Elizabeth A. Poynor MD PHD
Founder and Editor of Balanced Women's Health

We are excited to begin posting on our site concerning updates on important topics and advances in women's health. The landscape of health care is changing rapidly and we look forward to providing regular updates and commentary on issues relating to women's health and well being. We will comment not only on traditional western medicine, but also integrate newer more natural approaches to the maintenance of health and well being for women. While nothing can replace your trip to your health care provider, we hope to provide you with information to discuss with them in order to provide the basis for a proactive approach to your health. No posts are meant to be individual medical advice, as this can only be made by the person who knows your medical history.
