In this episode of Second Opinion, Leslie Schrock, author of Bumpin' and Fertility Rules, joins Christina Farr, Ash Zenooz, and Luba Greenwood to discuss women's health, men's health, and fertility. They dive into why men need to be more involved in fertility and pregnancy conversations (it's not just a women's issue!). They address the gaps in women's health research, including the lack of understanding about how drugs and diets (like intermittent fasting) affect women differently than men. Leslie emphasizes the need for more honest, comprehensive information about pregnancy and women's health. They also discuss the potential future of women's health companies and the need for a more holistic approach to addressing health concerns beyond reproductive issues.
