We need to start believing women's pain...

A $300 million investment into improving female health could generate around $13 billion for the global economy. If there was some more homework done by some of these investors, they’d understand why this is an area that is ripe for growth and investment.

Women with #endometriosis have 3X higher healthcare costs on avg. Time to diagnosis is 7+ years, longer for Black women. Half of women with endometriosis reported earning less money as a result of symptoms. @McKinsey mckinsey.com/industries/life…
These are some scary and accurate words around the state of #womenshealth.
“It’s considered ‘normal’ for women’s reproductive functions to be a bit abnormal — and if it’s really bad, well, maybe it’s all in your head.”

Did you know that there is no clinical standard of care for #endometriosis? Nope, no standardized training in medical school. And, most healthcare codes don't reimburse for the surgeries that could be most effective.
The onus is on patients. Again.

If you have #endometriosis I would love to hear your story. We're getting ready to launch our #endo platform and we want your feedback. Please DM me.
Some facts about endo:
- Affects 1 in 10 women
- Takes 8 yrs to get diagnosed
- Lower salary and job growth
- NO CURE
This week on the @ElanzaWellness newsletter, we discuss the alarming issues with #endometriosis and how celebs like @amyschumer are getting through it. Also, should the term #womenshealth be banned?

I am so thrilled to share that the waitlist is now open for our #endometriosis program focused on supporting the 6.5M AFAB people that have struggled in extreme pain without access to quality, comprehensive care.

Does #eggfreezing guarantee a baby? Co-founder @CMHendy separates fact from fiction on @BBCRadio4. Listen in on her interview here; bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:b…
Jennifer Aniston deserves massive kudos for having the courage to speak out about her #IVF struggles. They are far more common than you think:
- 2% of births in the U.S. are from assisted reproductive technology
- 87% of infertile women have anxiety and 41% have depression.
In a raw new interview, the 53-year-old reveals that she tried to start a family several years ago, but life had other plans for her. on.today.com/3zVVMB9
