Medical gaslighting in endometriosis is based on a long history of racism, sexism, and lack of scientific research and support for women. Dr. Maria Rovito, PhD, is doing the hard work of diving deep into the history so that our medical community can learn from our past and do better in the future.

It turns out that a lot of our misunderstanding of endometriosis and lack of appropriate research and medical support is based on past biases and cultural norms that have simply carried these problems into modern day. This episode brings these challenging ideas and concepts to the surface so we can finally move forward and end medical gaslighting in endometriosis.
