Women’s Health Is Broken – Here’s How We Start to Fix It
Welcome to TheLoDown
For too long, women’s health has been a story of gaps – gaps in care, gaps in research, gaps in understanding. Our bodies are too often neglected, misunderstood, and underserved by systems that were never truly built for us.
It’s a problem we feel every day:
When we’re dismissed by doctors, told “it’s just stress” or “it’s normal.”
When answers come too late, after years of misdiagnoses or no diagnosis at all.
When the solutions we need – for our physical, mental, and hormonal health – simply don’t exist.
But here’s the truth: women deserve more. Our health matters. And it’s time we demand better.
Where Do We Start?
At TheLoDown, I want to create a space where we can start these conversations – and do something about it.
We’ll explore:
What’s broken: From research bias to overlooked conditions, let’s uncover where the gaps really are.
The cost of neglect: How these failures impact women’s lives, bodies, and overall well-being.
What real solutions look like: Innovations, education, and the power of taking control of our wellness journeys.
This Substack is for you. It’s about creating a smarter, louder conversation around women’s health – one where we’re seen, heard, and informed.
Why This Matters
In my work as the founder of Love Wellness, I’ve spent years advocating for better solutions for women’s care. I’ve learned that balance – the kind we deserve – doesn’t just happen. We build it through knowledge, community, and action.
This is our starting point. Together, let’s demand more, share more, and create the change we need to feel our best – body, mind, and spirit.
Now I want to hear from you:
Where have you felt let down when it comes to your health?
What questions do you have about your body, wellness, or balance?
What does better look like for you?
Drop your thoughts in the comments – this is your space, and these are conversations we need to be having.
Because women’s health may be broken, but fixing it starts here.
As someone living with cancer (emphasis on the living!) my almost 10 year cancer journey has made me a strong Health Care Advocate for myself. It is something I am passionate about, sharing my journey to help others. I am very happy to be a part of this conversation 💜
Im from the UK. I’ve been living with stage 4 endometriosis for 6 years. However, my lesser symptoms started 15 years ago. In all my years I have, not one single time been seen my a female doctor. And each time I’m seen, it’s like I’m questioned on my symptoms. Like “you really can’t pass urine?” No! I can’t that’s not something you make up.
I’m 35 I’ve not been lucky enough to have children, the condition has left me infertile. My doctors would next like to remove both my ovaries and my womb. Which is scary, but also constantly has me questioning. Is that necessary? Do I really need that.
Surely there must be another way!
The last two months I’ve been experimenting myself with detox’s, juicing, herbal remedies etc. I’m not ready to lose everything. There must be another way, other than these major surgeries. 💛
P.S I really want to try some love wellness products. There are zero female thought/based products over here. I hope you start selling over the pond soon. X
