Meet Dr. Betsy Greenleaf

Dr. Betsy A.B. Greenleaf, DO,

FACOOG (Distinguished), FACOG, FPMRS, FAAOPM, MBA, MS

is a triple board certified physician powerhouse in integrative health, breaking boundaries and changing lives. A bestselling author, entrepreneur, and renowned expert in menopause and andropause, she’s been a trailblazer in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery for over 20 years. Fun fact: she made history as the first woman to earn board certification in Urogynecology!

Dr. Greenleaf wears many hats. She’s the founder of the International Pause Institute, helping people in perimenopause, menopause, and andropause reclaim their energy, sanity, and zest for life. As CEO of the Pelvic Floor Store, she provides essential resources for pelvic health, and through Femversity, she empowers women with education and confidence.

Her approach? Holistic and heartfelt. Dr. Greenleaf helps busy individuals find pelvic peace, inner strength, and renewed confidence—mind, body, and spirit.

She’s also an engaging speaker and educator, using humor and warmth to break the stigma around sensitive health topics. Oh, and she’s not stopping there! She’s now the producer of Menopause Memo, a rock album designed to inspire and celebrate the menopause journey.

Dr. Greenleaf is proof that intimate health can be talked about boldly, joyfully, and with a whole lot of impact!
