Elena Malysheva has been teaching the whole country from television for 20 years how to maintain her health - a well-known TV presenter, a Jewess by nationality, in whose biography both moments of triumph and sad episodes were noted, as if she invented the elixir of youth. It hasn't changed much in the last 10 years.
Someone criticizes the TV presenter, condemns or makes fun, and someone is interested in her advice. In any case, Elena Malysheva is recognizable and famous. It is about her that they think when they talk about "the most famous doctor in the country."
Biography
Elena was born on March 13, 1961 in a family of Kemerovo doctors, people who are quite famous in the city. The girl's father, Vasily Shabunin, a Jew by nationality, served as chief physician of one of the city hospitals, and her mother, Galina Morozova, led the infectious diseases department.
There were three children in the family, and they were brought up in strictness. Elena Vasilievna is now grateful to her parents, but then she did not understand why she was forbidden to wear outfits and fashionable hairstyles. And about meetings with boys even speech could not be.
Elena Malysheva loves to recall the facts of her childhood biography - her parents did not allow anything to be done with her hair, in the photo in her youth she always has a pigtail or hair styled in a ponytail. Once she was caught in curlers, Lena was already going to bed, but her mother rolled up such a scandal to the future star that any attempts to protest ended there.
After graduating from the seventh grade, Elena's parents forced her to work part-time in the hospital in the summer as a barmaid. There was plenty of money in the family, they just wanted to show the children that they don’t get it just like that. The future star or her brother and sister could not be called spoiled.
Elena Malysheva with familyThe persistence of the parents in the strict upbringing of the girl paid off - Elena graduated from school with a gold medal.
Initially, she set out to enter the faculty of journalism, but the girl's mother did not approve of the choice. Galina Alexandrovna insisted on the profession of a doctor, and Elena Vasilievna is very grateful to her for this, considering this work the best in the world.
A television
Despite the fact that Elena chose the career of a doctor, her fate nevertheless connected her with journalism.
First, she graduated from the Kemerovo Medical Institute, with honors, then graduate school, defended her Ph.D. and even managed to try herself as a general practitioner, but such a prospect did not attract young talent. She went to university, became a teacher in the capital.
In young age. In the photo on the right The well-known TV presenter Elena Malysheva still does not leave teaching, and considers obtaining a professor's degree the most important fact of her professional biography.
By the way, she appeared on television by accident. The country might not have known about her talent and advice. When Elena's youngest son was ten months old, he became seriously ill and required an operation. They spent it in the capital, and went to Kemerovo for rehabilitation. There she spent time caring for the child and watched a lot of TV. Once she called the administration with a complaint that they did not have positive health programs at all.
A school friend suggested she change that. Elena Vasilievna's career on TV developed rapidly.
On the program "Live healthy" - 1992 Elena Malysheva went to the local television center and did not even imagine that this date would change her life and fulfill a dream that she had been hatching almost from birth - the “TV presenter” column appeared in the biography of a medical worker. She began to host the Recipe program, then a week later Elena was already working live.
- 1993 The work of the host in the program "Lazaret".
- 1994 Malysheva worked on the capital's RTR channel.
- 1997 Since childhood, she dreamed of being the first in everything, and she got the appropriate channel. Elena Vasilievna begins working as the host of the revived Health program.
- 2010 Appears as the host of "Live great!", Which, in fact, has become her own brand.
Diet of Elena Malysheva
Since 2012, the TV presenter has been actively promoting her commercial brand - a specially designed diet, which, according to many, really helps to lose weight.
With sons The specificity is that people are offered ready-made food, sorted for every day for four weeks. The diet consists of breakfasts, lunches, desserts and dinners. All meals are delivered frozen. According to Elena herself, there is no need to think about calories or go to stores in search of the right product. Just eat and lose weight.
On the official website of Elena Malysheva, you can calculate how many kilograms you need to lose weight by entering your height and weight in special fields - age does not matter. In addition, it is calculated immediately how long it takes to eat ready-made foods according to the TV presenter's diet in order to achieve the desired result.
Personal life
Lena never enjoyed much success with boys. The chubby girl with glasses was more likely to become the subject of ridicule than the object of adoration. Therefore, she was only concerned about her studies, first at school, and then at the institute.
Wedding of Elena and Igor Malyshev Even now, the famous TV presenter claims:
"A woman with glasses, by definition, cannot be beautiful."
She met her future husband in graduate school. Igor liked the fact that Elena is smart, intelligent, educated. One day he asked her out on a date. Lena did not have much experience, so the girl began to recite Mayakovsky's poems. Igor was not afraid, he endured to the end. And on the second date he took and kissed Elena.
He confessed his love in a rather original way. Escorting the girl to the train, Igor waited until the doors were about to close and said: “I want you to become the mother of my two children.” Elena puzzled: “Where does he have children? Where is the wife then? And at the next meeting, she said that she agreed, but demanded to explain everything. It turns out that Igor Malyshev meant future children.
With a family At the wedding, Lena's parents praised their son-in-law, and in such a way that Elena was even a little offended and reminded of the gold medal and the red diploma.
Elena's husband is an outstanding scientist, Doctor of Biological Sciences, whose name is known throughout the world. In all the photos, the smiling couple exudes happiness. In their personal lives there are no scandals, public showdowns. Perhaps Elena Vasilievna should again thank her parents for this. She notes that she was raised to be a polite and obedient wife. If the TV presenter argues with Igor, then only about raising children. Otherwise, they consult and listen to each other. Elena declares that without Igor she would not have achieved anything, and her husband objects that all her achievements are the result of hard work and talent.
The TV presenter herself is surprised at her happiness. Lena shows a photo of a plump ugly girl with glasses and reminds that now this is the famous TV presenter Elena Malysheva, who has a happy personal life - a loving husband, a world-famous microbiologist and two children, an outstanding professional biography.
Elena Malysheva Elena's parents will always remain an example for the famous TV presenter. They lived in perfect harmony for exactly 50 years, until Vasily Iosifovich died in 2009 from Alzheimer's disease.
Elena has a brother and a sister. All also chose a medical career. Sister Marina became a neuropathologist, and Alexei is currently the chief surgeon of the capital.
When the future TV presenter studied at the institute, her sister was diagnosed with cancer. A terrible tragedy for the family. Galina Alexandrovna confessed to her daughter that she felt as if covered with a concrete slab. Fortunately, everything worked out - Marina recovered from her illness after three operations.
With son Elena transferred her Spartan childhood to her sons, raising them in strictness. Yuri and Vasily managed to try themselves as orderlies and janitors. But now they are successfully building careers. Yuri went into medicine, and Vasily chose jurisprudence.
Once, on her program, Elena Malysheva, apparently, remembered the fact of her biography that she was Jewish by father, and showed how to properly circumcise and why.
On a turtleneck, really. The program caused a public outcry, but the TV presenter is not embarrassed by this. There were many complaints about her transfer. 
On the Golden Gramophone
Elena Malysheva now
The TV star gets up every morning at six in the morning, and already at ten, he plunges into work with his head. Elena tries to keep abreast of everything that happens in the world regarding health and medicine. She continues to teach and lead "Live great!".
The works of Malysheva were marked by a number of state awards, including the Order of Friendship and a medal for services to healthcare.
- Elena Vasilievna, I wonder when you first felt your female attractiveness?
“I never really felt it. And even now I am convinced that a woman with glasses cannot be a beauty. Although dad constantly tried to convince me. For some reason, he was sure that I was a rare beauty, and constantly told me about it. But what beauty could be seen in that plump bespectacled schoolgirl that I was, I do not know. I must say that I did not get married for a long time. Up to 26 years old. Now, of course, this does not surprise anyone. But then it was believed that if you are not married until the age of 22, then you are an old maid. This is how she lived. Cheerful, happy, not very beautiful, but terribly smart. And with zero chances of marriage.
And only dad was convinced that I would definitely meet a good person. And just in case, he advised: “To please a young man, you, daughter, pretend to be a fool.” - "How?!" I wondered. But still she tried. Alas, unsuccessfully. Now I understand that this is generally nonsense. If a man is looking for a fool, then he wants his children to be raised by a fool. Therefore, when my sons grew up, I created for them a formula for family happiness and choosing a life partner. Here it is: you must love the girl, and she must love you. And it is very important that this woman could make your children better than you! And when a man chooses a woman according to the principle “as long as she doesn’t be clever, doesn’t stick out, be quieter than water, lower than grass,” he must be aware that children will be the price for such a choice. They will also be so-so: not very smart, poorly educated, and maybe not capable of anything at all. A woman is the air of the family. She defines the spirit of the house, she has a great mission - to make the life of children bright and interesting. So, to educate them so that they can later make their parents' old age worthy and comfortable.
- How did you find a person who was not afraid of your "cleverness"?
- We studied together in graduate school in Moscow. By the way, he claims that he decided to marry me immediately when he first saw me. And I still don't believe in it. (With a smile.) Although, perhaps, she shocked his imagination with her participation in our graduate student KVN, where she sang with unthinkable passion. When Igor Malyshev and I started talking, I, like all the boys I met, read Mayakovsky’s poems, whom I loved very much, and he, the only one, found the courage to listen to them to the end.
Did you recite lyrical or patriotic poems?
- Not exactly lyrics. I read, for example, “Out loud!”: “Having appeared in Tse Ka Ka of the coming bright years, over a gang of poetic grabbers and burned out, I will raise, like a Bolshevik party card, all one hundred volumes of my party books ...” And since I knew the biography of the poet well , then threw back her head and put a lot of tragedy into these lines. Nightmare! And for some reason, Igor was not afraid of all this. Moreover, after "Poems about the Soviet Passport", which I also read to break the soul, he just took and kissed me. And it turned out that everything is nonsense - the main thing is that you are loved for who you are. That's what happiness is.
- And how did he declare his love to you?
- Kneeling with the exclamation "Be my wife!" did not happen. Just one day he said: "I want you to become the mother of my two sons." At that moment, I entered the train car in the subway, and he, having seen me off, remained on the platform. I looked around in bewilderment - the doors closed, and I was left to digest what I heard. Having comprehended, I understood the essence: he has children and no wife. And for a long time I thought about why this happened: either she died, or she left. But in any case, he turned out to be noble.
So by morning I decided to marry him, raise his children and have more. At the meeting, she immediately informed him about this, asking only to tell everything honestly about her wife and about the age of the children. At first he was speechless, and when he found it, he said: “So I don’t have them! I was talking about our future sons." (Laughs.)

In general, Igor Yuryevich turned out to be a rare person, worthy of all praise in everything. My relatives immediately appreciated it. At the wedding, my mother sang such praises to him! Like, what an extraordinary, talented, promising person appeared in our family - that's who you can and should be proud of! Such admiration even offended me a little, and I quietly whispered: “Just in case, I remind you: I graduated from school with a gold medal, and institute with a red diploma - and, accordingly, I’m also worth something.” But seriously speaking, my husband is, without exaggeration, an outstanding person. A brilliant scientist with a worldwide reputation. Pathophysiologist, molecular biologist, doctor of medical sciences, professor, head of the laboratory of cellular biotechnologies. I recently wrote an incredibly interesting book in English, Stress Proteins. Cancer, immunity and aging. The most educated... And for me, meeting with Igor is just a huge success and real luck. I know for sure: I owe my destiny, my success in life to my husband. But he doesn’t believe me, he says: “Nonsense, you achieved everything yourself” - and sincerely believes that I would have succeeded without him. Although this is not true. If I had married someone else, my life would have turned out differently.
When Yurashka was born, I was preparing to defend my dissertation. She distributed her day very clearly: to stroke, wash, cook, feed, take her husband to work, take a walk and play with the child, give him massages and carve out a couple of hours to write a scientific work. Ten months later, she returned to work. At first she was a therapist in a city hospital, then she moved to the 2nd Medical Institute to the Department of Therapy. And after the birth of Vasilko (they have a difference of about three years with Yurasha), she was forced to return to Kemerovo. Our Vasyanya fell seriously ill: after an acute respiratory disease, he had what is simply called volvulus of the intestines, and in a scientific way - intussusception of the intestines. Scary tale. He was operated on and rescued. It was necessary to take care, but in 1991 it was extremely difficult: the shops were empty, there were queues for bread and milk ... And Igor decided to send me and my children to my parents: it was easier to survive there, under their wing. After Vasya recovered, I got a job at the Kemerovo Medical Institute at the Department of Internal Medicine. And a little later, quite by accident, I ended up on Kemerovo television: my old friend, the press secretary of the head of administration and the host of one of the TV programs, unexpectedly offered to make a medical program. I tried - it worked. There were decent wages. Feeling like a celestial at the same time (of course, I'm a TV presenter!) And a millionaire (I bought my son a sheepskin coat!), I invited my husband to stay in wonderful Kemerovo. She even found a job for him - in the laboratory of the medical institute. But Igor did not appreciate my enthusiasm and with the words: “Helen, you won’t forgive yourself for this,” he turned me back towards Moscow. And again he was right.
In the capital, I again began to work at the 2nd Medical Institute and, of course, immediately went to television. Then the RTR channel was considered the most progressive, and there I was entrusted with the program right off the bat. Those were amazing times, everything worked out somehow easily. Then the channel "Business Russia" was created, which was led by Alexander Akopov. And it was from him that I received my first mastery lessons. And in 1997, Channel One, then ORT, revived the Health program, and I became its host.
Imagine, the anniversary, 800th edition of this wonderful program about big, serious medicine, about science stars making incredible discoveries, doing extraordinary operations, creating unique medicines, and - do not believe it - is already the 1000th (!) edition of the program " Live great! ”, Although it has existed for only four years.

So that's what I remembered about all this. To the fact that my husband never limited me in anything. Although if this happened, at any stage, I would treat his opinion with understanding, obey and obey.
- So you are internally ready for submission?
- From childhood, I was inspired that the duty of a woman is to serve her husband, family. Therefore, no matter who I was married to, in any case, I would cherish and honor him. It's just that fate turned out to be favorable to me, giving Igor as a husband. And I grew up in a patriarchal, almost home-building family, where dad could say: “No!”, And his word was law.

My parents are amazing people, they lived inseparably for almost 50 years, until my dad died. Both doctors. My paternal grandmother was born into a very wealthy family, but during the revolutionary upheaval, she jumped out to marry a groom who worked for them and ran away with him. They settled in Voronezh, near Monastyrka, with old wooden houses, gave birth to four children, all were given a higher education. And my mother also lived in Voronezh, only not in the rural part of the city, but in a large brick house. She comes from a respectable family: her father was the deputy general director for human resources at the largest aviation plant, Ilyushinsky, and had his own car - one of three, maybe for the whole of Voronezh. Their family also had four children. My dad, for the sake of earning money, went around the porches to sell sour milk - sauerkraut.
And from time to time he went into the entrance of his mother's house, and she looked at him from the height of the second floor from the window of her huge apartment. They met in a common company, when both were already students: mom - medical school, dad - veterinary (later he also graduated from the medical institute). Soon we got married, and as a result, my older sister was born (now Marina is a neuropathologist). We moved to Kemerovo, where they were given an apartment. Five years later, my brother and I were born. With a 30 minute age difference. The eldest is Lesha, who is now the chief physician of the Botkin hospital and the chief surgeon of Moscow.
Which parent do you most resemble?
- Outwardly, I am very similar to my mother, over the years I literally became her copy. But in character - in the pope: quick-tempered, absolute choleric. He first worked as the head physician of a tuberculosis clinic, led all medicine in the Kirovsky district of the city of Kemerovo. He was a temperamental person, the soul of the company, he sang beautifully. Mom, on the contrary, is very restrained, absolutely aristocratic behavior. A brilliant doctor and teacher, as they say: with a capital letter. For example, I am not a teacher at all.
- You are engaged in enlightenment in the field of medicine - is this not pedagogy ?!
- Yes, I agree, I really am an educator, but, I repeat, not a teacher. Teachers are those who leave students behind. Patient, painstaking, scrupulous, step by step introducing their wards to the profession, understanding and feeling them. I, unlike my mother, do not possess these qualities. Mom not only taught at the medical institute, she remained a teacher even outside the university. Being an excellent pediatrician, she was in charge of the children's intensive care unit at the Kemerovo hospital, and everyone who came to her work still honors and loves her.
- Elena Vasilievna, from the TV screen you give the impression of a completely flawless lady, a kind of model of correctness. And the upbringing, as you say, was strict. Have you ever had a mischief?
- What do you have in mind? Did I throw bottles through windows or cheat on my husband? What act should shock you in my performance?
- In yours - any. Let's say some school tricks, absences from home without permission, bad companies ...
- What are you speaking about? I tell you, I grew up in an intelligent, educated family. Accordingly, none of us has ever behaved in such a way as to end up in the children's room of the police. And honestly, there was no such primitive disorganization as absenteeism. At school, I studied brilliantly, I loved to study, all subjects were given easily. That is, she was clearly not one of those excellent students who hatch their fives. On the contrary, I quickly and cheerfully did my homework and also studied joyfully at the music school. By the way, I can’t say that my classmates were somehow very different from me. There were no losers and applicants for getting into a juvenile colony among us, but the craving for knowledge was incredibly powerful. Exactly the same atmosphere I got in the medical school. We had a very strong group - out of 11 people, seven received red diplomas.
“Adolescence means an attempt to gain some kind of freedom, to feel like an adult. What educational techniques did your parents use to direct energy in the right direction?
- Some rigidity in the requirements and certain restrictions. It was suggested to the brother that he must become a real man, he must be a support, a protector, an organizer. We, girls, were instilled with the realization that the most important thing in life is women's pride and maiden honor. There were enough restrictions. Let's say, when dad saw my sister with painted lips and eyelashes, he really went through a shock. And when I, an eighth-grader, rolled up curlers for the night, my deep sleep was disturbed by the sharp tearing off of the blanket - my mother called on my father to witness my fall into sin. We grew up as Turgenev girls - we loved, but we did not even dare to think about recognition. The era was different. Just staying overnight is nonsense. Once I was going to visit a boy who had parents at home, so dad stopped me at the door and asked: “Who are you going to go to a strange family as?!” It turned out that you can only go to a strange family as a bride, otherwise you should stay at home. Such was the upbringing.
The cult of learning reigned in our family. It was believed that without it it is simply impossible to live. The parents themselves constantly left for advanced training courses for doctors. And also the cult of labor, in the sense of business, employment, work. My brother and I were told to start work after the 7th grade. To my surprised: “Do we not have enough money?” Mom replied: “Money has nothing to do with it, at your age even the children of millionaires do not consider it shameful to work, and therefore it makes sense for you to start getting used to real work.” And to my objection that our other peers are not yet working, she said: “You don’t have to look up to anyone - you have your own destiny.” Our fate was working days during the holidays in my mother's hospital. My brother worked as a janitor, and I worked as a barmaid in the neonatal ward. My task was to bring the artificial mixture prepared in the dairy kitchen, feed the newborns, wash their faces, buttocks and all other soiled places, put them to bed, and then take back the dirty dishes. We received 40 rubles a month and brought the entire salary to our parents.
- And yet, not everyone is determined from childhood with their future profession. Someone, for example, has creative searches, a protracted search for himself ...
- Any search should occur only in the process of labor. And if a person lies on the couch and spits at the ceiling or stupidly watches stupefying programs, nothing intelligible can visit him. You can find something only in the huge baggage of what you have read and experienced. And for this it is necessary to study, work, think, read and learn. Then you will have something to say. Otherwise, you are zero, an empty place. And don't be under any illusions. If people are busy and loaded from childhood, they grow up normal. Definitely one hundred percent. Therefore, I am immensely grateful to my parents for teaching us not only to love each other, but also to work and build our lives on our own, without setting any barriers for ourselves.

Did you have any problems with your sons?
- Boys do not grow up as neatly and calmly as most girls. They master the environment. Of course, mine had everything. And they skipped classes - they ran to the club to play billiards, and started smoking in the doorways. So there were enough problems. But this experience happens to everyone, there is nothing to worry about. We remember it with laughter. Now both sons do not smoke or drink, but in adolescence, each got seriously drunk. My husband and I just put one in a bath of ice water, he sat there and exclaimed: “Mom, are you crazy ?!”, and I answered: “No. You must remember forever what it is.” And the other, fortunately, was very bad. A friend, shielding him, told me: “It was he who poisoned himself with mushrooms. Will you help him somehow? To which I said: “Dima, tell someone else about the mushrooms, but I definitely won’t help. Let him remember for the rest of his life what alcohol poisoning means.”
When the son overslept and regained consciousness, the husband called him to his office. And with us, a call to the pope meant that a person had already reached some degree of maturity. I remember the older one teasing the younger one: “Why talk to you if dad hasn’t even called you to the office yet!” So, at that time, my husband told me not to go in, and a man's conversation took place between father and son. And I listened, standing outside the door. Igor asks: “What did you drink ?!” “Wine-o-o,” draws the boy. “What wine?! Mark?! A country?!" - “I don’t know-th-th.” “So you drank without knowing what?! And what happened next?! Masha from three stations burped on your shoulder? I thought in horror: “Why is he talking about some Masha? It should be about something else ... "After a while, when Yura was going somewhere, I started:" Son, do you remember that alcohol ... ", to which he replied:" Mom, about Masha from three stations, I never I will never forget in my life." (Laughs.)
What are your kids doing now?
Both graduated from college last year. Yura is 26 years old, he is a doctor, now he is studying residency at the Academy of Postgraduate Education of Physicians in Surgery. I got married, and in January I will become a grandmother. I am waiting for the baby with great joy. My daughter-in-law is a wonderful girl from a wonderful family. Beautiful, smart, intelligent, educated. She graduated from the Plekhanov Academy, University of London, is engaged in management in the field of PR and advertising.
- Did the mother's heart tremble because the son budded?
- No. Moreover ... Actually, our children had such an attitude: not to get married before 30 years old. But when I met Karina, I said to Yurasha: “Son, installations are installations, but ... Just keep in mind: to meet such a girl is a huge rarity and great happiness.”
And 23-year-old Vasya is a lawyer with us, he will be engaged in corporate business and venture capital. I don't understand what it is. But I will understand. When my son decided to take up law, I said: “Vasya, doctors study the laws of nature, which, by definition, are unchanged. You intend to work with laws written by people - with mistakes, with tricks - and also changed by people. Are you sure you should go this way?” He swore that he was sure, and promised to always remain honest in his profession. This calmed me down a bit.
- In relation to your sons, did you apply the system of education of your parents? Let's say they sent them to the janitors?
- You know, I somehow caught myself thinking that I was a literal quote book of my mom and dad, that is, I talk to my children with the same phrases and constructions that our parents once spoke to us. Well, and accordingly, our sons, just like we once were, from an early age were always busy with something, and when they grew up, they began to work during the holidays. My husband and I considered it necessary - for the guys to feel how money is made, to realize that any work is honorable. The elder was enlisted as an orderly in the children's hospital of Leonid Mikhailovich Roshal. I deliberately chose to go there. Still, children's departments do not have that dirty side of medicine that exists in adult hospitals and sometimes looks scary. Children are touching, they always want to help. Even a child who has just peed causes tenderness. And it was important for me that the boy did not get rejected from the profession. And once, when Yura was guilty of something, as a punishment we sent him to work as an assistant janitor in the yard of our house. The future "boss" of the son, when we agreed with him, was literally shocked. What can we say about the neighbors.
Our family has never had such a vacation to spend a month on the beach. When the children were small, the husband said: “They won’t have any lying flat in the dark about what to do!” And they went to America for a month, to a sports camp, where every hour they went in for different sports, plus they studied English in a natural environment. And the second month we spent everything together, and my husband arranged for us just hellish events: either we climbed mountains somewhere on bicycles, or went on excursions from early morning until late evening. And if suddenly the boys had an hour and a half of rest, they simply thanked God for it.

- Isn't it harsh?
- So after all there was no such thing: “Everyone in the ranks! Step march on the excursion! Everything was fun, cool, provocatively and kindly. And in perfect harmony with each other. Recently, congratulating me on my 28th wedding anniversary, my mother said: “Daughter, in your family I see everything that I dreamed about for you.” To which I replied: “Mommy, everything I have, down to the last drop, is the fruit of your upbringing.” And she didn't flinch at all. My family turned out to be as beautiful as my parents.
We all love each other selflessly, and the opinion of adults for our children is just as sacred. That's just the characters, my husband and I turned out the opposite. Igor is balanced, restrained, laconic, so every word he says always sounds distinct and thorough. I can be impatient. And my mother does not accept my intemperance. A simple example. Once we were with her in America, and one day I was holding a meeting via Skype in Moscow. I got up at six in the morning because the time difference is eight hours. So, as usual, I said something passionately to the screen, scolded someone, scolded across the ocean. And then my mom came in. After listening to my angry exclamations for a minute, she categorically said: “I will ask you to stop this licentiousness in my house!” (With a smile.) Although it happened in my house. Of course, I immediately turned off the computer, because I knew that otherwise I would be publicly punished right away. Fortunately, all colleagues understand: my outbursts, conflicts are of an exclusively working nature.

Have you ever wanted to do anything other than medicine?
- With a medal after school, I could do anywhere. I decided to go to the Faculty of Journalism. But my mother took a tough stance. In an ultimatum form, she demanded that I go to study a real profession - medicine. But after I get a doctorate degree, I can do anything. If I want.

Since then, I have repeatedly told her: “Thank you so much for sending me to medical school. I am alive now only because I am a doctor by profession. And there is not an ounce of exaggeration in these words. Suffice it to say that I am a severe allergic person, and from time to time I have the most severe allergic reactions with Quincke's edema. And this, if you do not have an idea of what measures should be taken, is a real threat to life, because such a condition leads to suffocation and death. Every time I save my own life, because I know exactly what needs to be done and how much time I have for it. Since it is pointless to call an ambulance with Quincke's edema - they may not be in time, I rush to the hospital myself. Usually to my brother. On the way I call: "Lesha, help!" And he says: “How tired of you with your edema! When you finally filter all the allergens!” I run into the emergency department with my arm outstretched: “I need hormones! Straightaway!" - "What dose?" - "Maximum!" They immediately put me on a drip, and the swelling begins to subside.
- Interesting, what topics did you write your dissertations on?
— PhD was devoted to stress management. And the doctoral work was called "Reprogramming of cellular responses of macrophages: a new strategy for managing the inflammatory process." In a nutshell, this is about the fact that in our body there are blood cells called macrophages. Getting into tissues, and this can happen with any injury, they begin to devour everything: microbes, pieces of injured tissue. And at this moment they also determine how the situation will develop in the future: whether inflammation will lead to cancer or to recovery. Amazingly interesting work. In general, the whole medical science is excitingly interesting.
- Often in your program you very frankly, naturalistically tell and show everything related to medical topics. In your opinion, everything can be voiced and demonstrated?
- I have no doubt that the doctor should call a spade a spade. The chest is the breast or mammary gland, the penis is the penis, not the jade rod. This allows you to normally explain to a person who wants to get advice what is happening to him. And if the doctor, instead of explaining, is preoccupied with inventing some synonyms and roundabout words, patients will avoid him. Everything is extremely simple: you can’t offend and humiliate people, but you can and should tell them about the structure of the body. And to remind you to control your health, which I do all the time. Because, to my great regret, I know firsthand about the catastrophic lack of education of our compatriots in this matter. Well, a person should be examined once a year, simply obliged! Moreover, a serious examination that answers all the basic questions takes no more than half a day, and following this simple rule makes it possible to live in peace. Even if something unpleasant is found during the examination, as a rule, this is an early stage of the disease, when there is time to orient and take appropriate measures. And if, excuse me, the blood has gone down the throat, it means that the matter has gone too far. Therefore, I annoy everyone with the call: to live so healthy is great!
- All your co-hosts are men. Was that how it was intended?
- Since it is women who are the main viewers of all TV channels, it seemed to me important that they see worthy men on the screen. Educated, held in the profession. At the same time, not oligarchs, not bandits, but simply real men. I told about my idea to Konstantin Lvovich Ernst and Alexei Pimanov, my friend and producer, with whom I have been working for many years. The idea was accepted. And my co-hosts were approved - wonderful doctors. The question immediately arose: what should I look like - the only woman in the program? Began to look for style. They came up with: the end of the 1950s - the beginning of the 1960s. The war is over, the thaw is over, everyone wants a holiday - hence the beautiful colorful dresses of joyful tones, wide skirts with petticoats. For three and a half years, they sewed about 100 suits for me!

Did you say in America?
— No, we all sew in Russia. But once every six months we buy fabrics and all the decoration in New York, because these purchases, taking into account the flight of the dressers and their stay at the hotel, are several times cheaper than ours, and the choice is a thousand times greater.
Then we got tired of this style and started looking for a new one. Finding him was not easy. After the luxurious skirts of the 1960s, there was a mini period, which was completely unsuitable for me, then a maxi was established for a short time, and then unisex went on - all the women put on trousers, which, by the way, I adore, and they never got out of them again. But since in the program I am alone, surrounded by men, we were looking for a feminine style. Studying in detail the history of costumes, they began to rewind and came to the end of the 1920s. Also post-war. The First World War is over - people are enjoying life. In Russia - NEP, in America - jazz. The clothes are embroidered, appliquéd, corrugated, pleated, low waist... Stunning beauty! My latest collection is the fruit of the work of two wonderful girls - designer Alexandra Chernyshevskaya and clothing designer Olga Subbotina.
- And the technical part of the program - with these incredible layouts, ingenious experiments? Who is doing this?
- There is a group led by Yuri Malyshev, my eldest son. It includes people with a brilliant education: five of them are young doctors, two are not doctors. Three weeks before filming (and we shoot 15 programs in a row) they get together and develop themes. It is this young team that famously and provocatively comes up with the brightest topics. 10 days before filming, we hold a general meeting - with the participation of artists, directors, costume designers, all services of the program. Everything is finally discussed and approved there: models, dolls, special make-up imitating diseases. Then the production process begins. About 30 models, 200 pieces of props, up to 10 full-length costumes should be ready in 10 days. We have a pyrotechnician, a chemist, a magician on our staff, who also come up with all sorts of original special effects to make our stories about the structure of the body interesting. Still, the program has not only a cognitive function, but also an entertaining one. All this machinery and production rests on the shoulders of two Atlanteans in the truest sense of the word - our chief artist Lesha Teletnev and chief director Sergei Zubalov. And we also have two caryatids (in architecture - a sculpture of a woman replacing a column that holds the structure of a building in her arms. - Approx. "TN") - the chief editor of the program Evgenia Loginova and the main director Svetlana Griban. This is how it turns out: in a very small group we hold the firmament of our program. And completely happy.
- By the way, you know that there are already jokes about your nominal diet among the people. Here, for example, "tips from Elena Malysheva": if you want to lose weight, do not eat just three things: proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Or: remember that penguins are swallows that ate after 6:00 pm!
- Wonderful! Since people are joking, it means that they paid attention, showed interest in the topic. And this is already beneficial. After all, seriously speaking, obesity is actually a problem of gigantic proportions. And it's not just a cosmetic defect, but the fact that this is the most dangerous disease, the start for the emergence and development of countless diseases that really shorten life. Therefore, we have created a nutrition kit specially designed by doctors for people who want to lose weight. And they organized its delivery in a day (!) throughout Russia. A full range of ready-to-eat frozen food for a month, including four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, dessert and dinner. With instructions. And what food, you have no idea - healthy, beautiful, varied! Literally a miracle. If in doubt, try it and see.
We would like to thank the showroom of elite furniture Baker "BVS-Interiors" for their help in organizing the shooting.

look,
It has been a year since Elena Malysheva became a grandmother. Her eldest son Yuri had a boy, who was named Igor. “We were all in the maternity hospital when our Karishka was in labor. As soon as our grandson was born, we were allowed to enter the ward. You did not suffer in childbirth, but simply saw a miracle. This is completely uncomplicated happiness! But my husband has even more sensations, because our grandson is his full namesake: Igor Yuryevich Malyshev, "the TV presenter shared.
ON THIS TOPIC
According to Elena, her husband has changed a lot, becoming a grandfather. “It seems to me that he has become a very gentle and obedient person in everything that concerns his grandson. Previously, it never occurred to me to ask him to do household chores - he was always busy. Now it’s enough just to hint that you need to be with your grandson, help him change clothes. And my husband does it with such joy, as if he only dreamed about it.He often says that life moves in a spiral. And little Igor Malyshev is a new round of life, on which his grandson and full namesake will live his bright and wonderful life," Malysheva said.
In February, the baby celebrated his first birthday. Elena talked about how they congratulated the baby: “We gave our Igorechka a children's train with circular rails. It is intended for children from one and a half to five years old - as the child grows, he can ride in a circle or drive himself along the track. The locomotive of the grandson did not please, but frightened. We hope that when he grows up, he will appreciate such an interesting gift."
Malysheva ignores her son's family and prefers not to meddle with advice. " The son's family is a completely separate unit of society with its own traditions and way of life. I had episodes twice when I had to decide whether to intervene or show tact and respect, "Elena admitted.
“My husband and I bought our grandson a silver spoon. But our Karina told me: “American pediatricians do not recommend using metal spoons for children under one year old, as they can injure the child’s gums. I answered: "Come on, Karish, we have raised some handsome men! No one is injured!" And then I thought: “Lord, what if I really scratch Igorechka’s gums ?!” I understand that all the pain of experiences will fall not on me, but on the boy's mom and dad. Let them feed from their modern plastic spoons!” – said TV doctor.
The second incident happened in the summer. “At the peak of the heat, I announced that I should give the child plain water so that he would not become dehydrated. To which I received this answer from my son: “The American Association of Pediatricians recommends adding additional breastfeeding in the heat, but not giving water, because when using water, children under one year of age increases the risk of intestinal infections. "I started to argue and said that the European Association of Pediatricians, on the contrary, advises water. But then I thought: boiled water is not a sterile product, no matter how hard you try. But breast milk is sterile, beautiful, with protective antibodies! Suddenly from this damned water our baby will have diarrhea? I just can't live! And I retreated again," Elena said.
Nevertheless, Malysheva has an excellent relationship with her daughter-in-law. "We were very lucky with Karina. She grew up in a complete family in which her mother was very ill. And all these difficulties fell on Karishka and her amazing dad. When she first came to our house, and it was on New Year's Eve, she made the first toast to her parents, spoke of them with such respect and warmth that my heart sank. a very nice girl came to us. She is very bright, cheerful, cheerful. And with what respect she treats our son! I understand that this is how her parents raised her. But sometimes I tell her: "I have the impression that you grew up at our place." Everything coincides so much - outlook on life, the ability to work, a huge responsibility for the family ... "- quotes Elena
A well-known TV presenter throughout the country, professor and doctor of medical sciences, Elena Malysheva comes from Kemerovo, from a family of hereditary doctors. Her husband, who also chose the medical path, is also from here.
Elena Malysheva
Elena Malysheva, whose husband Igor, after graduate school received an offer to continue scientific research in Moscow, lived with him in a hostel, where their first son was born. After the birth of her second child, Elena had to return to her homeland, as he was diagnosed with a serious illness. Six months later, when the baby recovered, she followed her husband to the capital, although here she had a great career. By that time, the woman was broadcasting on local television, but her husband managed to find the words that convinced his wife to leave with him and save the family.
Elena and her sons
They had to endure many difficulties, with which they successfully coped. Today, Elena Malysheva's husband is known as a scientist in the field of molecular biology, professor and doctor of medical sciences. The sons also got on their feet - the eldest Yuri followed in the footsteps of his parents, continuing the family tradition and studying to be a doctor. The youngest decided to become a lawyer for himself. Recently, they have moved to America, where they continued their studies.
Malysheva with her husband
According to Elena, she feels behind her husband, Igor Yuryevich, like behind a stone wall. He is reliable, has a balanced character, a serious and by nature very self-possessed person. She always listens to his opinion and never argues, especially with regard to the programs that she broadcasts on central television. All their disagreements are most often connected with the point of view on the upbringing of children.
Elena Malysheva in the circle of family
The external severity of the spouse hides a kind heart, because it was he who picked up the puppy abandoned on the street, which is now everyone's favorite. According to well-read children, they have a typical British family - mom and dad, two children and a dog. Understanding the busyness of his wife, he tries to make homework as easy as possible. Their family has a housekeeper, all household appliances are available. The last gift was the purchase of a dishwasher, appreciated by a grateful wife.
The fate of Malysheva is developing very successfully, the tandem of medicine and television has become harmonious. Her opinion is trusted by the audience, because the whole life of this wonderful and incredibly charming woman can serve as an example for many.
Elena Malysheva is the chief TV doctor of Russia, the host of the Health and Living Healthy programs. In her programs, she is not afraid to raise slippery topics, due to which she stirs up interest in her person and causes public outcry. She quite often becomes an image for jokes and an example for parodies. But her program “Live is great!” has been published on weekdays since 2010, and Weight Loss Methods with Elena Malysheva are very popular.Childhood of Elena Malysheva
Elena Malysheva (Shabunina) graduated from secondary school No. 19 in the city of Kemerovo, and with a gold medal. After that, she went to study at the Faculty of Medicine at the Kemerovo Medical Institute. The future TV presenter graduated from the university in 1983 with a red diploma. 
A year later, Elena Shabunina entered the graduate school of the Moscow Academy of Medical Sciences. Three years later, she already defended her Ph.D. thesis on the topic “Prevention and elimination of cardiac arrhythmias by adapting to stressful effects and activating gamma-aminobutyric acid.”
Then Malysheva went to work as a general practitioner, but she did not see patients for long, but exchanged the doctor's office for the office of the Second Medical Institute in Moscow. There she became an assistant at the Department of Internal Medicine. Now Elena Vasilievna works as a professor at the Moscow State Medical and Dental University.
Leading career Elena Malysheva
Elena Malysheva began publishing medical programs back in 1992. The first program called "Recipe" was released on the Kemerovo TV channel "Kuzbass". A year later, the newly-minted presenter headed the Lazaret program, which aired on Channel Five and the Northern Crown TV channel. 
But already in 1994, Elena Malysheva became the author and host of the daily program “Did you call the doctor?”. It was a heading of the channel "Business Russia" on RTR. And in parallel with her work on television, the presenter took a course in the USA at the European Center for Health and the Environment. Only the most prominent journalists who deal with health topics were invited there.
In 1997, the Health program was revived on the ORT channel. And Elena Malysheva became its host, leader and author.

Secrets of a slim figure from Elena Malysheva
Since August 2010, Malysheva has been broadcasting “Live is great!”. It comes out daily on weekdays in the morning prime time on Channel One.
It is worth noting that Elena Malysheva got on television quite by accident. When the youngest son of the presenter was only ten months old, he became seriously ill. It was not an easy time in the country, the store shelves were empty, there was confusion and chaos around. The baby was operated on in Moscow, but then the family returned to Kemerovo. In his hometown, it was easier to go through the rehabilitation period, Malysheva's parents were doctors. And after her son got better, Elena Vasilievna called the press service of the Kemerovo administration and complained about the lack of good and life-affirming programs on the air.
A school friend persuaded Malysheva to go on television and introduced her to the production editor with the words “This is Elena Malysheva. She will host a good health program.” The girl immediately began to broadcast live. By the way, she claims that she was not at all afraid in front of the cameras and led the programs naturally. And six months after the start of her television career, Malysheva returned to Moscow with her family. Here she already knew that she needed to get on television.
Personal life and family of Elena Malysheva
Elena Malysheva is married. Her husband was a scientist, professor, doctor of medical sciences and molecular biologist Igor Malyshev. The family brings up two boys: Yuri and Vasily. 
By the way, Elena Vasilievna notes that her husband is a very balanced and calm person, self-possessed and serious, there are no professional conflicts with him. He very rarely watches his wife's programs. However, if any broadcast still sees and makes a remark, then Elena Vasilievna agrees. Disagreements in the family are rare and only about the upbringing of sons.
Elena Malysheva. Wife. Love story
Elena Malysheva and the program "Live healthy!"
Elena Malysheva's day is scheduled literally by the minute. The TV presenter gets up at six in the morning and starts waking up the whole family. Then he feeds everyone with breakfast and collects the children for school. At half past seven, the sons go to school, and the husband takes Elena Vasilievna to work in Ostankino. At the television center, the presenter already at half past nine goes to work with her head.First of all, she gets into the Internet, because many viewers ask questions through the World Wide Web. After that, together with the secretary, Malysheva gets acquainted with important records: who needs help with medicines. And then the routine with the program begins: filming, interviews, dubbing, editing. By the way, every Monday at the planning meeting, the nature and plots of the next program are discussed. The host's weekday ends at five in the evening, after which Malysheva gets home on a ride, checks the lessons of the children and goes to bed.
Elena Malysheva now
By the way, a few years ago Elena Malysheva became a member of the board of trustees of the National Prize in the field of professional cosmetology "Diva". In other words, the host now "supervises" both health and beauty. 
During her career Elena Malysheva became the author of more than fifty scientific publications in the field of medicine. And for her contribution to the development of domestic television and radio broadcasting in 2006, she was awarded the state award "Order of Friendship" and two government awards: the medal "For Services to Domestic Health Care" and the badge "Excellent Health Care Worker".
Since 2012, she has been actively promoting a commercial project - Elena Malysheva's Diet.
Healthy lifestyle of Elena Malysheva
Elena Malysheva treats her health and the health of her family with all responsibility. The presenter does not drink or smoke. And I am sure that everyone is simply obliged to take care of themselves: sleep a lot and eat only healthy foods. By the way, Elena Vasilievna practically threw out meat from her diet, she prefers to eat vegetables and herbs. And in the morning the whole family eats oatmeal. And Malysheva advises everyone to start the day with her, because she removes cholesterol from the body. 
However, Malysheva refrains from charging in the morning, although she and her whole family go to the pool, gyms and sports clubs. She is already accustomed to constant employment and a rather difficult rhythm of life. Adheres to the principle that the harder life is, the harder it is to go crazy.
In one of her interviews, Elena Malysheva noted: “You know, American statistics say that it is almost impossible to go crazy from a difficult life. Fewer suicides, fewer neuroses and so on. Therefore, my advice is: get tired - and you will not go crazy ”January 27, 2011 in his program“ Living great! Elena Malysheva showed how a man is circumcised and why it is needed. Moreover, she imitated the process of circumcision of the foreskin on a woman by cutting off the collar of her turtleneck. This broadcast caused a great public outcry. In one of the episodes of the TV show ProjectorParisHilton, host Ivan Urgant, together with his comrades, played a parody of the circumcision process.
In one of the programs, Elena Malysheva cut up a rat on the air for the sake of an experiment. This fact caused great bewilderment among the viewers of Channel One. Animal rights activists filed a complaint.
Fans of pop king Michael Jackson also filed a complaint against Elena Malysheva. All because the presenter in one of the broadcasts of the Minute of Glory program publicly insulted the artist.
