Ep 154: Why Women’s Health Research Is Broken (Dr. Kayla Osterhoff)

Dr. Kayla Osterhoff is a neuropsychophysiologist and women’s health expert who studies how female biology actually works. In this episode, Kayla explains why many women feel like different versions of themselves throughout the month, and why modern health research and workplaces weren’t built to support that reality. Drawing on her experience as a former senior scientist at the CDC, she breaks down how women are overlooked in health studies, how that leads to burnout and poor outcomes, and what needs to change for women to be better supported.
