What does it really mean to live inside a woman’s body, from your first period to post-menopause? And what happens when we stop treating these milestones like isolated events and start honoring them as part of one powerful, continuous journey?

In this deeply insightful episode, Dr. Payal Beri sits down with renowned OB/GYN and bestselling author Dr. Suzanne Gilberg to explore the full spectrum of womanhood — from menstruation to menopause and everything in between.

With over 26 years of clinical experience, Dr. Gilberg shares why it is time to shift the way we view women’s health. This isn’t just a medical conversation. It is a cultural one. Together, they unpack the layers of silence, shame, and systemic bias that have shaped how women experience their bodies.
