Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Join host Arti Solanki as she sits down with obesity medicine specialist Dr. Sejal Desai for an insightful conversation about navigating midlife health, hormones, and metabolism with confidence.
Why does it suddenly feel like your body has changed overnight in midlife? If your usual diet and exercise routine no longer seems to work, you're not imagining it—and it's not a lack of willpower.
In this episode, obesity medicine specialist Dr. Sejal Desai breaks down the science behind perimenopause and menopause, explaining how hormonal changes affect metabolism, weight, hunger, energy, and overall health. She shares why so many women feel frustrated during this stage of life and, more importantly, what they can do to take back control.
Together, we discuss practical strategies for supporting your body through midlife, including the importance of protein, strength training, mental health, and sustainable lifestyle habits. Dr. Desai also challenges common myths about aging, showing that weight gain, osteoporosis, and declining health are not simply inevitable parts of getting older.
As a South Asian physician, Dr. Desai also highlights the unique health risks women in the South Asian community face, including diabetes and heart disease, and explains why understanding your family history and advocating for your health are so important.
If you're navigating perimenopause, menopause, or simply want to feel stronger and healthier as you age, this conversation is filled with evidence-based advice, reassurance, and actionable tips to help you prioritize your health—without guilt.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why hormones—not a lack of discipline—often drive midlife weight gain
- How metabolism changes during perimenopause and menopause
- The role of protein, fiber, and strength training in healthy aging
- Why mental health deserves as much attention as physical health
- Common myths about aging and menopause that deserve to be challenged
- How South Asian women can reduce their risk of chronic diseases through proactive care.
This episode is a reminder that midlife isn't the beginning of decline—it's an opportunity to better understand your body and invest in your long-term health.
