The Vagina is Everyone’s Business with Dr. Marina Gerner

In this episode of Unstable Vitals, we dive into a staggering truth: women make 80% of healthcare decisions, yet only 4% of R&D dollars focus on women’s health.
Dr. Marina Gerner, award-winning journalist, author of The Vagina Business, and professional myth-buster, joins Dr. Lara Zibners and Dr. Adam Brown to unpack why the system is built on male-centric research, why funding for women’s health innovations still lags behind, and how centuries of normalized female pain have kept progress stalled.
From the under-research of PMS compared to erectile dysfunction to the under-researched effects of blockbuster drugs like Ozempic, we pull back the curtain on the biases, blind spots, and investment taboos that keep women’s health unstable.
