The Foundation for Gender-Specific Medicine
We know the difference
Exploring the differences in human function between men and women.
Sex does matter. It matters in ways that we did not expect. Undoubtedly, it also matters in ways that we have not begun to imagine.
Biological gender and environment profoundly impact the way genes function and, as a result, the very structure and composition of tissues and organs.
The Foundation for Gender Specific Medicine (FGSM) is a New York based non-profit organization that supports the investigation of the ways in which biological sex and gender impact normal human function. Men and women experience many of the same diseases differently. Gender-specific science produces lifesaving insights into human physiology and improves healthcare for all.

It’s becoming clear that obesity drugs might suppress addiction in ways related to how they suppress appetite. For appetite control, animal studies suggest that the drugs act predominantly on GLP-1 receptors on neurons located in the hypothalamus and the hindbrain. These regions regulate functions such as hunger, body temperature and heart rate.
America’s Glaring Gender Health Gap: The ERA is the Answer
“Closing the gap would give the 3.9 billion women in the world today an extra seven healthy days a year, or an average of 500 days over a lifetime.” Sheila Uria Veliz and Mehek Bapna are not related, at least not by blood, but they share something similar. Both young women had their teenage years upended by debilitating illnesses that took years to diagnose.
An Allegory About Mankind’s Transformative Adventure
Our video is an allegorical conversation between Prometheus, the Titan who defied Zeus and gave humans the gift of fire, and the human spirit, represented by Galileo Galilei, whose 15th century exploration of celestial bodies was the initial step in our achievement of another transformative triumph of mankind: our ability to leave the earth and travel to -and establish human settlements on -other celestial bodies.
