  • 28. There’s no research on menstrual blood and that’s a problem: Closing the gender health gap with Karli Büchling

    53:54||Ep. 28
    Nexus online nutrition coaching link. https://form.typeform.com/to/umRWcJj4 Karli is pioneering europe's first menstrual blood blank. There is virtually no research done on menstrual blood and that’s a problem! It could unlock so many secrets about women's health, potentially lead to earlier diagnosis of endometriosis and certain cancers as well as potentially removing the need for a smear test. This is a fascinating area of research and I'm personally so excited to watch Karli’s work and research unfold over the next few years and beyond.https://www.linkedin.com/in/karlibuchling/
