Urologist Dr. Larrian Gillespie and her Chief, Dr. Joseph J. Kaufman: Women Doctors Are Entering All Specialties

Over the next fifteen years, as a private practitioner, she brought about public awareness of an overlooked medical condition, interstitial cystitis, which resulted in three pharmaceutical patents from her pioneering research.

  Her book, You Don’t Have to Live With Cystitis has been a "Top Ten Best Seller" on women’s health according to the New York Review of Books Reader’s Catalog, 1999.

A frequent lecturer at international medical meetings, Larrian taught her colleagues how to diagnose and treat this "incurable" condition, through her more than 30 scientific articles and chapters in medical textbooks.

Her interest in cooking and nutrition, nourished by courses at London’s Cordon Bleu and La Varenne in Paris, has resulted in her current books, The Goddess Diet, The Menopause Diet, The Menopause Diet Mini Meal Cookbook and The Menopause Diet Daily Journal, which are destined to join her other book in becoming "Best Sellers."
