Dr. Jen and Samantha Bee Go Full Frontal on Women’s Health: From Menstruation to Misinformation and Everything In Between

Spark Your Health is joined by Dr. Jen Gunter, in conversation with Samantha Bee, for a comprehensive, entertaining, and insightful discussion on female physiology, medicine, scientific misinformation, and the politics behind women’s health.

With the release of Dr. Gunter’s newest book, Blood: The Science, Medicine, and Mythology of Menstruation, the speakers will be able to take a deep dive into some trending topics such as the benefits and potential political and privacy concerns over digital period tracking, why we need another term for “feminine hygiene,” the politics behind women’s health issues, the history of birth control and why it is the most studied medication on the planet, and medical misinformation and its relationship to women’s health.

Whether countering “ancient wisdom” about women’s bodies, doctors who profit from pharmaceutical recommendations, or how to wade through dangerously false social content, this conversation is aimed to help you counter misinformation, viral claims, biases about healthcare, and put your own body and health first.
