It's Not All In Your Head: Why Women Deserve Better Healthcare (And What We're Doing About It)

Most women can tell you what it’s like to feel dismissed by the healthcare system.

Whether it’s excruciating period pain, unpredictable hormone shifts, or exhaustion that just won’t go away, too many are told it’s “normal” and to just deal with it. Spoiler alert: it’s not normal. It’s just been normalized.

Premenstrual syndromes affect 90% of women ⁽¹⁾ , yet they receive just a fraction of the funding that erectile dysfunction does—even though ED affects less than 19% of men ⁽²⁾ .Let that sink in.

This isn’t just a coincidence. It’s part of a long, frustrating history of overlooking women’s health in research, funding, and clinical care. And while the conversation is (finally) beginning to shift, the reality is: women are still waiting. Still suffering. Still being told to "come back if it gets worse."

At Legendairy Milk, we believe women deserve better. We’ve been supporting breastfeeding moms from day one, and now we’re expanding our mission to support women through every stage of womanhood. Because being a woman shouldn’t mean dealing with vague advice, second opinions, and a pharmacy full of half-baked solutions.

We’re talking high-quality ingredients , real science , and zero shortcuts —because your body deserves more than a pink label and a pat on the head.

This isn’t just a feeling—it’s backed by data:

• Women spend 25% more of their lives in poor health than men ⁽³⁾
  
  

• 4 out of 5 women say a healthcare professional hasn’t listened to them at some point ⁽⁴⁾
  
  

• Women are more likely to be underdiagnosed , wait longer for treatment , and receive less pain relief than men ⁽³⁾
  
  

• Only 4% of all healthcare R&D funding is dedicated to female-specific conditions ⁽⁵⁾
  
  

Let’s break that down: conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and menopause affect millions of women, yet they remain under-researched, misunderstood, and chronically underserved. These aren’t niche issues—they’re everyday realities.

And while they’re often treated as “taboo,” they affect everything—from your mood and metabolism to your relationships, sleep, work performance, and self-esteem.

Let’s be honest: we’re tired of being told to suck it up.

• 62% of women say their period pain isn’t taken seriously ⁽⁶⁾
  
  

• 1 in 2 women say menopause has affected their career ⁽⁷⁾
  
  

• 1 in 4 women avoid going to the gynecologist because they’re embarrassed ⁽⁸⁾
  
  

• 52% say their first vaginal health issue impacted their emotional wellbeing ⁽⁹⁾
  
  

When you add it all up, it’s not just neglect. It’s a system that was never built with us in mind. And it’s time we changed that.

Our new women’s health line was born from this urgent need to provide science-backed, stigma-free solutions for real women with real needs.

These aren’t generic multivitamins or trendy TikTok powders. These are products designed for women’s bodies and the unique transitions we go through—whether it’s PMS, postpartum, perimenopause, or just the wild ride of everyday hormones.
