What if your best friend were a doctor?
BOOK RELEASE JANUARY 26, 2027
Labor & Deliverance
Women feel seen best in each other's stories. This book holds your stories and your battles, AND it holds mine too. Because it is not so rare for a doctor to have also been a patient, and to know firsthand what it feels like to be dismissed.
This is for those who have felt dismissed, labeled, or quietly ashamed of what they're carrying. It's a call back to self-trust, and a reframe of what healing can look like when we stop separating the physical from the emotional and the spiritual.

Meet Dr. Tracy
I'm Dr. Tracy Shevell, MD, FACOG, a board-certified high-risk OB-GYN with 25 years of experience in academic medicine, based in the New York City metropolitan area.
I trained at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, completed my residency at Mount Sinai and my Maternal-Fetal Medicine fellowship at Columbia University, and spent 17 years as an Attending and Director of Perinatal Ultrasound at Stamford Health.
After two decades of watching women's symptoms get minimized and their intuition dismissed, I developed a complex mystery illness of my own and experienced that same dismissal firsthand. It reshaped how I listen, how I teach, and what I believe women deserve from the people caring for them.
My work now centers the full arc of a woman's life, from early adulthood through the mothering years, perimenopause, and menopause. I blend clinical expertise with emotional intelligence and whole-person healing, translating complicated medical topics into clear, usable information that helps women advocate for themselves with confidence.
Find me on instagram @tracyshevellmd, where my community knows me as their doctor best friend, the one who tells the truth, explains the nuance, and gives them language for the parts that are hardest to say out loud. That same spirit shapes everything I do: my private medical advisory practice, speaking, writing, and consulting, all in service of changing what care can feel like for women.
You’re not too much.
You’re not broken.
And it’s not just anxiety.
If you've ever been told everything looks "normal" while you feel anything but, your experience matters. Healing is layered. It includes what your body is carrying, and what your life has been carrying, too.
My work is here to translate the medical noise into clarity, give you language that changes conversations, and help you participate fully in your health decisions with steadiness and self-trust.
THE SEASONS THAT SHAPE A WOMAN.
Independence + Early Adulthood → your body, your cycle, your instincts. Nothing is off-limits.
Mothering Years → pregnancy, postpartum, caregiving, and the invisible load.
Perimenopause + Menopause → changes that are real, layered, and too often dismissed.
This is where we begin.
