Komal Patil-Sisodia, MD is a triple board-certified physician in endocrinology, obesity medicine and internal medicine, and the host of the Reset/Recharge podcast. Her new podcast explores the complexities of women’s general and metabolic health that manifest with aging.
She believes that, “The transition to menopause has a ripple effect on quality of life and longevity, in addition to far-reaching implications for self-care, self-worth, and how we engage with our families, friends and work.”
We had the opportunity to chat about a number of topics on her most recent podcast, Unpacking “The Menopause Menu”: Science, Stories, & Solutions with Dr. Susan Baumgaertel and I think you’ll really enjoy her fresh approach.
She’s provided a nice list of time stamps on the podcast website, but here are a few other themes that we considered:
🎬 A bit about my background, including myMDadvocate and patient advocacy
🎬 Symptoms of peri/menopause
🎬 The Menopause Menu book structure and design
🎬 Menopause and chronic rheumatologic illness
🎬 Peaceful coexistence of evidence-based and holistic approaches
🎬 Keeping an open mind and listening to women
🎬 Men can also benefit from learning about peri/menopause
🎬 Don’t crowd-source your healthcare
🎬 Be discerning
🎬 New/ongoing research in women’s midlife health
🎬 The many changes in midlife
🎬 Accessing care, advocacy, and system navigation
Enjoy the replay!
