Professor, Doctor of Medical Sciences, cardiologist and general practitioner Elena Malysheva has been explaining to Russians for many years simply and clearly where diseases come from and how to fight them. She rightfully won the unspoken title of the country's chief television doctor.

Elena jokingly says that it was about her that Masha Rasputin sang in her famous song “I was born in Siberia.” In this cold and harsh land, the biography of the excellent girl Lenochka Shabunina began.
Malysheva family: mother and father
Malysheva Elena Vasilievna was born on March 13, 1961 into a respected family of doctors in the capital of Kuzbass - the city of Kemerovo. Elena's father, Shabunin Vasily Iosifovich, born in 1930, was of Jewish origin. He worked as the chief physician in one of the city hospitals in Kemerovo.

Lena graduated from Kemerovo secondary school No. 19 with a gold medal. I was planning to enroll in the journalism department of Moscow State University, but my mother put a taboo on journalism and even forbade her daughter to leave the house. Since brother Lesha was going to study to become a surgeon at a medical institute, Elena went to enter the university with him for company.

Elena Malysheva evokes mixed reviews, not everyone loves her, but she is definitely not boring and meticulous, but extraordinary, calm, and humorous. No one is obliged to listen to the opinion of Elena Malysheva, but watching a program with her participation is a real pleasure.
Career: how Elena Malysheva got to Channel One
Now, from the height of her years, Elena realized that the medical profession was the best choice of all possible in her life. She came to work as a TV presenter and author of her programs with a large amount of professional knowledge as a doctor.
1978-1987: medical education
In the summer of 1978, Lena passed her first exam at the Kemerovo Medical Institute with “excellent marks” and was immediately enrolled as a medalist. In 1984 she received a honors diploma for graduating from the Faculty of Medicine.

She continued her postgraduate studies at the Academy of Medical Sciences in Moscow. She defended her dissertation in 1987 and received the academic degree of Candidate of Medical Sciences. At the moment, Malysheva is a professor at the Moscow Medical and Dental University.
1989-1992: beginning of a television career
After graduating from graduate school, Elena gave birth to two sons almost one after the other. The life of a young family in a Moscow hostel was so difficult that Malysheva got a part-time job as an on-duty doctor at the capital’s Hospital No. 51. During the day she was with the children, and at night she was on duty in the emergency department. Then the youngest son became seriously ill, and Elena was forced to go to her parents in Kemerovo.
Elena Malysheva at the beginning of her career
When the child began to recover, she began teaching at the Kemerovo Medical Institute and quite by accident ended up on local television. An old acquaintance brought Malysheva together with the editor-in-chief of the TV channel, she shared her ideas and received an invitation to host a medical program. In 1992, the “Recipe” program began airing on the Kuzbass TV channel.
1993-1997: road to the country's central television channels
In 1993, the youngest son of the Malyshevs finally recovered, Elena’s husband came to pick up the family and took them from Kemerovo to Moscow. Although she offered her husband to stay in Siberia, because there was already work and her own television program.
Igor then said to his wife: “If we don’t return to Moscow now, even to the hostel for now, you will never forgive yourself for this!”
Returning to the capital, Elena began working as an assistant at the Department of Internal Medicine at the 2nd Pirogov Medical Institute. She taught students, treated the sick, but the thought of TV haunted her. After all, she had already plunged into this world, so she went to the television center.

I found my fellow Kemerovo directors, to whom I offered my concept of a medical broadcast. And already in 1993, the first episode of Malysheva’s author’s program “Infirmary” was released on Channel 6 television. Since 1994, on the Delovaya Rossiya (RTR) channel, she has hosted the daily program “Did you call the doctor?”
1997-2017: work on Channel One
In 1997, the ORT TV channel decided to revive the “Health” program; Dr. Elena Malysheva was invited to the project as director, presenter and author. She still hosts this program on Sunday mornings. As part of the program in 2009, Elena launched the “Drop the Extra Thing” project, where participants lose weight in front of TV viewers.

In 2007, she became a member of the Academy of Russian Television, defended another dissertation, and received the degree of Doctor of Medical Sciences. Since 2010, she has been the host of the weekday morning show on Channel One, “Live Healthy!”

Since 2012, she has been promoting the Elena Malysheva Diet project on the TV channel. Elena Malysheva Medical Center clinics with a wide range of services have been opened in many Russian cities. Its network of weight loss clinics is also expanding across the country.
“Komarovsky is sad”: photos of the golden palace of TV doctor Malysheva leaked online
Columns, gilding, statues and velvet - 1100 square meters in the suburbs of New York. And all this belongs to the scandalous television doctor of Russia Elena Malysheva
The palace of Vladimir Putin’s medical propagandist was shown by his main opponent Alexei Navalny. The opposition leader shared the investigation on his website, reports
The house, which has 21 rooms, is located on the state line in neighboring New Jersey. Elena Malysheva is less than 20 kilometers from the center of Manhattan.

She bought the mansion in 2020 for $6.4 million. Moreover, this purchase became the most expensive real estate transaction in this New Jersey county that year.
To make sure that the mansion belonged to Malysheva, Navalny compared the signatures on the purchase agreement with the autograph on the book.
By the way, Malysheva’s son, Yuri, lives in an American house. The guy works in a hospital in New York and sometimes posts videos on Instagram shot in the same mansion.
It is worth noting that users reacted violently to Navalny’s investigation. People do not mince words when discussing Malysheva and her palace.
“Soloviev plays like a monkey on TV for 60 million (ours), and his hacienda is on Fr. Como is an attic compared to the “wonderful” palace of Medunitsa Malysheva. How much of our money is she raking in with programs about anuses/aprons?”

In addition, commentators mentioned Malysheva’s Ukrainian colleague, TV star, Dr. Evgeniy Komarovsky, who definitely does not have such a mansion - “Komarovsky is sad.”
Let us recall that Komarovsky spoke about the dangers of the Internet for children: “Check regularly...”.
As Politeka reported, Komarovsky could not stand the persecution and told the Ukrainians everything he thought about them: “Give birth at home, eat bullshit.”
Politeka also wrote that ticks began hunting Ukrainians: Dr. Komarovsky told how to escape from bites
Personal life and husband of Elena Malysheva
In Elena Malysheva’s personal life, everything is stable, clear and successful. She is happy in her only marriage with Igor Yuryevich Malyshev. Although I didn’t get married until I was 26. As Elena says about herself, “there was zero chance of marriage for a girl who was not too beautiful, but very smart.” And only her father was sure that Lena would definitely meet a good man.
Elena Malysheva's wedding
She met Igor in graduate school in Moscow. Ironically, Malyshev turned out to be Elena’s fellow countryman; he comes from the city of Novokuznetsk in the Kemerovo region. When they started dating, Lena read poems by her favorite poet Mayakovsky to her future husband, and he patiently listened to everything to the end. My parents really liked Igor.

After 30 years of family life, Elena herself never tires of repeating that her husband is a rare person and worthy of all praise. She is sure that she owes her success in life only to her husband. Igor Yurievich – Doctor of Medical Sciences, professor, molecular biologist, heads the laboratory of cellular biotechnologies. For his research work he received an award several times - the Prize of the President of the Russian Federation.
Male dignity and the singing uterus: pearls by Elena Malysheva
Elena Malysheva
Manhood
In the program “Live Healthy!” Elena Vasilievna with her colleagues, respected doctors Andrei Prodeus, German Gandelman, Dmitry Shubin, tries to clearly and in simple language talk about this or that disease. And everything would be fine, but sometimes the program turns into a real comedy show. Just look at the episode in which one of the spectators depicted... a male genital organ.
In it, doctors talked about the benefits of a procedure called circumcision or simply circumcision. Malysheva did not limit herself to a verbal explanation of a sensitive topic. She called a woman in a high-neck sweater into the studio to show what happens when the manhood is occupied by bacteria. One can only guess what the participant in the performance felt at that moment, but the studio guests and television viewers had a blast.
“Well, you don’t eat poop. Poop and eat”: advice from Elena Malysheva
“The idea of visual circumcision was suggested by one of the show’s editors. It turned out great,” Elena Vasilyevna shared later. “With such a vivid example, we conveyed to people the essence of the operation, because most people thought that the penis was cut off at the level of the head. We have enlightened them in the brightest possible way.”
A few years ago, an unusual duet could be seen on the program. Two guys in velvet suits, depicting male testicles, performed a perky composition about testosterone and the characteristics of the male body. The TV viewers laughed until they dropped. But the doctor herself doesn’t see anything funny or cheerful in the creative act.
Elena Malysheva: “Three years ago I was saved from cancer”
“We, doctors, are where the penis and vagina are as worthy organs as an arm or a leg. And you are where hypocritical morality exists. And women don’t go to doctors because it’s embarrassing, so they think that they don’t need to tell anyone about it. Hypocrisy is a hypocritical virtue,” she threw up her hands.
How to go to the toilet correctly?
Elena Vasilievna also taught the audience how to properly go to the toilet in a big way. Thus, a snow-white toilet was ceremoniously brought into the studio, as well as boards depicting the poses that should be taken during the act of defecation. This time, Malysheva’s co-host, German Shaevich, acted as the experimental “rabbit”. The doctor showed how to do things correctly without unnecessary harm to health.
German Shaevich knows how to sit on the toilet correctly
The singing uterus performed by artist Svetlana Galka deserves special attention. “In the coming year, I wish with all my heart that babies will be born who are the healthiest of all in the family,” she sang cheerfully. The stars immediately responded to this number. “Well, that’s it, I’m late to write this song... But the idea was in the air,” Igor Nikolaev said ironically.
“For all the absurdity of this “kindergarten” approach, I think that Malysheva is a great guy. She came up with a “viral” trick, and for many years her talking liver or singing appendages have been traveling on the Internet, lifting the spirits of people with a normal sense of humor,” Alena Vodonaeva supported the TV doctor.
The most ridiculous celebrity diets
But Elena Vasilievna’s ex-colleague, Gennady Malakhov, who also once worked on Channel One, is not favorable to her. They say that a black cat ran between the stars. “I heard that she showed the dance of the uterus, cut off the foreskin on live television! People called me and told me. I don't know why she's doing this. It’s one thing to show what’s useful and kind, and another to do everything in order to attract attention. She and I have always had different approaches. I do non-drug treatments, but she has a different approach. In general, I’m not particularly interested in Malysheva, I have my own life,” he said skeptically.
Well, what kind of ballet?
Everyone has long understood that you won’t get bored with Malysheva. So, in one of the episodes, her co-hosts, dressed in tutus, performed a swan dance. The long-suffering German Shaevich had to hang on ropes, pretending to be a black bird.
It’s worth giving credit to the TV presenter: she keeps her nose to the wind and focuses on the preferences of not only her peers, but also the new generation. Elena Vasilievna once admitted that she listens to Billie Eilish songs. She even tried to sing the tunes of the star's hit. Many Internet users did not appreciate the doctor’s musical abilities. “Malysheva, where are you going?!”; "What was it? My ears are bleeding!”; “Elena Vasilievna listens to Eilish? Yah?" - some were perplexed.
Doctor bullying
By the way, with “Life is great!” It's not just the comical moments that are involved. Recently, Malysheva was literally hounded for calling mentally retarded children “cretins” and “idiots.” The statement of the capital's chief child psychiatrist, Anna Portnova, on this matter added fuel to the fire.
“By labeling children with mental development problems as “cretin” and “idiot” (essentially insults), the editors of the program made a serious deontological blunder, offending children with mental disabilities and their parents. I hope that the editors of the TV show will be able to draw conclusions and prevent such discriminatory statements in the future,” the specialist reasoned.

Elena Vasilyevna did not remain silent, explaining to the haters that she used medical terms in her speech. “I'm sorry that you think of me that way. I am also a mother and grandmother. The program was dedicated to neonatal screening. In it we talked about diseases that are diagnosed in newborns in the maternity hospital. These are hypothyroidism, phenylketonuria and other diseases,” she justified herself.
The teledoctor does not hide that she was very worried about this. “At first it seemed to me that there was no need to answer, that I was above all this. When they suddenly started writing that I was calling children with autism nerds, I sat at home and cried. But there were no children with autism in this program! It was bitter and insulting that no one even watched the program, but simply reprinted someone’s lies. Then I didn't know what to do. And now I don’t want to remain silent,” the star confessed.
Health comes first!
Despite all the negativity, Malysheva’s show does a lot of good for her fans. For example, during the filming of a program, several viewers receive recommendations from highly qualified specialists. “Before each graduation, nine people undergo a real examination on the topic of the graduation. This can be either a routine blood test or ultrasound, or a rather expensive study. I got on a program dedicated to cervical cancer - I had to first come to an appointment at the Kulakov Scientific Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology and get tested. The procedure cost at least ten thousand rubles, but for the participants of the show it was free,” said the guest in the studio.
“Everyone just tells you about health, but we diagnose and treat,” Malysheva herself notes, not without pride.

Sons of Elena Malysheva: Yuri and Vasily
The Malyshevs have two sons; their age difference is slightly less than three years. The brothers are very similar to each other and have adopted the characteristic facial features of their father.
Yuri Igorevich Malyshev
In March 1988, the couple had their first child, son Yura. Elena was then preparing to defend her dissertation, and planned the whole day minute by minute. Pet, wash, feed your husband, massage your child, play and walk with him, and be sure to do scientific work for a couple of hours.

When my son was ten months old, I went to work at a city hospital as a therapist on duty. Yuri continued the dynasty of doctors, he is a doctor by training, and now works on the program “Live Healthy!” as creative director.
Vasily Igorevich Malyshev
In December 1990, the second son Vasily was born. After his birth, Elena had to return to her parents in Kemerovo. The baby suffered from an acute respiratory infection and as a result he developed intussusception. The boy was operated on and saved. It was just difficult for a young family to exist in Moscow in the early 1990s - empty store shelves and huge lines for groceries.

Elena’s husband sent her and their sons to their homeland; it was easier under the wing of mom and dad. When Vasily fully recovered, the Malyshevs began to live together in Moscow. The youngest son did not follow in his parents' footsteps; he chose the profession of lawyer.
How many grandchildren does Elena Malysheva have?
Yura, the eldest son of the TV presenter, in the summer of 2014 married a girl named Karina, a graduate of the Plekhanov Academy. Elena adores her daughter-in-law and affectionately calls her Karishka. She coincides with her mother-in-law in many ways - in her outlook on life, in her responsibility for the family, in her ability to work.
Grandson of Elena Malysheva - Igor
When Yura got married, his mother did not have a drop of jealousy, but only pride that her son had chosen an intelligent, serious and educated life partner. On January 25, 2020, Yuri and Karina had a son, Igor, and Elena Malysheva became a grandmother for the first time.

Height and weight of Elena Malysheva
Viewers have been seeing Elena Malysheva on screens for more than twenty years, but few people realize that all this time she has been stubbornly fighting excess weight. Since childhood, Lena was a plump girl; she never considered herself a beauty. But now she looks great for her age, so millions of TV viewers listen to her advice.

Elena has developed a whole system with the help of which the participants of her project “Drop the Extra Thing” lose weight and which the presenter herself follows. Malysheva advises never to go hungry, as you can provoke obesity of internal organs. You need to eat to your fill, but only healthy, low-calorie, natural food.
Elena Malysheva has a slim figure
There must be snacks between main meals, and the body must be nourished every 2-3 hours. Don't forget to count calories. For women losing weight, Malysheva calculated the energy value for a day - 1200 kcal. The doctor advises drinking a lot of water every day. The minimum daily intake is 8 glasses.
Diet basics from Elena Malysheva
Each piece of food must be chewed 12 times. Be sure to arrange fasting days once a week (buckwheat, fruit, rice or vegetable). Move more. No diet gives 100% results without additional physical activity.
Elena tells how to lose weight quickly
In terms of food composition: remove fast carbohydrates (carbonated drinks, sweets, baked goods, processed foods) and fatty foods from your daily diet. Eat more protein (lean fish, meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products and chicken eggs). Start the day with a glass of warm drinking water; it will help the body wake up and start metabolic processes.
Elena Malysheva, 2018
In 2020, Malysheva appeared in a new image, as she had lost weight. Now she can be seen not only in fluffy dresses and skirts, but also in elegant trouser suits. The presenter lost weight solely through fractional meals; there is no room for physical activity in her work schedule; occasionally she goes to the pool with her family.
Height, weight, age. How old is Elena Malysheva
The popular TV presenter looks quite young, and this prompts us to think about the question of her height, weight, age, how old is Elena Malysheva. She recently turned 56 years old, her height is 168 cm, and the famous TV presenter weighs 63 kg. According to Malysheva herself, she constantly has to struggle with excess weight, although it is not easy.

Having a passion for flour, you have to constantly limit yourself, and, having relaxed, take your will back into your fist. Of course, Elena Malysheva does not have bad habits, like most of her compatriots. The craving for smoking or alcohol is alien to her. For a while, Malysheva even went in for sports at home, but due to her dislike for physical activity, she stopped. The TV presenter understands perfectly well that exercise is important for health, but she can’t suppress her laziness.
Today Elena Malysheva looks good, the fact that she adheres to proper nutrition has its effect, and therefore she clearly looks younger than her peers.
How Elena Malysheva lives today
Elena Malysheva with the Channel One team
Elena has a personal account on Instagram. She publishes “One Minute Consultation” videos, where famous doctors answer questions from viewers.
One of the Elena Malysheva Medical Centers
Elena's television program has opponents, but there are still more supporters. Millions of viewers are grateful to her for teaching the basics of medicine. It is impossible not to admit the fact that Malysheva is a great workaholic. Her motto: “The harder life is, the harder it is to go crazy.”
The new program was fundamentally different from its prototype. There were practically no special medical terms in it, and all information was presented in simple and understandable language, accompanied by a visual demonstration.
Russia's chief TV doctor and her team are not afraid to raise slippery and risky topics in their programs. Problems with potency or gas formation may be discussed on the federal channel.
The show often features puppet performances, models and costumes are used, children participate, especially in episodes related to children's health, spectators bathe in tea, doctors depict internal organs - the least of all what happens in the studio resembles a serious medical broadcast.
According to experts, this story (and like others - of a provocative nature) made it possible to return the viewer to a period when there was a drop in the program’s audience figures.
The TV presenter is criticized from time to time for harsh statements and for individual recommendations voiced on air (in particular, from her famous colleagues).
This makes Malysheva’s broadcasts bright and memorable, causing public outcry. Although sometimes this resonance also has a humorous connotation, providing ample food for parodists.
“Friendly cartoons” of Malysheva were made more than once by Maxim Galkin and Ivan Urgant. In 2011, the presenter was even awarded the “Silver Galosh” anti-prize in the “Malysheva and Udalysheva” nomination.
Also, the leading ill-wishers on the Internet often accused her of inadequacy, and sometimes attributed various world conspiracies to her, for unclear reasons, often citing her resemblance to Leon Trotsky and her alleged Jewish nationality.
