Breaking the Silence on Menopause: A Conversation with Amita Sharma of NorishDoc

A Queer Understanding

When Amita Sharma found herself struggling with unexplained symptoms in her early 40s—brain fog, anxiety, hot flashes that disrupted her workday—she faced a healthcare system that offered little beyond anxiety medications and quick dismissals. Her search for answers led to the creation of NourishDoc, a holistic wellness platform designed specifically for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.
This episode addresses the personal toll of navigating hormonal changes in silence. The workplace anxiety, relationship struggles (60% of divorces among women happen during these years), and the fear of judgment that keeps women from seeking help. NourishDoc offers a lifeline through evidence-based holistic approaches, including dietary modifications, supplements, meditation, and access to specialized experts—all designed to be accessible and affordable.
