200: GenX Women’s Anxiety with Ada Calhoun
On the Well Woman Show this week, I talk to Ada Calhoun whose new book, Why We Can’t Sleep, Women’s New Midlife Crisis really digs into Generation X women and our particular set of challenges. She is also the author of the memoir Wedding Toasts I’ll Never Give, named one of the top ten memoirs of 2017 by W magazine; and she writes for The New York, and The New Republic.
Gen X women are born 1965-1980 and are likely raising small children in their 40s or dealing with infertility issues, we are caring for aging relatives and they are trying to create a better life for their kids than they had.
On the show this month, we talk about:
– How gen x women were told we could do anything but didn’t actually have the resources
– Why the current generation of women facing midlife have such strong anxiety
and
-Why society perpetuates the idea that all women need to do to get ahead is to try harder.
If this is all sounding familiar or you have women in your life for whom this is a reality, head over to – wellwomanlife.com/quiz – to answer two questions that will help you identify your challenges and solutions.

199: Covid19 Disparities and New Research (Part 3 of 3) with Dr. Anuj Kapilashrami
Recently the Washington Post reported that among gender-identified covid19 disease cases looking at 20,648 people in Spain, men make up 60 percent of those that progress to the dangerous pneumonia stage. They make up 59 percent of the hospitalizations, 72 percent of the intensive care unit admissions and 65 percent of the deaths. And that’s not all. The Guardian reports that “The trend was first seen in China, where one analysis found a fatality rate of 2.8% in men compared with 1.7% in women.
Since then, the pattern has been seen in France, Germany, Iran, Italy, and South Korea. In Italy, men have accounted for 71% of deaths.
So why are men more vulnerable?
On the Well Woman Show this week I share part three of a series I’m doing on the impact of sex and gender on health outcomes. Today I have another episode on the covid19 research and I talk to Kapilashrami is a Senior Lecturer / Associate Professor in Gender & Global Health Policy at the Queen Mary University of London. Her work lies at the intersections of health politics and development praxis, with a particular interest in their interface with gender, human rights, and social justice. She is also on the Gender Advisory Panel for WHO’s Human Reproduction Programme, and the Editorial advisory board for the BMJ.
On the show we talk about:
– How Gender and Burden of Care play an important role in pandemics
– Women’s needs in combating COVID-19
and
– How COVID-19 revealed many inequalities and injustices in our system.

Today I have another episode on the covid19 research and I talk to Sabra Kline, PhD, a researcher, and professor at John Hopkins University, whose research is focused on uncovering the mechanisms mediating how males and females differ in their immune responses to viral infection and vaccination.
On the show we talk about:
-The lack of gendered data for COVID19 patients
-How hormones play a role in the covid19 outbreak
and
– How important it is to put a light on male and female differences and the benefits we could have moving forward.
