Description
Join Anushay Hossain, feminist author, podcast host, and powerful women’s health advocate as she interviews doctors, advocates and medical experts about the most urgent issues in women's health.
Based on her Audible bestselling book, “The Pain Gap: How Sexism and Racism in Healthcare Kill Women," The Pain Gap podcast provides a vital platform for critical conversations about medical gaslighting and misogyny.
Anushay's point is clear: center women's stories and empower listeners to advocate for their health. She also invites male listeners to stand as allies in women's healthcare. Afterall, women's rights is a human rights issue.
Through candid discussions, The Pain Gap podcast provides a much needed examination of the women’s health crisis in America. By fostering dialogue, Anushay aims to drive positive change and close #ThePainGap in women's health.
