Behind the
White Coat
I’m Dr. Jessica Shepherd, a board-certified OB/GYN, wife, mother, on-air TV expert, CEO, business owner, and entrepreneur dedicated to pioneering women’s health and longevity during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
Often spoken on, rarely understood—I believe that longevity isn’t just about adding years to life—it’s about adding life to years, embracing vitality, and thriving in every moment.
I’m here to remind you that life doesn't stop here.
Welcome to your most vibrant chapter yet
