In an era of ever-increasing healthcare expenditures, yet simultaneously worsening outcomes, many of our patients choose between traditional medical care or often unproven alternative therapies. While the recognition of lifestyle change in addressing cardiovascular and metabolic disease grows, there is less understanding of the impact of lifestyle change on issues facing women every day. Millions of women around the globe struggle with infertility, cancer, sexual dysfunction, and dermatologic needs. Yet, research on the benefits of lifestyle change on these conditions is scarce, and gaps exist both in our understanding of evidence-based approaches to address these issues, as well as adequate provider education when evidence exists. The Women's Health Member Interest Group convened medical experts in these areas that affect women's lives to provide insights and meaningful education applicable not only for our patients, but also in our own lives.
在一个医疗保健支出不断增加但结果却同时恶化的时代，我们的许多患者在传统医疗护理和往往未经证实的替代疗法之间做出选择。虽然人们越来越认识到生活方式的改变对解决心血管和代谢疾病的作用，但对于生活方式的改变对女性日常所面临问题的影响却了解较少。全球数百万女性在不孕、癌症、性功能障碍和皮肤问题上苦苦挣扎。然而，关于生活方式改变对这些病症益处的研究却很匮乏，而且在我们对解决这些问题的循证方法的理解以及有证据时医疗服务提供者的充分教育方面都存在差距。女性健康会员兴趣小组召集了这些影响女性生活领域的医学专家，以提供不仅适用于我们患者，也适用于我们自身生活的见解和有意义的教育。
