Double Down with Dr. D

Menopause, Advocacy, and Cultural Care: Dr. Kudzai Dombo on Empowering Midlife Women


Listen Later

Dr. Kudzai Dombo opens up about her shift from conventional medicine after experiencing moral injury and burnout. A transformative retreat helped her reconnect with her purpose—empowering women through menopause and beyond.

We dive into her approach to menopause care through the lens of culture, science, and self-advocacy. From her work with Black women and the SWAN study’s insight on sleep health, to her international experiences in Cambodia and Sri Lanka, Dr. Dombo urges clinicians and patients alike to widen their lens on midlife care.

She shares practical tips for women in their 30s to prepare for healthy aging, the importance of whole-person care, and why authenticity is her secret weapon on social media.


Dr. Kudzai Dombo is an OBGYN and menopause advocate dedicated to changing how women—especially women of color—experience midlife care. As Director of Advocacy & Outreach at Alloy Women's Health, she champions culturally informed, holistic solutions for perimenopause and menopause.
