Let's Set the Record Straight

Calling Dr. Google? Health misinformation thrives online — and it’s impacting real decisions. How can FemTech brands be part of the solution and also use the power of platforms to market effectively?

This is what we dig into with the help of one of the most trusted medical voices in women's health online: Dr. C, a practicing OB-GYN known to millions of viewers as The Vag Doc. Together, we unpack how women are really searching for answers today, why misinformation so often wins, and how credibility, clarity, and consistency can become powerful antidotes. For FemTech founders, marketers, and brand leaders, this conversation makes the case for embracing a marketing mindset — not to persuade, but to educate, connect, and help audiences feel confident enough to lean in. Because trust isn’t a tactic. It’s the strategy.
