My guest today is Michelle Gelband, a sexual health expert with two master's degrees who is dedicated to transforming women's health through innovation, collaboration, and evidence-based care.
In this episode, we talk about Michelle's journey into sexual health, what inspired her to dedicate her career to this often-overlooked field, and how her own endometriosis diagnosis exposed the frustrating gaps in women's healthcare. Like so many women, Michelle experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to find knowledgeable providers, trustworthy information, and meaningful support.
That experience became the catalyst for creating Openly Health—a platform designed to make sexual healthcare more accessible, accurate, and connected.
Openly Health brings together vetted sexual health providers who specialize in conditions and life stages including endometriosis, PCOS, pelvic pain, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, sexual dysfunction, intimacy concerns, hormones, and overall sexual wellness. Rather than relying on endless internet searches, users can connect with trusted experts, access evidence-based education, discover products tailored to their needs, and participate in an anonymous community where questions can be asked without fear or judgment.
We also discuss why collaboration among healthcare providers is so important, the future of virtual sexual healthcare, and Michelle's vision for making it easier for people to find the right care at every stage of life.
Whether you're navigating an endometriosis diagnosis, struggling with menopause, or simply looking for reliable sexual health information, this conversation is filled with practical insights and hope for the future of women's healthcare.
