Dr. Deepti Nina Gandhi

This week, Aashi Arora sat down with Dr. Deepti Gandhi—family physician, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, and advocate for midlife women’s health—for a groundbreaking conversation about hormonal health, equity, and why leadership must include conversations we’ve been conditioned to avoid.From cultural silence to clinical gaps, Dr. Gandhi unpacks why menopause isn’t just a health issue—it’s a leadership one. With clarity and compassion, she reveals how misunderstanding symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, or burnout can cost women their confidence, careers, and quality of life—and what we can do to change that.

💡 Leadership Lessons from Dr. Deepti Gandhi’s Episode:

🔸 Silence Isn’t Strength.  Dr. Gandhi reminds us that there’s no medal for “toughing it out.” Breaking the stigma around menopause starts with open, informed conversation—at home and at work.

🔸 Symptoms Aren’t Just Hot Flashes.  From brain fog and joint pain to mood changes and sleep issues, hormonal shifts affect focus, performance, and well-being in ways most leaders aren’t trained to recognize.

🔸 Education Is Power.  Most medical professionals aren’t taught menopause care. Dr. Gandhi encourages leaders and individuals to seek out accurate, evidence-based resources to make empowered decisions.

🔸 Workplaces Must Evolve. Menopause impacts productivity, promotions, and retention. Creating inclusive, informed spaces is not just compassionate—it’s strategic.🔸 Midlife Is a Mirror.  Instead of viewing symptoms as setbacks, Dr. Gandhi reframes midlife as an opportunity to pause, realign, and reclaim purpose—for your health, your leadership, and your legacy.💬 “You are the leader when it comes to your health.
