Ep 2: Gloria Reuben
2: Gloria Reuben talks hot flashes, 'ER' at 30, Tina Turner, and embracing change
Gloria Reuben is an Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated star known for her groundbreaking role as Jeanie Boulet in the iconic medical drama 'ER.' She’s done it all, from touring with Tina Turner to authoring the book My Brothers’ Keeper, which honors the memory of her two departed brothers. She’s been seen on TV and streaming in the CBS hit 'Elsbeth' and was at SXSW earlier this year to premiere the new film, ‘My Dead Friend Zoe,’ in which she stars alongside actors like Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman.
Right now, she’s opening up about an issue important to her — her experiences living with moderate to severe hot flashes (also known as VMS) due to menopause. For Gloria, these hot flashes began to impact her daily life — with sweating and discomfort leading her to even feel nervousness in front of the camera. She’s now partnering with Astellas, the makers of Veozah, which is an FDA-approved 100% hormone-free treatment to reduce the frequency and severity of these moderate to severe hot flashes.
Gloria says she wants other women not to feel alone and to know that treatment is out there for hot flashes.
In this episode, Gloria discusses her journey with hot flashes, her storied career, a big ER anniversary coming up this year, and some advice she has for all of us, especially for when we navigate those unexpected bumps in the road.
“Just [go] for it, you know what? Because what is the other option?”
