Do you ever feel like you’re not getting straight answers about your hormones, your cycle, or your health? You’re not alone. Women’s health has historically been under researched, undervalued, and under resourced, leaving many women stuck navigating symptoms without real clarity or support.
In this episode, Dr. Komal Patil-Sisodia (endocrinologist, internist, obesity medicine specialist, and Menopause Society certified practitioner introduces her newly rebranded podcast, Clearly Hormonal, and shares why she made the decision to move away from Reset Recharge. Through a variety of personal and professional experiences in women’s healthcare, she has gained a deep understanding of how the gaps in research and education impact both patients and providers – and why so many women end up feeling dismissed, misdiagnosed, or misunderstood.
Dr. Patil-Sisodia breaks down the systemic issues that have shaped women’s healthcare, why confusion around reproductive and hormonal health is so common, and what needs to change. Her mission with Clearly Hormonal is simple but powerful: to cut through the noise, identify the right questions, and empower women by providing them the clarity and knowledge they deserve.
