Dr. Sharon Malone on How Michelle Obama Helped Her Put Menopause on the Map

Renowned OB-GYN and menopause advocate Dr. Sharon Malone credits her dear friend, former First Lady Michelle Obama, for helping her put menopause on the map. “She and I did a podcast about three and a half years ago,” she says. “She’s one of the first people who admitted to having menopausal symptoms.”

Dr. Malone’s work, together with the help of other key menopause advocates, has brought us to where we are today: More providers than ever are finally talking about menopause and sharing information, women are pushing for relief of their symptoms, and a growing force of people are fighting for change. Advocates are calling for more medical research so that menopause — and the many ways it impacts women’s health — is better understood.

In the latest episode of Asking for a Friend on Flow Space, we sat down with Dr. Malone, who is Chief Medical Advisor of menopause telehealth company Alloy Women’s Health and author of the upcoming book Grown Woman Talk: Your Guide to Getting and Staying Healthy, to discuss menopause care. From how to heat things up in the bedroom (when the only things heating up are your hot flashes) to navigating medical gaslighting, and why there doesn’t quite seem to be enough information out there on perimenopause and menopause, we asked her all the tough questions.
