Send a text

Welcome to Season 4 of The Gynarchy Podcast! Today, I’m speaking with award-winning health journalist and author Meghan Rabbitt about how women can better understand, advocate for, and take charge of their health.

In Episode 33: The New Rules for Women’s Health, Meghan draws from her decades of experience covering women’s health and her new book, The New Rules of Women’s Health: Your Guide to Thriving at Every Age, to discuss why women have been historically overlooked in medical research, how misinformation spreads in women’s health spaces, and what women need to know to make informed decisions about their bodies and care.

Here are some of the topics we discuss:

• What are “the new rules” of women’s health?
• Why “male default” medicine harms women and the importance of sex-specific medical research
• The rise of medical misinformation and health influencers in social media
• How to identify credible sources and evaluate health information on your own
• Highlights from The New Rules of Women’s Health book
• How women can become more informed, active participants in their healthcare
• Making the most of short doctors’ appointments
• Reducing shame and breaking taboos about discussing women’s bodies and health
• How pregnancy can affect your health postpartum and beyond
• Helpful tips to optimize your health
