Summary
 In this episode of The Most Painful Podcast, host Tom Hoppe is joined by Dr. Martina Alberani, Chair of the Young Women’s Health Group, public health researcher, and women’s health advocate, for an eye‑opening conversation on gender bias in pain care.

Together, they explore how women’s pain is often perceived, assessed, and treated differently—highlighting the persistent underestimation of symptoms and the tendency to attribute pain to psychological rather than medical causes. Drawing on research, advocacy, and real‑world experience, Dr. Alberani sheds light on the systemic gaps that continue to shape women’s healthcare experiences.

This episode challenges long‑standing assumptions and calls attention to the need for more equitable, evidence‑based approaches to understanding and treating pain—offering insight, validation, and a path toward change.
