Topics
Lindsay: 本期节目探讨了女性健康与职场成功之间的关系,特别是女性激素(催产素和多巴胺)对神经系统的影响。由于研究多以男性为对象,女性在许多神经系统疾病的诊断方面存在不足。 Krystal: 美国人患病率高,这值得关注,而不仅仅是关注疾病的标签化。过度使用手机和网络会影响大脑的注意力和记忆力。许多医学研究主要基于男性数据,这导致女性的健康状况被忽视。将女性纳入医疗研究至关重要,因为目前的研究数据主要来自男性。 Dr. Kayla Osterhoff: 男性的神经生理系统以24小时为周期循环运作,这与男性在社会中的生产力要求相符。男性的生物学特性使其更易于在注重生产力的社会中取得成功。女性的神经生理系统受卵巢激素周期影响,呈现月度循环变化。催产素对女性神经内分泌系统的影响类似于多巴胺对男性的影响。现代社会更重视多巴胺而非催产素,这不利于女性的健康和创造力。女性在男性主导的社会中努力追求一致性,这会损害她们的健康和创造力。解决女性大量离开职场的问题,需要关注女性的生物学特性及其在职场中的需求。社会对女性的期望与女性的生物学特性不符,导致女性身心俱疲。真正的平等并非千篇一律,而是要承认个体差异并提供平等机会。女性是现代社会尚未充分利用的宝贵资源,因为我们对女性的理解和支持不足。男性和女性的大脑在结构和功能上存在差异,这影响了他们的认知能力。女性比男性更擅长多任务处理,这与她们大脑的全局处理能力有关。企业应承认并利用男女员工在认知能力上的差异,以提高效率和创造力。企业对改变的抵制源于对未知的恐惧和对资源的担忧。企业领导者应关注改变对公司利润的影响,并认识到充分利用人力资源的重要性。要实现真正的包容性,需要重新审视现有的制度和政策。女性的健康需要关注血糖、肾上腺和性激素的平衡。许多健康建议基于男性为中心的研究,并不适用于女性。女性的健康管理应关注激素周期的变化,而非一成不变的努力。女性的健康取决于血糖、肾上腺和性激素的平衡。女性应根据月经周期的不同阶段调整生活方式。许多关于月经周期同步的建议并不准确。月经期女性的能量和情绪较低,这是正常的生理现象。排卵期女性的能量和情绪较高,这是利用这段时间提高效率的最佳时机。女性不应将排卵期的状态作为衡量自身价值的标准。黄体期女性的认知能力和神经可塑性增强,这是学习新技能的最佳时机。女性应根据自身的生理周期调整生活节奏,避免给自己施加过大的压力。

Chapters
This chapter starts with a joke about the podcast's name, "Almost 30," and transitions into a discussion about generational differences and the tendency of older generations to focus on themselves. It also touches upon the dynamics of a baby shower the host attended.

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode, Dr. Kayla Osterhoff, neuropsychophysiologist and expert in women’s health, joins Lindsey to uncover the magic of the female body. From the gifts of oxytocin to breaking down the phases of the menstrual cycle, learn to honor your natural rhythm in a world designed for men.

Ahead, Kayla unpacks the unique biological strengths of women, debunks myths about productivity, and unveils how men + women inherently thrive in different ways. Plus, discover what the corporate world would be like if it embraced women’s biology + leadership styles.

Learn how to sync with your cycle to boost health, balance hormones, and vibe higher. Whether you're thinking about creating (a dream, a project, or literal life), or curious about the science behind the patriarchy’s design, this chat will evolve your understanding of your incredible body!

We also talk about:

  • The massive impact of oxytocin vs. dopamine on women + men

  • Why women succeed differently from men in corporate culture

  • Dr. Kayla’s take on closing gender gaps in science + health

  • Cycle syncing myths + hormone friendly workouts 

  • Hormonal self-care staples: balancing sugar, stress, and sex hormones

  • Why your luteal phase is the best time for neuroplasticity + neurogenesis 

  • The girl-boss burnout era and embracing slower, intuitive creation

  • Future visions for education + workplace equity around women’s rhythms

  • Why science is the ultimate flex in understanding yourself
