Does this sound familiar?


- You’re waking in the night drenched in sweat, again.
- You’re suddenly overheating in meetings, at dinner, or for no obvious reason.
- Your clothes don’t fit the way they used to, even though nothing has really changed.
- You’re eating well, moving your body… and yet the weight keeps creeping on.

- And the most frustrating part?

- You’re not sure what’s normal, what’s hormonal, and what you can do about it.

If you’ve been told to “just ride it out”, “eat less and move more”, or handed conflicting advice, you’re not alone. And you’re not imagining this.

This webinar is for women who want clarity, not confusion.


Midlife changes, particularly hot flushes and weight gain are not random. They’re closely linked to hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause, and understanding that link is the key to taking back control.

This practical, evidence-based webinar is designed to help you understand what’s happening in your body and what your real options are at this stage of life.

About Dr Usha Thiagaraja

Dr Usha has been a dedicated medical doctor since 2005. She completed her hospital training in New Zealand before moving to Perth. Since 2013, she has focused primarily on General Practice, with a special interest in Women’s Health.

Her philosophy centres on empowering women through knowledge and evidence-based care, helping them thrive through every stage of midlife. Her deep passion for guiding women through perimenopause and menopause inspired the vision behind Pranavi Women’s Health.

A strong advocate for healthy aging and midlife wellbeing, Dr Usha recognises that menopause often coincides with changes in metabolic health and weight management. She integrates her expertise in nutrition, movement, and lifestyle medicine to help her patients achieve balance and vitality.

Dr Usha lives with her husband and her daughter in Perth. Outside her clinical practice, she finds joy in travel, outdoor fitness, yoga, painting and swimming — embracing the very principles of wellness she encourages in her patients.
