When we think about aging, menopause is often framed as something to endure or “get through.” But this episode challenges that narrative, revealing menopause as a powerful biological and neurological transition that can unlock greater clarity, resilience, and purpose.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to reframe menopause as a powerful biological, psychological, and cultural initiation, not a decline. Dr. Pelz traces the mythology and history that shaped how we view menopause, explains what modern science gets right (and wrong), and unpacks why intense emotions, brain changes, and identity shifts are not signs of dysfunction but signals of transformation. She also dives into practical guidance around nutrition, glucose balance, hormones, genetics, and daily habits that support women in this stage of life, while offering insight into how men can better support the women they love.
