  • Excellent resource for women’s health

    I am learning so much from listening to these episodes with so many things that are shared that are never said to me in my own personal medical visits. I two come from the generation where our mothers and other female females in the family never shared any of these topics. Thank you for shining the light Dr Sharon!

  • Dr. Sharon

    I have been familiar with Dr. Sharon as part of the “menoposse” for a while. I’m so excited about her podcast. She breaks things down so easily, like you’re talking with your sister or friend, who happens to be a doctor.
