Challenge medical misinformation and promote women's health awareness with Dr. Jen Gunter, speaker, advocate, and physician.
Dr Jen Gunter, OB/GYN and pain medicine physician, is known for her advocacy for women’s health and her efforts to combat misinformation in the medical field.
Jen is dedicated to improving online health information, recognising the importance of accurate facts for empowerment. Her interest was sparked during her experience with premature childbirth, leading her to question the prevalence of false information online.
Her journey began with the publication of "The Preemie Primer," a guide for parents of premature babies. Later, she shifted her focus to reproductive health due to the abundance of misleading information online.
Jen's work extends beyond academia, with contributions to publications such as The New York Times, The Cut, and USA Today. Notably, she exposed inaccuracies surrounding Dr. Ben Carson's research and challenged misinformation about the HPV vaccine. She is the author of three bestselling books, aiming to educate both women and men on reproductive health.
Born and raised in Winnipeg, Canada, Jen graduated from The University of Manitoba School of Medicine in 1990. She completed her OB/GYN training at the University of Western Ontario and pursued further studies in infectious diseases and pain medicine in the United States. With board certifications in OB/GYN and pain medicine in both Canada and the United States, Jen is well-equipped to address medical misinformation and advocate for women's health worldwide.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
