Dr. Sherry Ross, Award-winning OB/Gyn, Author & Health Expert.

Please welcome to my show Dr. Sherry Ross, an expert on menopause from her years in practice as a beloved obstetrician and gynecologist practicing in Santa Monica. Dr. Ross is also a two-time author, “she-ology: The Definitive Guide To Women’s Intimate Health. Period” and “she-ology, the she-quel,” both tackling just about any question one might have about women’s bodies. And there’s a lot.

For starters. Menopause. It used to be that word people whispered in the corner. No more. Because ladies, we all go through it, and gents, your significant others, mom, sister, daughters will go through it too. So let’s understand it better, shall we?

During our conversation, I’ll be speaking with Dr. Ross about hormones and hormone replacement therapy. Is it safe (yes), when to start, and how to know what dosage is right for you. Of course there’s estrogen and progesterone replacement, and testosterone, too. But for many women, hormones still remains a mystery, and we’ll dive deep to clear up any myths about what’s safe, recommended, and the benefits, too.

Dr. Ross will soon be launching a podcast the first of the year, “Pair-a-Docs” with renowned sex therapist Tammy Nelson. She’s also in the wellness space, recommending products that she thinks have been tested to help women at various stages in their womanhood. We’ll discuss. And men, this conversation is for you, too. Let’s all get on the same page about women’s health for better clarity and understanding.

Please find my full conversation with #DrSherryRoss on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it’s my pleasure to welcome you here.

James Tumminia, Actor. Producer

Please welcome to our show James Tumminia, award-winning actor, producer, and
lover of all things Italian, beloved for his role as Angelo in the TV series, “Melissa &
Joey” and much more. And we’ll be talking with James about his work and how he
gets his fix of Italian food and culture in this great city of LA.

As a kid growing up in an Italian-American neighborhood in Brooklyn, James
Tumminia knew two things: he loved all things Italian, and he wanted to be an actor.
And he’s living both.

I first met James at an event at the Italian Cultural Institute in Los Angeles, and
noticed he seemed to be at every Italian gathering throughout the city – and there’s
many. So I thought it appropriate to invite him to talk about all things Italian, in
addition to his life and career, as part of Italian-American Heritage Month.
James studied Italian at Georgetown, which led him to living, studying, and working in
Florence. He played Mario in “Two Scoops of Italy” a Hallmark film, and has been
involved on the producer side of many projects, including, “Love, Guilda,” “1st Strike,”
and many more.

James said he feels the guidance of his ancestral grandparents, all four born in Italy,
and he became an Italian citizen in 2009. He’s currently working on a project he’s
super excited about, “PER CHI,” a short doc he’s producing. We’ll be talking about that.
And while James hails from NY and moved to LA to pursue a career in entertainment,
he says Italy always feels like home, which is why he frequents so many Italian events
in this great city.
