Well, Now: Michelle Obama Gets Health Advice from This Gyno. Now You Can, Too.

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. If you liked this episode,
