Women, girls, and people assigned female at birth make up more than half of the world’s population. Yet, many of them say they don’t feel supported, heard, or cared for in the doctor’s office - even in spaces designed specifically for their care like obstetrics and gynecology.
Dr. Sharon Malone, veteran OB/GYN, is on a mission to change that.
On this week’s episode of Well, Now, we speak with Dr. Malone on how to advocate for the care you deserve at every stage of life. It’s the subject of her new book Grown Woman Talk: Your Guide to Getting and Staying Healthy.
