What if the most overlooked data in medicine was hiding in plain sight?

In this episode, Cat sits down with women’s health innovator & NextGen Jane Co-Founder, Ridhi Tariyal to unpack the massive gaps in women’s health data—and why they matter more than most of us realize.

The discussion revolves around the vast potential of menstrual blood ("menstrual effluence"). Ridhi & NextGen Jane are essentially turning what’s normally discarded into a non-invasive window into reproductive health. What can this data potentially help uncover? Think offering an earlier, non-surgical path to diagnosing endometriosis,even generating crucial data regarding infertility, & transforming diagnostics and personalized care for women.

How incredibly cool is that?! This was truly one of the most fascinating conversations to date.

Together, Cat and Ridhi also explore:

• The importance of building a robust data infrastructure. This will even help with unanswered questions such as why women have higher rates of Alzheimer's and autoimmune conditions.

• NextGen Jane’s future goals..hint, something BIG is coming in the next 12 months!

• Patient Advocacy and AI

• The importance of "noticing" one's body as a critical step toward better health

• What it really takes to fund, commercialize, and scale solutions built for women

And so much more.

This episode is a call for proactive, not reactive, healthcare—and a reminder that empowering women with knowledge early can change health outcomes for generations.
