Meghan Rabbitt is an award-winning health journalist, women’s health advocate, and the author of “The New Rules of Women’s Health.” With more than 20 years of experience reporting on health and wellness, Meghan has interviewed leading doctors, researchers, and scientists throughout her career and has worked alongside Maria Shriver on The Sunday Paper.

In today’s episode, Meghan joins me to discuss her new book, “The New Rules of Women’s Health,” the medical myths still harming women, and why women need to become the CEO of their own healthcare.

We dive into the importance of understanding your own body, how to recognize symptoms that are often dismissed as “normal,” and how to ask the right questions during medical appointments.

Meghan explains the impact of the language used by women’s healthcare providers, her personal experiences with such terminology, her journey into medical journalism, and the purpose of her new book. She also shares her experience with fibroids, hysterectomy, and other conditions that are not receiving the attention they deserve in women’s healthcare.

We also talk about cardiovascular health, the dangers of ignored heart disease, menopause, and the most effective preventative care. Meghan also explains the long-term damage caused by certain misguided treatment methods in women’s healthcare.

Join us today as we dive into harmful myths in women’s healthcare, menopause, heart disease, medical gaslighting, women’s pain, hormone therapy, fibroids, and how women can take control of their health and thrive at every stage of life.
