In this first episode of Mind the Gap, I explain the purpose of the podcast and introduce its five core pillars: Research, Education, Policy, Investment, Innovation. I outline how each pillar captures a different part of the gender health gap, from how studies are designed, to how care is delivered, how symptoms affect our work lives, how policies are written, and how cultural norms shape what gets taken seriously.

Listeners will learn why looking at women’s health through these five lenses gives a clearer, more practical picture of what needs to change. I also share how these pillars will structure future episodes, guide our choice of guests, and help turn complex issues into concrete questions and actions.

I’d like to thank Clark at Pine Forest Media for his incredible support throughout the production process, Studio Indice for their brilliant work on the visual identity, and Lechani for the beautiful music.
