Kayla, absolutely! Women’s healthcare has been underserved for far too long, and the momentum we’re seeing now is overdue but encouraging. I’m hopeful that the increased focus and investment will drive real, lasting change. Thank you for your support. Excited to see what the future holds!
I find my reaction to reading this multi varied. For years as I’ve been edging deeper into perimenopause and experiencing more issues, my holistic practitioners and I and my friends are all screaming for more medical studies. And yet seeing it all in $ signs and investment opportunities feels a little conflicting for my feminine soul. Again, I so appreciate your work and of course want to continue to learn more. Just wondering if anyone else has that reaction.
Holli, I really appreciate you sharing this perspective. It’s a tension I think about often, how we ensure women’s health gets the investment it deserves without reducing it to just dollar signs. The reality is that research and innovation follow funding, and for too long, women’s health has been underfunded and overlooked.
In a capitalist system, capital flows where there’s an expectation of return. The challenge and opportunity is making the case that investing in women’s health isn’t just a social good but a financially sound decision.
My hope is that by framing it as both an economic opportunity and a healthcare necessity, we can drive more capital into solutions that genuinely serve women’s needs. I’d love to hear your thoughts on how we can strike this balance. Thanks for engaging in the conversation!
So glad my comment landed okay. Yes, I totally understand the economics of it and why (have a Biz Mgmg degree and always loved Econ and Finance)....I get so excited by your notes and then reading this post is like a little prickly....but I get we have to work within the current system for now. Or at least there is room hopefully for that. I did go to a great community talk on Int'l Women's day here and they were giving examples of how to take actions to start taking steps away from captalism. I need to learn more about what they are saying. For me, I am just so focused on helping deconstruct the damn ideology -- hoping it will spark these conversations by people better at this kind of innovation than I am. I think once that happens, then I could add...but will definitely be thinking on it. off the top of my head, I think getting money into the research these holistic practioners are spearheading would be my vote...but as you will hear in that podcast I sent this morning, there isn't money in natural occuring molecules (bioidentical HRT) so the research money ain't flowing there. So I am talking myself in circles now...
Great post! It’s about time for accessible women’s healthcare to be taken seriously. Looking forward to new care options in the future.
