Dr. Shieva Ghofrany on educating women about their OBGYN health.
Today we’re getting under the hood with Dr. Shieva Ghofrany a mother, daughter, sister, friend, and staunch women’s advocate and board-certified OBGYN practicing for over 25 years now in Stamford, CT. She is the co-founder of TRIBE CALLED V a platform to HELP women learn about ALL of the OBGYN health issues they were never taught.
Dr Shieva Ghofrany strives to help people eliminate their fear by being “proactive not paranoid” about their health. An OBGYN since 1999 and co-creator of TRIBE CALLED V, her intention is to consistently help women wrangle their mindset.
Having travailed 6 miscarriages, 3 births, endometriosis, weight loss surgery AND ovarian cancer, Shieva harnesses her personal experience coupled with her professional observations to GENUINELY help achieve a calmer perspective. She engages with women on every level to guide them realistically in their quest for understanding of their bodies.
What started as an endeavor to connect with other women on Instagram (now with almost 60k followers) led to multiple consulting and speaking engagements live and virtually. As well, she is frequently quoted in online publications such as Self magazine, Huffington Post, MindBodyGreen discussing an array of women’s issues. Perhaps most prevalent is the request for her to address the mindset of fear surrounding health issues in general and cancer in particular, given her own experience with ovarian cancer and the surgeries and chemotherapy they required. She’s been featured on Verywell.com, WebMD, and in the PBS series now on Netflix “HUMAN: the World Within”. As well, she continues to be listed in Castles-Connolly Top Docs each year!
Dr. Ghofrany earned her bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University. Then, she completed a pre-medical program at Columbia University before finishing her medical degree at Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University in Israel. She went on to complete her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Stamford Hospital in Connecticut.
