If you’re following the headlines on women’s health rights and FemTech privacy, you know that 2025 is shaping up to be a year of major changes. Some are hopeful, others are more concerning.
In the latest episode of The Wellness Pharmacist, I unpack three of the biggest stories making a huge impact on women’s health today. First, the UK is moving toward the decriminalization of abortion, which is a shift that could have legal and cultural ripple effects across Europe. I explain what this change means in real-world terms, especially for patients and providers who’ve lived in the gray area of legal ambiguity.
Then we cross the Atlantic, where the United States continues its legal battle over abortion access. From state-level restrictions to nationwide pushback, I break down how this ongoing conflict is affecting women’s (female) autonomy, physician responsibility, and public health outcomes.
Finally, we enter the digital world: FemTech. Whether it’s a period-tracking app or a fertility tool, more women/girls are using technology to understand their bodies. But at what cost? I discuss the data privacy crisis happening right now and ask whether healthcare apps should be held to the same standards as your physician.
If you’re someone who believes healthcare should be safe, private, and equitable, this episode is for you.
🎧 Listen in and join the conversation. Because when it comes to women’s health rights and FemTech privacy, we all deserve to know the truth.
