So, apparently I’m considered “attractive” by scientific standards & it’s pretty disgusting. A 2013 study literally measured how attractive endometriosis patients’ are while they thought they were receiving healthcare. It took 7 years to retract - the same time it takes to GET an endometriosis diagnosis. Meanwhile, millions of people with endometriosis wait 7+ years for diagnosis because research money goes to... rating women's bodies instead of finding cures. Dr. Kate Young said it perfectly: "We do research about women, but not for women." Time to change that. If you want to know more about a lab that is doing actual groundbreaking research for endometriosis. Go watch our latest YT video on the ROSE Lab, who are trailblazing a new era of medicine by using menstrual blood to diagnose endometriosis or comment PERIOD to get a direct video link!

So does this mean it’s a fruit not a vegetable?? 🤔 Scientists discovered the bizarre ancient origins of the humble potato and it wasn’t what you might expect. Turns out, potatoes are actually the love child of tuberosum, a flowering plant, and…an ancient tomato! This nearly 50/50 genetic hybrid pulled off the ultimate evolutionary plant partnership millions of years ago. While their parents dealt with weather drama above ground, potatoes went underground to become indestructible Read more here: “Ancient hybridization underlies tuberization and radiation of the potato lineage” published in Cell

Well, this is exciting! The first HORMONE-free male birth control pill just cleared its safety trial! YCT-529 works by blocking a Vitamin A metabolite that essentially hits the brakes on the s***m production processs- no hormones, just pure science. A prior survey found that 75% of men surveyed in the US and Canada are “very interested” in trying a new male contraception outside of condoms & vasectomies. Efficacy trials are still pending, but if all goes well, this pill could change how we approach male reproductive health in a big way. Read more here: “Safety and pharmacokinetics of the non-hormonal male contraceptive YCT-529” published in Nature Full breakdown in the video! Guys, would you take this male BC pill?

This is the most important scientist you’ve never heard of (but should have) Pedro Cuatrecasas helped oversee the development of over 40 medications, including the best selling drug in history. He also was instrumental to the invention of affinity chromatography at 32. This single breakthrough opened doors to isolating estrogen & insulin for the first time for diabetes & cancer therapies. Cuatrecasas died earlier this year, yet there was no obituary, not a single article mentioned his name or the impact this scientist had in our world. Why don’t we know his name? It’s an important reminder to not just know the science but the incredible minds behind them.

This is WILD!! I guess flossing might just be the new vaccination method?? Yes, you’re reading that right. I had to do a double take on this paper headline, but it’s legit! Harvinder Gill, PhD in Bioengineering was reading a dental research paper that gave him the ingenious idea. There are pockets between our teeth called the gingival sulcus that are fantastic at absorbing molecules. So, Gill thought, why not use this to absorb vaccines too? The natural next step was to floss a bunch of mice’s teeth to see if it would work & it did! Read more in the study here: “Floss-based vaccination targets the gingival sulcus for mucosal and systemic immunization” published in Nature But how wild is it to think that one day we could get vaccinated, not at the doctor’s, but at the dentist!

200 MILLION women worldwide have endometriosis. Most wait 7-12 YEARS for diagnosis. And too many are told “it’s just period pain.” Today, that changes. The ROSE lab found molecular proof in menstrual blood - 4 biomarkers that could detect endo without invasive procedures. Your pain has a measurable, scientific signature. To every woman who’s been dismissed: This research validates that endometriosis is REAL, DETECTABLE, and deserves proper medical attention. Science is finally listening. 💛 Watch my full ROSE lab tour & conversation on all things endo with the study’s co-director, Dr. Christine Metz, on my YouTube!

Menstrual blood was found to heal wounds in 24 HOURS. Researchers at the Hudson Institute in Australia discovered something incredible when they tested menstrual fluid on lab-grown skin cells. In 24 hours, wounds treated with menstrual plasma showed 100% healing compared to just 40% with regular blood plasma! This makes total sense when you look at the biology because the endometrium (uterine lining) is already a healing superstar - it completely rebuilds itself every month in just 3-5 days. That’s lightning fast compared to how other tissues in the body heal! Here’s the actual science behind it: Menstrual fluid contains unique proteins and growth factors that appear to super boost cellular repair. You may have noticed this study was published in 2019 with no follow up studies. That’s because this lab could not get any funding to continue their research, despite the significant results and powerful potential of their findings. Why? Because it’s about period blood. *screams, cries, throws up* But there is a lab in the US that is determined to study menstrual fluid against all odds (especially now) & is building the world’s first non-invasive diagnostic test for endometriosis - the ROSE Study, which stands for Research OutSmarts Endometriosis. I got to tour their lab and chat with the study’s co-director, Dr. Christine Metz. Go to our YT to watch the full episode and bring some tissues, this one might get ya 🥲 What other “period facts” have blown your mind?

What IS period blood? Because it isn’t like regular blood. In fact, from the few studies done on menstrual fluid, scientists found that it contains proteins & other substances not found anywhere else in the body! One of these substances is stem cells & not just any stem cells either. Scientists are finally waking up the power and magic of period blood & it’s going to change medicine forever. I just did a longer YT video on this, so head over there for more!

This is definitely my most personal video yet. I went back and forth on how much I wanted to show, but ultimately this isn’t about me, it’s about raising awareness about a condition that affects 1 in 10 women out there: endometriosis. I felt like something was just wrong with me or I had terrible pain tolerance for years because of my brutal period pains. But last November when the pain didn’t stop and got worse and worse after my period was over, I knew something was wrong. I was researching a story about the ROSE study last April & actually did an initial interview with Dr. Metz over my spotty wifi. Then when I got my diagnosis a few months later (funny how life works right?), one of the first people I told was Dr. Metz I emailed her about what happened & asked her how I can enroll in the study. I had already decided I was going to get surgery. So, I thought, “If I’m going to do this thing, I’m going to make sure it’s worth while and hopefully help other people.” This last year and honestly the years leading up to this have been..tough. The exhaustion, anxiety, terrible brain fog, having weird unexplainable pains in my body, gut issues & just overall not feeling in control of my body was an emotional, mental and physical rollercoaster I wouldn’t wish on anyone. I’m so thankful for my husband, family and friends who have been with me every step of the way in this healing process & it’s been a real privilege and honor to work on this video for you all. I really hope it brings answers and hope to the millions of other women who are suffering in silence 💛 100% of the money made from the YT video will be donated directly to both Found of America and the ROSE Study.
