Female-Focused Health & Well-Beingđź©ş
Curator

Why did you choose this theme?
Fewer than one-third of the most successful podcasts worldwide are hosted by women, and we have stuff we want to talk about!
A lot of what we learn about health and well-being is primarily through a male lens (shocking, right!?) This has resulted in a lack of education about female health, and in some cases, incorrect diagnoses.
Did you know that many females are incorrectly diagnosed with depression, when in fact what's happening is that they're going through menopause? Or that there are many cases of mis-diagnoses of ADHD, as symptoms in females manifest differently than the better-known symptoms often displayed in males? Or that, thanks to female hormones, alcohol does, in fact, impact females and males differently. I certainly didn't until I discovered podcasts that gave me the information and tools to navigate life as a female, with all the beautiful and painful parts that come with it.
