“Women’s health needs to be front and center – it often isn’t, but it needs to be.” – Cyntia Nixon
The women’s health gap means women spend 25% more of their lives in poor health or with disabilities than men, resulting in a loss of 75 million years of life globally. (World Economic Forum)

Our Mission
Our mission is to provide modern health information for women. We were inspired to create this website to close the communication gap between men’s and women’s medical symptoms. There is a lack of transparency surrounding women’s health. Women experience different symptoms than men, yet in medical trials, there exists a gender bias in which men are treated as the common person. In contrast, women are not the baseline and are often researched in later trials. We hope to help women take control of their health by staying informed about medical information that pertains to their sex.
