Naked Beauty

Perimenopause, PCOS, and More Grown Woman Talk ft. Dr. Sharon Malone


Listen Later

Dr. Sharon Malone believes that every single person is their own primary caregiver and that we all need to take agency of our healthcare journey. In today’s episode, we unpack the key actions women need to be taking to safeguard their health. In our conversation, Dr. Malone discusses the historical context of healthcare and segregation, her inspirational journey to becoming a doctor, and her dedication to empowering women through accessible medical knowledge. Dr. Malone and I also discussed her book 'Grown Woman Talk,' which serves as a comprehensive guide for women navigating various health issues from their thirties to old age. Covering topics such as perimenopause, fertility, endometriosis, PCOS, and fibroids, she emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare. This episode is a blend of personal storytelling, professional expertise, and practical advice on maintaining and improving women's health across different life stages.
