Sharon Malone

honestly one of the saddest things.

You know, Dr. Sharon Malone, who Nikki and I have had on the podcast many times, and she's like my very godmother at this point.

You know, Sharon says in her, I can't remember if she said it in her book or just one too many times talking to me, but it's my favorite.

And that is, if you have a doctor that you go to and you trust, and if you don't have a doctor that you go to and you trust, that's step number one, find one you do.

You have to deal with your doctor's beliefs.

As Dr. Sharon Malone says...

when she hears a doctor say, I don't believe in testosterone or I don't believe in hormone replacement therapy.

She's like, it's not Santa Claus.

And menopunks came from realizing the menopause specialists and the punks were equally as fucked in this strange, sad adventure of menopause that we're in.

And that all of us, Gen X specifically, and I'm sure your mother as well, Heidi, our parents were really in the crosshairs of the Women's Health Initiative misinformation, which By the way, shout out to your incredible interview with Dr. Sharon Malone.

She's fucking incredible.

I listened to all of it.

want to rip my fucking eyes out every single

day and that is why I started doing this

yeah because it's like once you are on the other side even just a foot on the other side and you realize you don't have to live like that it is such a fucking revelation and then all you want is the rest of your friends to not fucking suffer it's pretty straightforward yet the doctors have no fucking clue I mean Sharon Malone is one of the few that actually was trained the right way before the shit hit the fan in 2002 that's why I think she's so incredible having that perspective on both sides of the coin right but yet here we are like generationally fucked up

Yeah.

And I follow a lot of providers that are doing a lot of advocacy and education in this space.

Sharon Malone is an OBGYN who really speaks to this point.

And she says, you don't go through or get through menopause.

You're in it.

And so creating the medical authority and sort of getting permission and really, we really just leaned into our doctors.

And at first, we leaned into Sharon Malone, our chief medical officer, and her just making videos about her.

Getting women this information from trusted sources became the whole brand for a long time.

This has been misunderstood.

She's special.

I don't know if you know Dr. Sharon Malone.

Yes, I do.

She's special.
