About This Resource

Evidence-based women's health education designed to empower you with knowledge and support effective self-advocacy in medical settings.

Our Mission

We created this resource to address a critical gap in women's healthcare: the persistent dismissal and under-diagnosis of reproductive health conditions. Too many women experience years of symptoms before receiving proper evaluation and diagnosis. Our goal is to provide clear, evidence-based information that helps you recognize symptoms, understand your health, and advocate effectively for appropriate medical care.

Evidence-First

All health information is grounded in current research and clinical guidelines, with transparent evidence ratings to show the strength of scientific support.

Patient-Centered

Content is organized around real symptoms and life stages, validating your experiences while providing practical tools for medical advocacy.

Educational, Not Prescriptive

We provide information to support informed decision-making with your healthcare provider, not treatment protocols or medical advice.

Inclusive Scope

Content is relevant for women and people with female reproductive anatomy, recognizing diverse gender identities and health needs.

What Makes This Different

Many women's health resources either oversimplify complex topics or present information in overly technical language. We aim for a middle ground: scientifically accurate content presented in accessible language, with clear explanations of what we know, what we don't know, and where research is still emerging.

We also directly address the problem of medical dismissal, providing specific language you can use to advocate for appropriate testing, evaluation, and treatment.

Our Approach to Evidence

Throughout the site, you'll see evidence badges that indicate the level of research support for specific claims:

  • ✓✓✓ Well-Established: Backed by multiple high-quality studies, meta-analyses, or clinical guidelines
  • ✓✓ Emerging/Limited: Small studies, observational data, or inconsistent findings
  • ⚠ Uncertain/Research Gap: Plausible mechanisms but insufficient or conflicting data

This transparency helps you understand the strength of evidence behind different recommendations and make informed decisions with your healthcare provider.

What This Site Is NOT

This resource does not:

  • • Provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations
  • • Replace consultation with qualified healthcare providers
  • • Offer treatment protocols or dosing instructions
  • • Diagnose your symptoms or condition
  • • Recommend specific supplements or products
  • • Interpret your personal lab results

Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized medical guidance.

Content Review and Updates

Medical knowledge evolves rapidly. We review and update content periodically to reflect current research and clinical guidelines. However, we cannot guarantee that all information is current at all times. When in doubt, consult your healthcare provider or check primary sources.

Inclusivity Statement

While much of the content focuses on cisgender women's health experiences, we recognize that people of diverse gender identities may have female reproductive anatomy and experience the conditions discussed here. Where relevant, content applies to anyone with female reproductive anatomy, regardless of gender identity.
