Inspiring and empowering roughly 30% of the world’s population, women age 40 plus, to improve the quality of their lives and those around them is at the heart of the Women’s Longevity Forum mission statement.

Historically, research into women’s health has languished. Four cycling sex hormones are variables that make women expensive to include in clinical trials. How diseases manifest, how symptoms present, drugs metabolize, and how treatments are calibrated are clinically proven for a physiology that isn’t female.

Today, technology has surged the pace of discoveries about women’s health, and expertists who provide science-based, understandable education in women’s health and longevity have mushroomed. The missing link is an ecosytem for women to benefit is access.

Women can’t get access to the most current information on women’s health issues through healthcare providers. Providers are relegated by a Medicine 2.0 paradigm that doesn’t keep them current. 

Women can’t get access to the most current information on women’s health issues through government institutions. Government content is typically presented in a manner that presumes women are not capable of understanding basic physiology or their own biology. Ongoing healthcare industry scandals including sponsored research, industry-funded research bias, and corruption enabled by industry revolving doors at government institutions has progressively destroyed public trust.

The women can find the most current information on women’s health issues search elsewhere, however it’s an overwhelming marketplace riddled with questionable science, snake oil, and grift.

The foundation of the Women’s Longevity Forum provides easy to search current, science-based information and education on women’s health issues from subject matter experts that meet integrity guidelines. This facilitates their ability to make better decisions about their health, which improves the quality of their lives, as well as the lives they touch. It can also be a resource for healthcare providers who want to keep up with what’s new in women’s health science.

When women age 40 plus at large have better information to make better healthcare decisions for better outcomes, it improves the lives of 30% of the human population. 

Women age 40 plus are the most experienced, most capable generation of women in human history. Their knowledge, wisdom, and expertise are needed to re-define our social fabric, mold a better future for our children, and facilitate flourishing communities. When they are healthy and strong, they can better step up to the plate.
