As the founders of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine’s Women’s Health Member Interest Group, we welcome this issue focused on the important issues facing women, their providers, and researchers in this field. Women’s health extends beyond sex-specific reproductive health issues, by also encompassing the medical conditions that are more prevalent in women as well as conditions that are expressed differently in women. Inadequate representation of women in clinical research has contributed to poorer outcomes. As lifestyle medicine forms the foundation of true health, the time is now to recognize and address these issues with research, education, and advocacy.
