About this listen

Pretty privilege is real—but what happens when it enters the exam room?

In this episode of Polished Beauty, Dr. Daisy Ayim breaks down the uncomfortable truth about medical bias, appearance-based assumptions, and how women’s health concerns are often minimized, delayed, or dismissed.

We explore:

  • How pretty privilege subtly affects healthcare interactions
  • Where medical bias impacts women the most
  • Why pain, fatigue, and hormonal symptoms are often normalized
  • How women can advocate for themselves without feeling dismissed

This is not about blame—it’s about awareness, empowerment, and better outcomes for women everywhere.

Because being heard in healthcare should never depend on how you look. Let's get polished!
