What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

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!

2012/2013/2014 · Nov 2025

Listening to Sharon Malone is like listening to your big sister, your mother, your auntie, your friend — who also happens to be a deeply insightful and experienced medical professional in women’s health. I couldn’t think of anything better than this podcast. Thank you, Dr Malone!

T1D Strong · Nov 2025

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.

KRListening · Oct 2025

So glad an actually educational show about women’s health is coming out at such a crucial moment in American history.
