Understanding these differences and developing a gender-based approach focusing on the specific needs and conditions of women is crucial to achieve effective nutritional strategies for women’s health.

Almost always, women are sent on their way after a quick diagnosis, with a prescription for what at first seems to be simple pharmaceutical answer to their problems. Unfortunately medical solutions often don't work very well and have side effects that may seem as bad as or worse than the original illness.
