Cat Bohannon: 本书的核心观点是,女性身体在人类2亿年的进化历程中扮演着关键角色,而长期以来医学研究对女性身体的忽视导致了对女性健康问题的误解和医疗资源的错配。她以女性平均寿命长于男性、阉割雄性哺乳动物可延长寿命等例子,说明性激素在衰老过程中发挥着重要作用,而对性别差异的研究不足,阻碍了我们对衰老机制的理解。她还指出,许多药物的剂量和疗效在男性和女性之间存在差异,这与肝脏细胞中数千个基因的不同表达有关。女性对阿片类药物的耐受性更高,更容易成瘾,这与药物代谢差异有关。此外,女性在医疗保健中常常得不到充分的重视和倾听,这增加了她们药物滥用的风险。女性更容易被诊断为焦虑症,这可能是由于诊断标准的偏差和社会对女性的刻板印象。女性的听觉、嗅觉和视觉能力与男性存在差异,这与她们在社会中的角色和进化压力有关。女性骨骼系统更适合耐力活动,这可能与人类直立行走进化有关。女性拥有更多的身体脂肪,特别是臀部和腿部脂肪,这些脂肪对婴儿大脑和视网膜发育至关重要。女性绝经是寿命延长的结果,而不是卵巢功能衰退的结果。人类的爱情和性行为模式多样,没有一种模式是绝对成功的。人类进化过程中,男性体型逐渐缩小,两性差异减小,这可能与交配模式的改变有关。人类的生殖器官结构相对简单,这表明强迫性行为并非人类进化中的主要策略。 Dax Shepard: 作为主持人,Dax Shepard表达了对女性在医学研究中被忽视的担忧,并对Cat Bohannon的研究成果表示赞赏。他与Monica Padman一起,就女性在医学研究中的边缘化地位、女性特有的健康问题(如心脏病)以及药物对女性的不同影响展开了讨论。他分享了自己的经验,例如妻子在怀孕和哺乳期间面临的挑战,以及自己对女性健康问题的关注。 Monica Padman: 作为主持人,Monica Padman与Dax Shepard一起,就女性在医学研究中的边缘化地位、女性特有的健康问题以及药物对女性的不同影响展开了讨论。她分享了自己的经验,例如在就医过程中遇到的性别歧视和对自身健康的担忧。

Shownotes Transcript

Cat Bohannon (Eve) is a researcher and best selling author. Cat joins the Armchair Expert to discuss why strangers want to tell her about their bodies, the reasons women often live longer, and how the medical industry doesn’t study women as much as men. Cat and Dax talk about why women are often seen as having more anxiety, how important females are to the success of a society, and why men have difficulties hearing women’s voices.
