Jennifer Lang MD

Hi! I'm Jennifer Lang, a medical doctor specialized in OB/GYN and Gyn oncology. I'm also a mom of three kids ages 10, 8 and 7. I wrote my first book "The Whole 9 Months: A Week-by-Week Pregnancy Guide with Recipes for a Healthy Start," because I so strongly believe that food is the best medicine, and that if we practice healthy eating during pregnancy we can set our children up for a lifetime of health. I hope that pregnancy can be a time of increased mindfulness and deepening self-care for women and the families that surround and support them. We really do model everything for our little ones, and the path to healthy food choices begins in utero. We do the best we can to create the conditions for our children to have good physical health, but as my own children grow I realize more and more that giving them the right information to develop a healthy relationship to their bodies (and the bodies of others they interact with in the world) is just as important. I wrote my new book "Consent: Every Teen's Guide to Healthy Sexuality," because I feel that teens are lacking a straightforward guide to Sex Ed that puts the single most important component of every sexual interaction --CONSENT-- into central focus. Making sure there is mutual, active, affirmative and enthusiastic consent is the single most important thing we can teach teens about sex as they begin their journey into self-discovery and young adulthood. I hope you find what you are looking for in the books. Check them out, and let me know what you think!
