At every stage of a woman's life, starting from her period, going into pregnancy, and ending in menopause, women are called "hormonal", but what does that even mean? Why have we used this word to undermine women instead of empowering everyone's health?
-- ZARAH KHONDOKER FOUNDER, REPRODUCTIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY PHILANTHROPIST, SCIENTIST, AND WRITER
While exploring the various intersections of reproductive endocrinology, I've focused my expertise in two areas: sociomedical and biomedical, and how they inherently are intertwined. When we look at endocrinology, historically speaking, it has always been a stigmatized field of medicine. This phenomenon is further fueled by the various gaps that exist when speaking of topics such as
menstruation, men's fertility, endocrine disruptors, and the origin of endocrine-driven reproductive disorders. Solutions need to be created, through social and biomedical engineering. We need a movement around reproductive endocrinology across disciplines, which is why I have dedicated my life to advancing efforts around social advocacy.
