Choosing Health Over Security in Menopause

Menopause Moguls™ Podcast with Dr. Joy'El: Strategies to Promote Perimenopause/Menopause Health, Wellness & Entrepreneurship

If you had to choose between your steady paycheck and your health, which would you choose?
This decision may be easy for some but for others who feel the pressure of maintaining a household and the need to "push through" in a high-powered career, the decision can be quite difficult.
Dr. Michel talks about why this wasn't an easy decision for her but when she decided to ultimately choose her health, it has allowed her to do awesome things in her career and live her BEST life! Tune in to hear her story!
Let me tell you more about her:
Dr. Suleika Just-Buddy Michel is a board-certified Obstetrician Gynecologist with
over 23 years of medical and leadership experience. Over this period , she has delivered more than 4,000 babies and managed countless gynecological concerns. As the first African-American partner in her former OBGYN practice, she is a well- respected advocate of minimally invasive surgery and is one of the select few trained DaVinci robotic surgeons.

When she realized that many Christian elementary and middle schools had no formal health education for students, she decided to create WiseTeenz, a faith-based health curriculum specifically for preteen and teen girls in 5th through 12th grades. She is a best selling author of the faith-based book, WiseTeenz, which enlightens, empowers and educates teen girls with information about their temples.

Dr. Michel is also committed to decreasing health disparities for communities of color which led her to co-found the Mocha OBGYN Alliance (MOGA). This non-profit organization provides national and global access to culturally competent OBGYNs, serving as a conduit for the reduction of maternal mortality and negative health experiences contributing to poor patient outcomes experienced by women of color. Also, as Co-President of the Maryland Patient Safety Center Maternal Health Equity Project, Dr. Michel uses her expertise to reduce Black maternal health disparities specifically in the state of Maryland.
Raised in Philadelphia, Dr. Michel received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, and returned to Philadelphia where she obtained her Medical Degree from Hahnemann University School of Medicine. Dr. Michel completed her residency training in Obstetrics & Gynecology at the Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia. She is a Fellow of the American College of OBGYN, and the American College of Surgeons.

Her strong Christian faith has taken her abroad to Haiti and Kenya to share her medical skills performing missionary work.

Dr. Michel has been married for 26 years. She and her husband are blessed to have a daughter and son.
