The Optimal Female
Women were excluded from medical research for decades — we weren’t required to be in clinical studies until 1993.
Despite fundamental differences between women and men, most health advice was built on male-centered research, and women were made to feel like we were the problem.
That’s finally changing. Female‑focused research is growing, and we are finally getting advice that's meant for us.
The Optimal Female exists to give you the knowledge you deserve.
