Mona Sharma does everything right for her health: workouts, cold plunges, sauna, rest, red light therapy. She still feels unwell. The problem isn't her routine. Medical research ignored women's bodies until the 1990s, designing treatments for men instead. That gap is still making people sick.

You mentioned something that I heard called bikini medicine. So we're living in a world right now where there's finally, okay, we've looked at women's bodies all wrong.
So bikini medicine is that we are inherently small men, except for when it comes to our reproductive organs and our breasts. And that's the only distinction, I'm sure. You know, we didn't really start mandating.
Research for.
Women until the 1990s.
We've studied men only and we've assumed that women needed to go through the same protocols as men.
So that's basically what bikini medicine is. And unfortunately, women have suffered the consequences of what I call lazy medicine.
You know, we were talking about this before the show, but I'm doing all the right things. I'm doing the workouts and the cold plunge and the sauna and the reading and the rest and the red light. Why? Like, I just don't feel good in my body.
