17. Dr Jessica Shepherd

A rarity on the pod now - our second woman under fifty joins us today. She is turning 50 at the end of year, but what she has been accomplishing heading into her next decade while being on her own perimenopause journey is what is going to help all the next generations to come. A Board-certified concierge OB/GYN, one of the most prominent Black women in mainstream women's-health media and the most-booked menopause doctor in American media right now, she can explain estrogen on a four-minute morning-show segment without losing the science. She is the founder of Sanctum Med + Wellness, in 2024 was named the first-ever Chief Medical Officer of “Hers,” a telehealth platform. She is the author of Generation M: Living Well in Perimenopause and Menopause and you are not going to believe how much we are going to learn from her while she’s here. Take notes.
