About the Book

A look into the complex issue of the women's global health marketplace. Finalist for Next Generation Indies 2024 Book Awards for Women's Issues (nonfiction) Finalist for Foreward INDIES 2023 Book Awards for Health For women, health is the ultimate glass ceiling. And for too many of us, the tools we have make it impossible to "win" at health. The fact is, almost nothing in our global health marketplace is designed to serve and heal women. From external factors like the global male-centric medical model, the predatory wellness industry, and the commoditization of traditional health practices, to internal challenges like stacked societal and familial expectations and our need to power through at all costs, women are beset with health-related obstacles from all sides. However, when asked, most women will say, "I'm fine." Somewhere along the way, we decided that being a woman is a problem to be fixed, not a gift to be embraced. Our health systems at best minimize, and at worst outright ignore, key physiological transitions like menstruation, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause, meaning that women are not supported through the most impactful health experiences of their lives--yet, we're convinced that, somehow, we are the problem. In this groundbreaking book, Anca Griffiths, Marjorie Jenkins, MD, and Alyson McGregor, MD, tackle the complex issue of the women's global health marketplace. With bold insights and piercing clarity, they expose the hidden issues within our current systems, break down the four key reasons why women aren't winning at health, and show you what you can do to take back control of your health journey. With additional contributions from recognized global experts, they lay a strong groundwork to empower women everywhere to thrive beyond the current status quo--because when women are well, everyone wins.

About the Author :
Anca Griffiths is the co-founder and CEO of OM, a precision medicine company where the best minds in healthcare come together to offer support and preventative therapeutic strategies to corporates and individuals. An ex-luxury industry executive, OM was born out of Anca's own personal experiences after attempting to navigate the health market on three separate continents, which showed her the immense opportunity for credible and engaging precision medicine health support. After working with the best and most brilliant minds in health from across the world, Anca was shocked to discover the extent to which women are the biggest victims in the current medical system. Working with thousands of women from across the world, Anca discovered firsthand the detrimental impact the rhetoric about the female bodies has had on our ability to meaningfully support our own health. She joined forces with Dr. Jenkins and Dr. McGregor, world-renowned sex and gender health experts who have dedicated their medical careers to championing women from inside the system. Together, they are working to ensure that women are empowered with the right information at every point of their health journey. Learn more at www.OM-Experts.com Dr. Alyson J. McGregor is an is an internationally-recognized expert on sex and gender medicine and health disparities between men and women, and the author of Sex Matters: How Male-Centric Medicine Endangers Women's Health and What We Can Do About It. Her Ted talk, "Why Medicine Often Has Dangerous Side Effects for Women" has over 1.8 million views. Dr. McGregor has dedicated her life and career to changing the male-centric medical system from within to better study and support women's unique biology. However, educating medical professionals is only half the battle; the other half is educating the women whose lives are being impacted by that system. Learn more about Dr. McGregor's work at www.AlysonMcGregorMD.com. Dr. Marjorie "MJ" Jenkins a well-known expert in women's health and sex and gender medicine, Dr. Jenkins has served in a variety of national roles such as Program Chair of the 2015 and 2018 National Sex and Gender Health Professional Education Summits and Co-chair of the Reproduction Work Group for NASA's Sex and Gender Decadal Review. She is a past member of the USMLE Women's Health National Board of Medical Examiners Writing Group and has served as an expert for HRSA and NIH. In 2007 she founded and served as executive director for the Texas Tech University Laura W. Bush Institute (LWBI), a research and education institute focusing on sex and gender women's health which now spans across six campuses. By invitation, Dr. Jenkins spent four years at the US Food and Drug Administration's Office of Women's Health as Director of Research and Scientific Programs. One could say Dr Jenkins "wrote the book" on sex and gender in medical care through her role as co-developer and lead editor for the 2020 textbook, How Sex and Gender Impact Clinical Practice.Throughout her career as a clinician, researcher, and educator, she has partnered with thousands of women to navigate their path to wellness. Dr. Jenkins has spoken for over two hundred consumer and scientific audiences across the world. A top career and life goal has been to educate and empower health professionals and patients in refusing a "one size fits all" approach within the medical and wellness industries. Without access to captivating and accurate information, women can struggle to know who to trust with their health, and they suffer as a result. Dr. Jenkins believes it's time to change that.
