Dr. Jessica Shepherd is an OB/GYN and women’s health expert, founder of Her Viewpoint (an online women’s health forum with a focus on addressing what she calls “below the belt” topics in a stigma-free setting), and the host of the new wellness podcast Breathe & Bloom. You may recognize her from her many TV appearances: as a frequent contributor on The Today Show, Dr. Oz, Steve Harvey, CBS News, and FOX News, among others. As an OB/GYN, she practices in Dallas and was previously at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where she served as Director of Minimally Invasive Gynecology. She also gives lectures on fibroids, myomectomies, and women’s health issues around the world. Her writing has been featured in numerous publications, including Women’s Day, Women’s Health, Self, Family Circle, Parents, Essence, and WebMD, and she is a national speaker for Poise, Allergan, and other brands promoting the discussion of women’s health issues. As a member of the board of the Women’s Health Foundation as well as the Multicultural Leadership Committee of the American Heart Association, she uses her expertise to help women understand their health conditions and how to address them appropriately. As we dig into in this interview, she understands all too well that women’s health issues are not discussed openly enough, and that these conversations need to expand for us to remove the stigma of sexual and reproductive health concerns. There is a connection between the physical, emotional, and spiritual that she strives to address in her practice and beyond.
