life-improving care.
💡 This decision follows a year of progress — from GSM guidelines to national hearings on menopause.

“We can add up to a decade of healthy years to the life of every woman you love.” – FDA remarks, Nov 2025

Science caught up. Policy listened. Now the system must follow.

🎉 Congrats to the incredible team who made this happen!

We’ve studied the brain for decades — but not how s*x and hormones shape it across life.

That gap shows up everywhere: in missing data, mismatched codes, and care models that separate neurology, mental health, and hormonal health when they belong together.

Next week, I’m moderating Investing in Our Brains: The Hidden Story of Women’s Brain Health at the Museum of Science Boston — a conversation connecting science, business, and policy to reimagine how we study and support brain health for everyone.

This week’s Fempower Health Briefing unpacks what’s changing (and what’s still missing): from how datasets ignore hormone status to how CPT codes misclassify brain-hormone symptoms.

Have you ever left a doctor’s appointment thinking, “Did they even hear me?”

You’re not imagining it — and it’s not just your doctor’s fault.

The system was built in ways that make it almost impossible for women and clinicians to win.

ADHD in women doesn’t always look like distraction.

It looks like perfectionism.
It looks like burnout.
It looks like doing everything — just to feel “caught up.”

For too long, women were told this was anxiety, laziness, or “just life.”

It’s time we see it for what it really is.

💡 Comment “ADHD” and I will share my favorite episodes with you.

Our Founder’s Story

I have been on my own fertility journey since October 2010, when during a routine OB/GYN visit, I was told I needed to see a fertility doctor based on a recent blood workup. After 3 years of working with 10 of the best reproductive endocrinologists (REI’s) in the country, spending thousands on IUI’s and IVF’s, and dealing with a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, I finally received an actual diagnosis - endometriosis and immunological factors contributing to my infertility.

The diagnosis thrilled me, yet the future was still unclear. Given I was asymptomatic, questions remained about the stage of endometriosis I had. However, laparoscopic surgery was the only way to know what was going on, and given it was cheaper than doing another IVF, I went for it. Yes, I had endometriosis.

I stopped eating foods containing gluten and dairy and proceeded with my last IVF using an immune protocol. It was scary because, at the time, few believed in such a protocol. However, it was more unique than any other protocols to date, none of them worked, so why not? I had the best response in all four years - 7 eggs, 6 fertilized, 5 matured. I got pregnant and on September 7, 2015, I delivered my baby boy at the age of 41.

My journey did not end there as I both have tried to figure out how I might have another baby in my 40’s and more importantly, how I can use my learnings to help other women. I made many poor decisions along the way because I was learning as I went.
