We Are Who We've Needed: A Menopause Specialist on Redesigning the Blueprint for Midlife Women

Most clinicians were trained in the years after the 2002 WHI study and were taught that hormone therapy was dangerous, so they stopped offering it. Generations of women have paid the price. Dr. Deepti Gandhi is one of the physicians who refused to leave her patients without answers. She trained herself, got the certification, and became the specialist she could not find for the women she was treating. In this episode of the Wellness and Growth Journeys podcast, Mialisa Garnes talks with Dr. Gandhi about why a generation of doctors lost menopause knowledge, the silent risks hidden behind hot flashes, the blueprint of acceptance, non-resistance, and problem-solving she teaches her patients, why no one is coming to give us medals for suffering through it, and how to redesign the second half of your life on your own terms. About Dr. Deepti Gandhi Board-certified family medicine physician with over 22 years of experience, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP), and personal development coach. She blends holistic care with evidence-based medicine, coaches fellow physicians on preventing burnout, and teaches future doctors how to build joyful careers.
