Osmosis Podcast: Dr. Charis Chambers on Period Myths and Adolescent Gynecology

Dr. Charis Chambers, a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist specializing in pediatric and adolescent gynecology, chief medical officer of the period-tracking app Clue and founder of The Period Doctor, joined the Osmosis "Raise the Line" podcast. She discussed treating irregular bleeding, severe dysmenorrhea and contraceptive counselling, tackling menstrual stigma and misinformation on platforms like TikTok, and Clue's privacy-first model that lets users opt in to de-identified research rather than selling data. She also stressed patient empowerment from age 11 and that 80% of health outcomes stem from social determinants.
