Dr. Lisa Taylor-Swanson is a licensed acupuncturist and women’s health researcher dedicated to advancing health through equitable, evidence-based care. She is a tenured Associate Professor in the University of Utah’s College of Nursing and has developed three menopause-focused interventions. The first, MENOGAP, is a NIH-funded group medical visit with conventional and integrative health education and group acupuncture therapy. She then partnered with community members to culturally adapt MENOGAP, creating two tailored programs: (1) Mujeres en Menopausia in collaboration with Latina Community Health Workers, and (2) Waning Moon, an NIH-funded program developed with American Indian and Alaska Native women. Dr. Taylor-Swanson also serves as Multiple Principal Investigator (MPI) for a decentralized, confirmatory trial of acupuncture for veterans with Gulf War Illness, funded by the Department of Defense.
