Danielle Robay Instagram – Q 💡: Why are women more likely than men to die from heart attacks? + Are you asking the right questions at your doctor’s office? A 💋: On this weeks episode of #PRETTYSMART @daniellerobay + @hithapalepu dive into 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 + 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝. As the CEO of Rhoshan Pharmaceuticals, Hitha is sharing how the pervasiveness of gender bias in the medical industry has led to a slew of challenges for women seeking care like: •pain is often dismissed or ignored (medical gaslighting) •why women often face higher healthcare costs •women’s reproductive health concerns, such as menstrual disorders, endometriosis are often under-researched, leading to limited understanding and treatment options. •Only 39% of participants in clinical trials for drugs and medical devices are women, despite women representing approximately 50% of the population. * If you have a woman in your life that you love, I recommend sending them this episode (with the time code 17:20– heart attacks). The information Hitha shares honestly may just save their life (like it saved her nannies life). New York, New York
