## Resource

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we explore the politics, science, and cultural debate surrounding women’s sexual desire and the development of the first FDA-approved medication for low libido. Joined by Julie Bristow, executive producer of the documentary The Pink Pill: Sex, Drugs, and Who Has Control, and Cindy Eckert, founder of Sprout Pharmaceuticals, we unpack the long road to bringing Addyi to market and what the fight for a “female Viagra” reveals about gender bias in medicine, sexual autonomy, and whose health needs are prioritized.
