Short YouTube clip (May 26, 2024) by Anne Truong MD arguing that premenopausal women, while protected against heart disease, commonly use hormonal birth control and SSRIs more than men, and that these medications can interfere with libido. The speaker notes postmenopausal women lose that protection and face similar cardiometabolic risks as men. The video also suggests technology and female-targeted devices could help women track and 'hack' their health and that female devices may catch on faster than male devices.

Women have premenopausal women have protection against heart disease. But postmenopausal women have all the same problems that men do with diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis. But premenopausal women take birth control and they take SR antidepressants way more than men do. And those things interfere with a woman's libido. They're not natural. Utilizing technology, people can then track and hack. Women can track and hack their health. And I think that the female device catch on even faster than the male device.
