info_outlineIn today’s episode, Dr. A and I are diving into a topic that's both near and dear, and perhaps a bit cheeky, to many of our hearts: the kaleidoscope of challenges and chuckles that women over 40 face when it comes to our healthcare.
From the mysterious vanishing act of our needs in the medical community to debunking the myths that surround the so-called "middle-age" like an old wives' tale, we're exploring it all.
Think of it as your guide to navigating the sometimes baffling, often overlooked, but undeniably important aspects of women’s health as we age—gracefully, of course, with a sprinkle of humor and a dash of defiance.
So, grab your favorite cup of tea (or glass of wine—we don’t judge), and let’s unravel the complexities of ageism, gender bias, and the pink pill mystery together, layer by playful layer.
We discuss:
· Ways in which women over 40 are often overlooked or underserved by the medical community.
· How ageism and gender bias within the healthcare system contribute to the inadequate medical treatment of women in their midlife.
· Unique mental health challenges women over 40 face based.
· Misconceptions medical professionals often have about the physical or mental health of women over 40, and how these misconceptions affect women:
→ Physical, hormonal, sexual and mental health changes
→ Low sexual desire and the pink pill
→ Hot flashes and dressing in layers
→ Muscle atrophy
→ Proaging and anti-aging
