Women leading in health is vital for fostering inclusive and equitable healthcare systems. Their unique perspectives and experiences bring essential insights into patient care, policy-making, and research, addressing gender-specific health issues and reducing disparities.

Their presence in leadership roles not only inspires future generations of female healthcare professionals but also ensures that health systems are more reflective of the populations they serve, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes for all.

Here are two for this Good Friday—

Nicole Shanahan, 38


As Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vice presidential pick, Nicole emphasized the importance of finding a cure for autism and chronic diseases.

In an interview, she expressed her views on chronic illness. She had a personal experience with in vitro fertilization (IVF). When attempting to conceive her first child, she was informed that she wouldn’t be a suitable candidate for IVF due to her polycystic ovary syndrome. However, two years later, she naturally conceived her daughter.

Additionally, Shanahan has grown disillusioned with the Democratic Party, citing their perceived lack of progress on environmental issues and children’s health. Her advocacy extends beyond politics, as she fights for causes like criminal justice reform, regenerative agriculture, and reproductive longevity.

Nicole Shanahan’s journey from paralegal to tech entrepreneur and her involvement in legal informatics make her a remarkable figure in the tech and legal world. 🌟

Grace Price, 18


Grace Price, an 18-year-old biochemistry enthusiast, embarked on a two-year quest to uncover the truth about cancer. Known as Travelingenes on Twitter, she delved into a burning question: “Is cancer merely a random genetic disease?” Her journey led her across the country, seeking knowledge on cancer’s origins.

The documentary “Cancer: A Food-Born Illness” chronicles her exploration. Grace discovered that the most potent cure for cancer lies in prevention through lifestyle choices. Despite its seemingly straightforward conclusion, this revelation emerged after rigorous research spanning scientific papers and interviews with top oncology experts and even Coca-Cola whistle-blowers.

Grace’s mission is to illuminate the connection between The Average American Diet and cancer. The film aims to provide a clear picture of this link, shedding light on America’s top killers. Keep an eye out for the documentary’s premiere! 🎬🍎🌿
