To help us navigate, we sat down with Dr. Katherine Sherif, a women’s health expert and professor of medicine at Thomas Jefferson University. In our Q&A, Dr. Sherif offers insight on turning 40

FemmePharma listens to these stories, which we hear from our clients, friends, colleagues, and family members. These disappointing interactions with healthcare practitioners tend to lead women away

After years of swiping, ghosting, and awkward first dates that go nowhere, many women are stepping away from dating apps and toward something refreshingly different: dating matchmaking services.
