Dr. Sharon is setting the record straight, from the history of womenâs health research and the importance of self-advocacy to the impact of our genetics and hormone therapy. She dives head first into the history and lack of meaningful research from the medical community and the damage itâs left on women, especially black women in America. Her 30 years as an OB/GYN and her experience as a black woman give her insight into a population that has been grossly underserved. She unpacks the impact and offers solutions. The interview feels like a kitchen table conversation with your big sister, who happens to be a doctor.

At 55, Julie Gordon White decided to lose her menopause belly fat, become as healthy as possible, and get control of her sweet and salty cravings. Through trial and error, she started making energy bars to keep cravings from sabotaging her effort. Her creation yielded a satisfying snack and resulted in Julie losing 10 pounds, having less brain fog, less fatigue, and feeling ten times better overall! In August 2020, Julie and a mostly menopausal team of experts turned her plant-based recipe into a delicious, all-natural, gluten-free energy bar with powerful ingredients to support female nutrition during menopause. Her MenoWell bars energize women and empower them on their menopausal journey.
In this episode, Nada sits down with Julie to discuss their parallel paths in the entrepreneurial and midlife spaces. Julie shares how she always told her coaching clients not to pursue product-based ventures because the margins are small. Ignoring her own advice, she took on the challenge and created the first-ever functional food formulated for women in the stages of menopause.
Check out MenoWellâs website and stock up on four flavors of Julie's bars. Julie recommends adding 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy to your bookshelf. Follow on Instagram: @mymenowell
