Edward Gerald Woodward, MD, PhD, FACOG, is a retired obstetrician-gynecologist with 45 years of clinical experience. He is board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and holds a doctorate in biochemistry.
Throughout his medical career, Dr. Woodward placed a strong emphasis on patient education. He believed that people make better decisions about their health when complex medical information is explained clearly, practically, and without unnecessary confusion.
His books continue that approach across different stages of life. He has written about puberty and growing up, women’s health, menopause and hormone therapy, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, balance and fall prevention, exercise for older adults, and healthy aging.
In retirement, Dr. Woodward has also made Tai Chi part of his own exercise program. After knee surgery, he found its slow, controlled movements especially helpful for maintaining balance, knee mobility, and confidence in movement. That personal experience strengthened his interest in practical approaches that can help older adults remain active, mobile, and independent.
Whether writing for young people, parents, patients, families, or older adults, Dr. Woodward’s goal remains much the same as it was in medical practice: to make useful health information understandable and give readers the knowledge and confidence to take an active role in their well-being.
Dr. Woodward has been married for more than five decades and is grateful for his two sons, two daughters-in-law, and four grandchildren.
