Hema Prakash | Women’s Healthcare Reimagined: The Revolutionary Approach Changing Lives

This was such an import episode from earlier in the year, we were compelled to replay it for you.Women’s healthcare is broken and Hema Prakash is rebuilding it from the ground up.In this powerful conversation, Hema shares how decades in tech and private equity, a global upbringing, and her own perimenopause journey shaped the creation of Ponti Health - an integrated clinic reimagining women’s health through slow medicine, time-rich consultations, and a fiercely woman-centred model of care.Hema challenges the medicalisation of menopause, exposes gaps in the Australian healthcare system, and lays out the truth: women have been underserved for too long. The revolution begins with giving women back their intelligence, agency, and time.This is a call to rethink what women deserve… in healthcare, leadership, financial autonomy and life.  You’ll hear:➝ Why menopause isn’t a disease and why reframing it changes everything➝ How Ponti Health blends East, West, tech and time into a groundbreaking new model➝ Why women’s financial independence is essential for power and long-term wellbeing➝ The dangerously underfunded state of women’s health research➝ The leadership philosophy Hema lives by: humility, empathy and excellence. New podcast episodes drop every Monday to power your week. Be the first to catch inspiring interviews, empowering stories, and thought-provoking conversations. 🎧 Watch and subscribe: YouTube | Spotify | Apple Podcasts.✔ Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeuAx74qUBrHxaQPEnxRpTw?sub_confirmation=1✔ Follow on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4hUXLl9Oc8xSSmR652wP3c?si=554c1a25f0e848a8✔ Follow on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/power-of-women-podcast/id1735659590✔ Follow on the website: https://powerofwomen.com.au/podcast/  Who is Hema Prakash?Hema Prakash is the co-founder of Ponti Health, Australia’s first integrated women’s health clinic built on the principles of slow medicine, agency, and whole-woman care.
