Gerard DiLeo likes to think of himself as having been born of pansavants and suckled by celebrity wetnurses, but the reality is that he grew up in the suburbs of New Orleans and was educated by Jesuits.

Physician, inventor, women's health author, and newspaper and magazine columnist, he is currently in Phase Two of his life. 

Ova Academy is a women's health site written with original content by retired physicians who now want to serve as teachers in Phase Two of their lives. They come from diverse backgrounds, including private practice, academics, and research.

Women's health, "Gynecology," is a complex subject fraught with misconceptions and misinterpretations. As gender takes a prominent role in our collective psyche in today's world, a little clarity is direly needed. Ova Academy hopes to provide that clarity in a straightforward and enjoyable way.

Contained within women's health is pregnancy medicine, "Obstetrics," which is inseparable from the whole. The future of humanity has always depended on gender, and reproduction and the woman behind it are emblematic of life.
