Endometriosis can cause debilitating pain and infertility, yet getting a diagnosis can take nearly a decade. On this episode of 20-Minute Health Talk, hosted by Sandra Lindsay, RN, MBA, Christine Metz, PhD, co-director of the ROSE (Research OutSmarts Endometriosis) Study at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, explains what endometriosis is, why symptoms can be so misleading, and how today’s “gold standard” laparoscopy still misses cases. She also shares a breakthrough: analyzing menstrual effluent — natural tissue shed during periods — may lead the way to a noninvasive diagnostic test. Dr. Metz discusses how home-collected samples could accelerate diagnosis, guide treatment, and even help find other uterine conditions.

How do you solve problems as complex as drug pricing or childhood obesity? Chelsea Clinton, vice chair of the Clinton Foundation, pulls back the curtain on data-driven methodology. She and host Chethan Sathya, MD, discuss how the foundation moves beyond good intentions, relying on hard evidence and measurable outcomes to prove impact. Central to this strategy is forging public-private partnerships — even with "unlikely allies" such as major corporations — to create systemic change. Clinton explains why pragmatism and rigorous analysis are essential tools for tackling the world’s most pressing health challenges, ensuring that every initiative is both sustainable and effective.
