Did you know women were only mandated to be included in clinical research trials from 1993 onwards? Or that nearly 80% of all autoimmune conditions affect women - yet so much of our medical system still overlooks how female bodies actually work?
In this powerful episode of the Brain Series by By Blu Naturopathy, Briana breaks down the gender gap in medical research, why your ‘random’ symptoms are never random, and how to start advocating for yourself in a system that wasn’t designed with women’s health in mind.
In this episode we’ll unpack:
Why most health research is still based on male biology - and what that means for you.
How the system’s gaps can lead to your symptoms being minimised, misdiagnosed or ignored.
How to reframe your symptoms as clues that piece together the bigger picture.
Why you should never feel guilty for asking more questions, seeking a second opinion or pushing for answers.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in your healing journey or discouraged by slow progress- especially with digestive issues, breakouts, or hormonal symptoms-this is your reminder that you're not alone, and you're not doing it wrong.
I created With Blu because I know firsthand how frustrating gut and skin issues can be- and I also know that quick fixes don’t work. As a Bachelor-qualified Naturopath, I’ve helped hundreds of women heal their gut, clear their skin, and finally feel their best by addressing the root causes, not just the symptoms.
