Why Medicine Got Women Wrong - And What Science Is Finally Fixing

Méline Liu

For over a century, medicine has treated the female body as a mystery – one that Dr. Jennifer Garrison is finally solving. As a pioneering neuroscientist studying brain-body communication, she's uncovered a startling truth: if we could understand female ageing, we could solve all of human ageing.

In this eye-opening conversation with Méline, Dr. Garrison reveals how ovaries age up to 2.5 times faster than other organs, creating a health crisis that affects every woman. But her most fascinating discovery? Your brain operates its own 'Wi-Fi system' – wireless chemical signals that control everything from sleep to reproduction.

Dr. Garrison exposes the shocking reality that, until 1993, most clinical studies excluded women entirely, leaving us practising medicine with only half the knowledge. The result? Women live longer but spend 25% more time in poor health than men.

In this episode you'll discover:

How ovaries act as 'architects of health' throughout your entire life
Why 135+ symptoms plague women during perimenopause
The revolutionary tissue transplant experiments extending lifespan
Why current hormone therapy feels like 'a sledgehammer'
How female health represents a $14 billion untapped market
"We have been underserved as a population for a century," Dr. Garrison explains. "I can't think of anything more important that I could work on as a scientist than to try to understand how to fix this."
