In this episode, podcast host Chloe Harrouche engages in an insightful conversation with Dr. Elizabeth Comen (@drelizabethcomen), a distinguished breast cancer oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering, and the author of the book “All In Her Head: The Truth and Lies Early Medicine Taught Us About Women's Bodies and Why It Matters Today.”
The discussion traverses personal experiences, professional insights, and the evolving landscape of women's healthcare. Dr. Comen shares her journey of combining her expertise as an oncologist with her passion for understanding the broader context of medicine, rooted in her academic background in the history of medicine and science. She reflects on the profound impact of societal, cultural, and historical factors on women's health, particularly in the realm of breast cancer and beyond.
Chloe and Dr. Comen navigate through various topics, including the challenges facing the wellness industry, the significance of primary care, and the misaligned incentives that hinder access to quality care.
