Winning Women Wednesday: Diabetes, Equity & the Power of Women’s Leadership with Katie Mohamed

Loading player...
This week on Winning Women Wednesday, Katie Mohamed brings fiery insights from the American Diabetes Association Conference in Chicago, unpacking the intersection of health, equity, and women’s leadership. From the stark realities of women choosing between medication and feeding their children to the role of policy in addressing socioeconomic drivers of health, Katie challenges us to rethink diabetes as more than just a "sugar problem." She dives into groundbreaking tech, the obesity paradox, and why Ozempic’s hype masks deeper access issues—plus, the cultural shifts needed to combat snack anger, stress eating, and South Africa’s binge-drinking boeps. With raw personal stories and razor-sharp takes, this episode is a call to action: Health justice is a feminist issue, and women’s voices must design the systems meant to save us. Tune in, then ask yourself: What would healthcare look like if women led it?
