After years of being dismissed by doctors, Priyanka Jain turned her own health struggles into a mission — creating Evvy to redefine how we understand women’s health.
“For so long, we’ve been told that women’s bodies are too complicated to study. The truth is, no one ever tried hard enough. I want to change that.”
When Priyanka Jain’s health started to decline, every doctor visit ended with the same vague advice — drink more water, sleep more, stress less. No one could explain what was really happening.
Her search for answers uncovered a shocking truth: women weren’t even included in U.S. clinical research until 1993, and they’re still diagnosed an average of four years later than men.
Determined to change that, Priyanka co-founded Evvy, a company using data from the vaginal microbiome to give women real insight into their own bodies. In this episode, she shares how frustration turned into innovation — from building schools with the UN at fifteen to building one of the most groundbreaking health-tech startups for women today.
