For years we’ve tracked investment trends at StartUp Health and talked quarter after quarter about how women’s health has been underfunded. Finally, that is changing, and more founders and more funders are actively bridging that divide, creating new, necessary solutions for women, whether in fitness, pre- and post-natal care, chronic conditions, fertility, or menopause. Our podcast guests this week are two Health Transformers who have been dedicated to FemTech before the new surge in interest in women’s health innovation. First we'll talk to Wendy Powell, CEO & Founder of MUTU System, a UK-based fitness platform that helps women recover from pregnancy and regain independence and confidence – focusing on core and pelvic floor reconnection, recovery, and strengthening. Wendy’s been in business for more than a decade and joined StartUp Health last year to help expand her reach. Then we’ll hear from Missy Lavender, CEO & Founder of Renalis, about how she’s helping women with below-the-belt conditions like overactive bladder get the care they need through an AI chatbot called CeCe. Missy's company – which joined StartUp Health in 2019 – is bringing therapy to women who have suffered in silence with pelvic health conditions. She’s not just extending a lifeline to women, but to their doctors as well, who have struggled to figure out how to manage these challenging conditions. Enjoy the episode, which was recorded at the ViVE 2023 conference in Nashville, with these two founders breaking through the stigma around women's pelvic health.

On episode 424 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Chuck Jankowski, RN, BSN, CCRN, TCRN, CEN, a thirteen-year RN with experience in critical care, trauma, ED, and rapid response team nursing. During the pandemic, Chuck crossed the country, providing federal relief to hospitals that were overwhelmed by patient load or strained due to staffing crises. In those hospitals, Chuck saw new grad and novice nurses tossed feet first into highly acute, critical care situations, with no senior nurses available or few able to toss them a lifeline when they were overwhelmed. Now, working as a professional development instructor, Chuck mentors new grad RNs in their first year of practice. He developed the UnstoppableRN program to give new grads the skills they need not just to survive but to thrive in their first year of practice and build a strong foundation for their careers. The UnstoppableRN brand includes its signature cruise for nurses. Chuck also serves on a Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT) in the US Department of Health and Human Services National Disaster Medical System. Prior to, and early in his nursing career, he was a firefighter and later a Lieutenant in the Fire Department of the City of New York.
