Meet Dr. Jessica Shepherd

Ora's Women's Health Expert

Women's health isn't short on answers. It's short on ones you can trust.

That's why we're welcoming Dr. Jessica Shepherd, MD, MBA, FACOG, as Ora's Women's Health Expert. She brings clinical rigor and plain-spoken education to the questions our customers are already asking.

Dr. Shepherd is a board-certified OB/GYN, and bestselling author of Generation M, a book reshaping how women talk about their health. She's a regular on Good Morning America and has appeared on The Today Show, CNN, LIVE with Kelly and Mark, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Forbes, Women's Health, and ESSENCE.

Her approach is no-nonsense and science-backed: help women understand their bodies and feel their best, without the hype.

"As a physician, trust matters. I don't recommend supplements simply because they're popular. I recommend products that meet the standards I expect for my own patients. Ora does exactly that: quality protein, thoughtful digestive support, and formulas designed with gut health in mind.

It's nutrition that works with your body, not against it, and a brand I'm proud to stand behind."

Why Dr. Shepherd is joining Ora

As women, we're told to do more: more protein, better gut health, the right supplements. Almost no one tells us how to actually choose, or how to read the label in front of them.

That's the gap Dr. Shepherd is here to close. She's spent her career giving women straight answers instead of vague reassurance. We take the same approach to what goes in the bottle.

As our Women's Health Expert, she'll bring a clinical lens to the need states that matter most, shape our customer education, and build resources women can actually use.

Have a question about hormones, perimenopause, gut health, protein, or sleep?

Ask the expert.

We're launching Ask Dr. Shepherd, a series where our community submits questions and hears straight from a doctor who takes the time to answer thoughtfully.

Submit yours anonymously below, and we'll share the answer with our community.

Small note: We can't answer every question individually, and this content is educational, not medical advice. For anything personal, talk to your healthcare provider.
