You want to make money, invest in women's health.
We'll care for you better.
And there is money to be made in these fields, these massive gaps.
We need to fill them with funding and research and eventually medicines that you could sell to...
So get on it.
But it's a real it's a real, real problem.
And we can't rely on our government to be funding our there was already massive gaps in our health care system.
When I first started off in this work, a mentor said to me, what do you mean women's health?
Like, look at breast cancer.
We've done so well.
We've raised so much money and we have.
But breast cancer is not the expanse of women's health.
Right.
And the statistics are simply terrible about how much we invest in men's health versus women's health.
Throw out some numbers, because I think- I think it's like 1% of government funding outside of cancer research goes towards women's health.
Yes, absolutely.
I've been taught by some incredible men.
And women too that have been dismissed, right?
It's a systemic problem.
You know what's fascinating?
