Dr. Jerilynn C. Prior

Professor of Endocrinology at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada and Scientific Director of the Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research is a clinician-scientist whose work is internationally recognized.

Her research and synthesis has shown the importance of progesterone as well as estrogen for women’s bone, heart and breast health and also that perimenopause is hormonally distinct from menopause, entailing higher rather than low or dropping estrogen levels.

She graduated with honours from Boston University School of Medicine 1969, is the author of Estrogen’s Storm Season–stories of perimenopause   (Finalist in Health section, Independent Publisher’s Book Awards, 2006) and has recently co-authored The Estrogen Errors–Why Progesterone is better for Women’s Health (2009, Praeger, Conn).

Dr. Jerilynn Prior is an outstanding endocrinologist, professor,  integral researcher and outstanding advocate for women. I have had the privilege of working with and for Dr. Prior in her efforts to ensure that correct and integral information regarding women and their feminine cycles are available.
