Welcome!

I’m Dr. Gina Nelson, Board Certified OBGYN since 1994. This is my media page. Here I will feature books and courses which have grown out of my long experience in private practice.

I have had the privilege of taking care of thousands of women over the last several decades. I have delivered over five thousand babies and performed hundreds of gynecologic surgeries of various kinds through the decades.

I’ve learned many things about myself, about women, and about the human body.

This profession is sometimes sad, but mostly happy and exhilarating. It is always fascinating.

I hope to share some of these experiences and lessons with you here.

Check out my publications below, and find out what’s coming soon.

Please have a look below at my newly released Udemy.com course on Mindset.

Women’s Health Foundations: Mindset

Build the mindset that makes healthier choices easier to sustain

Most of us know what we’re supposed to do for our health. Knowing, however, isn’t the same as doing it consistently.

Women’s Health Foundations: Mindset explores how your beliefs and thought patterns influence the everyday actions that shape your health. In this practical, physician-guided course, you’ll learn to:

  • Recognize your health mindset and limiting beliefs

  • Identify real-life barriers to healthier choices

  • Reframe beliefs that no longer serve you

  • Turn supportive beliefs into small, achievable actions

  • Use SMART goals without falling into all-or-nothing thinking

  • Track progress with curiosity rather than perfection

A downloadable Mindset Workbook will help you apply these ideas to your own life.

This course isn’t about rigid programs or changing everything at once. It’s about understanding yourself, choosing where to begin, and creating meaningful change through small, repeated actions.

Mindset is the first course in the Women’s Health Foundations series, laying the groundwork for future courses on nutrition, fitness, sleep, and other important areas of women’s health.

What would you like to learn from an OBGYN ?

Sometimes, my office feels like a medical facility. Other times, it feels more like a classroom. While patients are thankful for medical care, they really appreciate the teaching that goes with it. Now, with their encouragement, I am going to provide some of those presentations online here for everyone.

I plan more books in ebook, audiobook and print formats. I also plan a selection of online courses. Topics will range from medicine, surgery, nutrition, and fitness, to self care and personal productivity. Sign up to keep up to date!
