This project seeks to analyze the information given to women by doctors about what foods and nutritional supplements to take to help with issues related to the gut microbiota and nutrition, including acne, PCOS, irregular menstrual cycles, and osteoporosis. Through oral interviews of both doctors and biological women aged 18+, I will study nutritional advice given, frequency of the advice, whether advice is given to address reproductive health issues or to address perceived issues of weight, and where women are getting their nutritional advice if not from a doctor.
Thank you for your interest, but this study is not currently enrolling.
