Hema Prakash is a rebel with a cause. She built her career in male-dominated boardrooms. Now she’s disrupting another broken system: women’s healthcare. In this powerful episode, Hema shares how her rebellious streak, global upbringing, and experience in tech and private equity converged to ignite Ponti Health—a ground-breaking, one-stop clinic for women’s health care that refuses to medicalise menopause or diminish a woman’s agency.
Hema challenges the idea that menopause is a “condition” to be treated. For her, it’s a transition—normal, natural, and deserving of slow, respectful, evidence-based care. She opens up about her own journey through perimenopause, what’s missing in the Australian health system, and why women must stop putting themselves last.
KEY TOPICS:
· Menopause isn’t a disease—and Héma’s on a mission to change how it's treated
· Research in women's health is underfunded and needs support.·
· What it means to lead with humility, excellence, and empathy in business and health
New podcast episodes drop every Monday to power your week.
