Can you spot a women's health fake?! Our founder Elena Mills recently teamed up with specialist women's health consultant and strategist Hannah Wrathall from Wrapp Consulting to write an article about interpreting clinical data in the women's health space,. At The Salve, we make it our mission to champion health literacy and health equity, particularly in the women's health space. This article was conceived to support women (in fact, all genders) to hone their critical thinking skills, to really look closely at, and question the information we’re being presented with in women’s health (and indeed in all aspects of health and life!). Knowledge is power after all. Give it a read and do let us know what you think! What else can we do together to support education in the women's health space?

As women's health goes 'mainstream' (urgh, I hate the term), there's going to be gold rush. While there are loads of founders doing the hard work, going the distance and taking the time to get their solutions right, there will be imposters. Those who see the opportunity to get in quick and make a fast buck. It's happening already with the 'meno-washing' brands whose ads were pulled by the Advertising Standards Authority. Why? Because they were making bold clinical claims about solving brain fog with no evidence to back it up. So, how do we know who to trust? I think its starts with getting educated on 'good science'. We all need to raise our clinical literacy so we can spot fact from fiction. I've teamed up with Elena Mills, a medical affairs expert from The Salve Health | Certified B Corporation to write a beginner's guide to interpreting and understanding clinical data.
