In this episode, host Philippa dives into the deep-rooted gender disparities in medical research and healthcare. She explores the historical exclusion of women from clinical trials and highlights key turning points like the Women’s Health Initiative and the 1993 federal mandate for including female subjects in federally funded studies. Despite progress, women still only made up 40% of clinical trial participants for major diseases in 2019—while representing over half the population. Philippa discusses the consequences of this gap, from the thalidomide tragedy to the neglect of pain management in procedures like IUD insertions, and the ongoing underrepresentation of women of color in research. She also shines a light on organizations fighting for change, including the Society for Women’s Health Research. Tune in for a candid conversation about why women’s health deserves more attention—and more science.

Welcome to the first official episode of the podcast! I’m so excited to finally kick things off. In this episode, I dive into the deep and often painful history of women’s rights—or more accurately, how those rights were taken from us.
From powerful roles held by women in ancient societies to the brutal realities of witch trials, scold bridles, foot binding, honor killings, and more—I explore how we ended up in a world where women still have to fight for autonomy over our own bodies and lives. I reflect on what was lost, who benefitted, and why it’s so important we continue to question the systems around us.
This is about more than history—it’s about truth, healing, and reclaiming what was stolen. Let’s talk about it.
