      <title>Ovarian Cancer, The Signs Are There. So Why Are We Missing Them?</title>
      <description>Ovarian cancer is often called a “silent disease”—but is it really, or are we just missing the signs? In this episode of Beyond the Paper Gown, Mitzi Krockover, MD sits down with Robin Cohen, RN, Chair of the World Ovarian Cancer Coalition and CEO &amp; Co-Founder of the Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation, to unpack what every woman needs to know. From risk factors and prevention to the realities of late-stage diagnosis, global gaps in care, and promising new treatments, this conversation sheds light on a disease that impacts more women than many realize. It’s a powerful discussion on awareness, advocacy, and why speaking up—about symptoms, research, and access—can save lives.

      <title>Hype vs. Help: How to Decode Supplements for Midlife Women</title>
      <description>Standing in the supplement aisle and wondering what actually works? In this episode of Beyond the Paper Gown, Dr. Mitzi Krockover is joined by neuroscientist Dr. Shikha Snigdha, Senior Director of Scientific Affairs at OLLY, who brings more than 16 years of experience in neuropharmacology, clinical research, and translating complex science into practical women’s health solutions.

Together, they break down the science behind nutraceuticals and supplements for women in perimenopause and menopause. They discuss how to tell evidence-based products from marketing hype, why clinical trials matter—even for over-the-counter supplements—and how to read labels with a more critical eye. The conversation also puts supplements in context, highlighting the essential role of lifestyle pillars like exercise, sleep, nutrition, gut health, and social connection.

      <title>Women’s Health Innovation Isn’t Niche — This Report Proves It</title>
      <description>Why does women’s health still struggle to get the attention and investment it deserves—despite affecting half the population?

In this episode of Beyond the Paper Gown, Dr. Mitzi Krockover is joined by Anna Jeter, co-founder and Chief Regulatory Officer of AOA Dx, for a conversation that challenges how we think about progress in women’s health.

Anna shares the story behind her work on early detection for ovarian cancer—and why it takes far too long for many women to get answers. She also explains the findings of her new report, Women’s Health Exits, which looks at what has actually happened when women’s health innovations succeed and grow.

This episode goes beyond money. It’s about why these moments matter for patients—because they often determine whether a promising idea stays limited or becomes care that’s widely available. When women’s health innovations scale, they reach more clinicians, shorten delays in diagnosis, and improve outcomes in ways women can feel in their everyday lives.

For listeners interested in the bigger picture, the conversation also offers a clear, data-driven look at how women’s health companies grow, why that growth has been misunderstood, and how changing the narrative can unlock faster progress.

Whether you’re a patient, clinician, founder, investor, or advocate, this episode reframes women’s health as what it truly is: essential, overdue—and full of opportunity to improve lives.

      <title>From Idea to Impact: Building Women-Centered Health Apps</title>
      <description>How do you turn a women’s health problem into a real, usable digital product?

      <title>How Women's Health Apps Come To Life - And How To Choose One</title>
      <description>What makes a digital health app truly trustworthy—and who decides?

In this episode of Beyond the Paper Gown, Dr. Mitzi Krockover speaks with Josefina Ruiz, Head of Growth at Light it, a global healthcare product agency building femtech and mental health platforms. Together, they explore what separates meaningful women’s health technology from “just another app”—from evidence-based design and patient experience to privacy, AI, and data security.

Josefina also shares her personal journey of discovering she carries the BRCA2 genetic mutation, and how that experience reshaped her perspective on healthcare, advocacy, and the importance of empathy and community in digital health tools.

🎧 Plus: Don’t miss the bonus mini-episode where Josefina shares practical advice for founders building women’s health and digital health products.

      <title>Midlife Metabolism Reset: Nutrition Secrets for Women 40+</title>
      <description>How can women over 40 eat for energy, longevity, and a healthier, saner relationship with weight?

On Beyond the Paper Gown, Ro Huntriss—award-winning registered dietitian and Chief Nutrition Officer at Simple—breaks down how midlife shifts like estrogen decline and insulin resistance change the way our bodies respond to food, and what we can do to feel better.

Ro shares an evidence-based roadmap: how much protein we really need, how to pair foods to steady blood sugar, why fiber and healthy fats matter, and how to approach time-restricted eating in a sustainable way. We also cover which labs to ask for (A1C, lipids, vitamin D/B12/iron) and when glucose monitoring is actually useful.

You’ll hear her balanced take on GLP-1 medications, phytoestrogens like soy and flax, and the role of calcium and vitamin D in bone health. Plus: stress, sleep, and strength-training strategies to support cognition and cardiometabolic health—along with simple, doable swaps you can start this week.

      <title>Virtual Reality Therapy: A New Hope for Chronic Pain and Women’s Health</title>
      <description>What if your doctor prescribed a virtual reality headset instead of pain medication? In this episode of Beyond the Paper Gown, Mitzi Krockover, MD speaks with Mary Catherine George, PhD, Health Psychologist and Clinical Research Program Director in the Neurology Department at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and founder of Comfort Wave VR. Drawing from her unique path—from opera singer to HIV researcher to entrepreneur—Dr. George shares how she’s developing VR technology to help women manage post-mastectomy pain without opioids. We explore why women often underreport pain, how behavioral medicine can make a difference, and what it takes to bring innovative pain management tools from the lab to patients.

      <title>The Truth About Heart Disease in Women</title>
      <description>In this important episode, host Dr. Mitzi Krockover is joined by Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a leader in preventive cardiology and a strong supporter of women's heart health. They discuss the often overlooked issue of heart disease in women, which is the number one cause of death for women in the United States.
Heart disease claims more lives than all forms of cancer combined, yet it remains underestimated and misunderstood, particularly in its impact on women. This episode explores why heart disease is so deadly for women, how their symptoms differ from men, and why their treatment often falls short. Dr. Steinbaum also provides invaluable insights into how simple lifestyle changes can prevent up to 80% of heart cases.
Women often face misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis because their risk of heart disease goes unrecognized. Our conversation delves into the challenges women encounter when seeking healthcare, underscoring the importance of education and self-advocacy. 
Whether you're a healthcare professional, a woman concerned about heart health, or just someone interested in learning more about this critical topic, this episode is a must-listen. Remember, knowledge is power — tune in to empower yourself with life-saving information and take charge of your heart health.

      <title>An Innovative Approach to Breaking the Cycle of Period Poverty</title>
      <description>In this eye-opening podcast, we talk with social entrepreneur, Soumya Dabriwal, Co-Founder, Project Baala, about the harsh realities faced by young girls and women in India and Africa when it comes to menstruation. Soumya shares how, during her time volunteering in these countries, she discovered that many girls were missing school for several days each month because they lacked access to menstrual hygiene products. In some cases, they were even forced to use unsanitary options that could lead to infection or worse. This shocking revelation inspired the creation of Project Balaa, which aims to provide sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions to over 500,000 women in developing and underdeveloped communities. Tune in to this podcast to hear how Soumya and her team are making a real difference in the lives of women who face such difficulties every day.

      <title>How to Use Food as Medicine, Part 2</title>
      <description>Welcome to the second part of an interview with John La Puma, MD, Founder, Chef Clinic and Co-Founder, ChefMD.com. In the previous episode, we talked about the importance of food to our health and ways to incorporate healthy choices that reduce our risk of disease and make us feel better. In this episode, we talk about the benefits of nature on our health and how to incorporate more aspects of it into our lives. In fact, we discussed seasonal affective disorder or “SAD” and the natural way it can be treated. One way we can blend a healthy diet with getting out into nature is through farming, and Dr. La Puma also provides some firsthand information on that.

      <title>How to Use Food as Medicine, Part 1</title>
      <description>If your doctor writes a prescription for a medication, you'd get it filled and take it right? But what if the doctor gave you a prescription for food? Would you be surprised? Our guest today, John La Puma, MD, Founder, Chef Clinic and Co-Founder, ChefMD.com, does just that. He writes prescriptions for recipes that he feels are just as medically healing as some of the drugs he prescribes. He also recommends forest bathing and regenerative farming and has the evidence to prove that they can be beneficial to our health as well. Don't worry if you don't know what those things are. We've got you covered in the second part of this two-episode interview, so make sure to listen to both episodes. In fact, grab a cup of tea and a healthy snack, and sit outside if the weather's good while we talk to a pioneer in the field of culinary medicine and more. </description>

      <title>How Women’s Health Research Affects the Bottom Line: WHAM</title>
      <description>If you've gone to the doctor and been frustrated by a lack of options, then you've probably experienced the effects of a lack of research on women's health and the impact of certain diseases on women. Unfortunately, it wasn't until 1993 that a law was passed to ensure the inclusion of women and other underrepresented groups in health research. Many of us see this as an essential health equity issue. But you may be surprised to learn that it also affects our country's economy, impacting all of us, regardless of biological sex or gender. Our guest today, Carolee Lee, Founder, Women's Health Access Matters, created this organization dedicated to understanding the financial impact of a lack of funding for women's health research and developing solutions to address this critical issue. Don't miss this inspiring conversation on the importance of women's health research and the economic impact of closing the gender health gap.

      <title>A New Solution for Painful Sex: The Milli Vaginal Dilator</title>
      <description>If you're one of the many women who avoids sex because of pain, can't put in a tampon because it hurts too much, or avoids going to the OBGYN because the idea of an internal exam is overwhelming, you may be experiencing vaginismus. Vaginismus  is a condition where the vaginal muscles involuntarily spasm or tighten, making any kind of penetration extremely painful. We don't know exactly how many women suffer from this condition, because understandably, it can be a difficult subject to bring up to the doctor. But if you ask an OBGYN, he or she will tell you it's more common than you think. Join us to hear from Tracy MacNeal, President and CEO, Maternal Medical, a company which created a device to address this problem.

      <title>Why Women Should Take Care of Their Heart Health</title>
      <description>Women often prioritize the health and well-being of others before their own. But did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the U.S.? And yet, it's still often overlooked and misdiagnosed in women. The good news is that heart disease is preventable in many cases and there are steps we all can take to reduce our risk factors and identify a problem before it’s too late. Our guest today, Amrita Karve, MD, FACC, Cardiologist, Co-Founder and Co-Director of Women's Heart Program at Mount Carmel Health System, is here to help us understand what those risk factors are, how to recognize the symptoms and more.  Because before we care for others, we need to take care of ourselves.

      <title>Putting Women’s Health on the Ballot: Social and Environmental Factor on Women’s Health</title>
      <description>How does the environment and your social status impact on your health and what kinds of policy can improve these factors?  On October 26th, 2022, we hosted a webinar, "Putting Women's Health on the Ballot".  11 experts joined me in 4 separate panels to discuss how policy impacts women's health. Our panel of experts informed us on the impact of social and environmental factors on health which range from access to healthy food and transportation all the way to fair wages or even climate change or violence against women.  We also talked about how these factors can be affected by the policies enacted by our elected officials.

      <title>Why We Should Focus on Women's Health Research</title>
      <description>Did you know that men and women may have different symptoms when they have a heart attack and that could impact on the treatment we get?  Kathryn Schubert, CEO &amp; President of The Society of Women’s Health Research joins us to talk about the importance of women’s health research. We discuss why inclusion in clinical trials is important and how biological sex, even at the cellular level gives us clues to disease, which can impact diagnosis and treatment.  We’ll also talk about how you can advocate for increased funding and investment on women’s health research to improve health for everyone.

      <title>Putting Women’s Health on the Ballot: The Effect of Policy on Women’s Health Issues, Medical Training and Practice</title>
      <description>On October 26th, 2022, we hosted a webinar, "Putting Women's Health on the Ballot." 11 experts joined me in 4 separate panels to discuss how policy impacts women's health. On this panel, three physicians leaders join me to talk about how legislation directly and indirectly affects our health care.  We discuss how the recent abortion ban has affected the training of doctors and their ability to provide skilled care to their patients and explore the importance of supporting women in the healthcare workforce. And you'll see how state policies affect insurance coverage, access to care, and even how doctors are licensed.

      <title>The Impact on Rights from Aftershocks: Consequences of the Overturn of Roe v Wade</title>
      <description>The Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade will have an unprecedented domino effect of impacts on our health, rights, privacy, and economy. To address the unexpected consequences of this decision, we invited 11 expert panelists to speak on these four different topics to provide insight, perspective, and ways to take action. In episode one of this four-part series, we address the implications of the decision on reproductive rights - as well as personal and individual liberties - with Kim Christensen Clark, Senior Attorney, Legal Voice, and Heather Carter, EdD, Vice President of the Greater Phoenix Leadership and a former Arizona State Senator and State Representative.

      <title>Painful Sex:  A Woman’s Guide to Pelvic Floor Health (Part 4)</title>
      <description>In today’s final episode of the four-part series on pelvic floor health, we aim to break the stigma surrounding a common issue that many women can intimately experience: painful sex. In this candid discussion, Dr. Jocelyn Fitzgerald—a urogynecologist and pelvic reconstructive surgeon at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center—shares the numerous factors that can cause women to encounter pain and discomfort during intercourse. We invite you to listen in, where we uncover how sexual trauma, menopause, and even lubrication ingredients can lead to symptoms such as vaginal dryness, spasms, and nerve pain in the pelvic floor region. We hope that this series has been valuable in helping women feel less alone in their health struggles and more empowered to speak to their providers about any concerns they may be experiencing. Please visit Beyond the Paper Gown for more information about this episode and the Beyond the Paper Gown podcast series.

In this candid discussion, Dr. Jocelyn Fitzgerald—a urogynecologist and pelvic reconstructive surgeon at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center—shares the numerous factors that can cause women to encounter pain and discomfort during intercourse. We invite you to listen in, where we uncover how sexual trauma, menopause, and even lubrication ingredients can lead to symptoms such as vaginal dryness, spasms, and nerve pain in the pelvic floor region. We hope that this series has been valuable in helping women feel less alone in their health struggles and more empowered to speak to their providers about any concerns they may be experiencing.

      <title>Innovator Spotlight: How Gabbi Predicts Breast Cancer Risk and Empowers Women</title>
      <description>Each year, over 2 million women in the US are diagnosed with breast cancer, and many experiences delayed diagnoses that can impact their treatment options. In this episode, we speak with Kaitlin Christine, CEO, and Founder of Gabbi, the leading early detection company in cancer. Gabbi has created the first-ever consumer-facing risk model to predict a woman's risk of breast cancer, equip her with a personalized action plan, and navigate her to early detection. In our conversation, Kaitlin takes us through the story of how her own challenging journey through breast cancer led her to create the Gabbi Risk Assessment Model (GRAM). This innovative health solution uses artificial intelligence and personalized data to predict a woman’s risk for breast cancer so she can take action to reduce her risk or find cancer at an earlier stage when cancer is treated more successfully. What’s more, Kaitlin was recently selected as Oregon’s Entrepreneur of the Year 2021, winner of the HITLAB Women’s health tech challenge, and HITLAB’s audience choice award.

      <title>Women in the Workplace: One OBGYN's Candid Journey (And Lessons Learned)</title>
      <description>Women have borne the brunt of the COVID 19 pandemic, and nowhere is that more evident than in health care. In today’s episode, we speak with Dr. Kellie Stecher, an OBGYN and Co-Founder and President of Patient Care Heroes, as well as the Governor of the 7th district of the American Medical Women’s Association. Kelly is a stern advocate for healthcare workers and for women’s equity, as well as the author of the new book, “Delivering.” in which she records her journey through high school, medical training and clinical practice, marriage, and motherhood. Our discussion reveals uncomfortable truths about mental health, power politics, and gender bias in the workplace; and how women can take action to help themselves, no matter what their profession.

      <title>Your Vaginal Biome and How to Keep It Healthy</title>
      <description>The female vaginal biome is an ecosystem of good bacteria and bad bacteria. When those bacteria are out of balance, problems such as vaginal infections occur. On the show today. we welcome Dr. Melissa Herbst-Kralovetz, an Associate Professor of Cancer Prevention and Control at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. Among many other topics, Melissa explains what the female vaginal biome is, how it changes as we age, and why it’s important to our health. We also talk about what we can do to keep our biome in balance. The Herbst-Kralovetz lab, which she founded, focuses on understanding the microbiome and host-microbe interactions in the female reproductive tract related to gynecologic and oncologic health outcomes.
