    Perimenopause, ADHD & Finding the Right Support | Part 2 with Dr Kiren Sahota

    Many women in their 40s are told they're anxious, burnt out or simply experiencing perimenopause. But for some, there may be another piece of the puzzle. In Part 2, Dr Natalia Spierings and Consultant Family Medicine Physician Dr Kiren Sahota discuss the overlap between perimenopause and ADHD, why diagnosis takes time, the importance of gut health, hormones and lifestyle, and why a trusted family doctor is often the best place to begin. They also explore HRT, ADHD assessments, the gut-brain connection and why treating the whole person—not just individual symptoms—is essential.

    Perimenopause or ADHD? Why So Many Women Are Being Diagnosed in Their 40s (Part 1)

    Could your symptoms be perimenopause, ADHD, or both? In Part 1 of this two-part episode, Dr Natalia Spierings is joined by Consultant Family Medicine Physician Dr Kiren Sahota to discuss why many women first experience ADHD symptoms, or receive a diagnosis, during perimenopause. They explore the relationship between hormones and brain function, why ADHD is so often missed in girls and women, and how many high-performing women spend years masking symptoms before reaching a point where they no longer feel like themselves. They also discuss executive function, dopamine, diagnosis, and why understanding the whole person is key to providing the right treatment. Part 2 releases next Wednesday.

    Body Sculpting, Liposuction, GLP-1s & The Reality of Weight Loss Surgery with Dr Hardik Ganatra

    Body Sculpting, Liposuction, GLP-1s & The Reality of Weight Loss Surgery with Dr Hardik Ganatra This week on The Dubai Doctors Podcast, Dr Natalia Spierings is joined by Dr Hardik Ganatra, a Dubai-based plastic surgeon specialising exclusively in body contouring and body reshaping. Together, they discuss what happens when the body changes after major weight loss — whether through lifestyle changes, bariatric surgery or GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro. They explore: • Why liposuction is not a weight-loss treatment • How fat cells are permanently removed during liposuction • Why lean patients and bodybuilders may seek body sculpting procedures • The importance of accurate body composition testing with DEXA scans • Why InBody and bioimpedance devices can sometimes give misleading results • Excess skin after significant weight loss • GLP-1 medications, muscle preservation and the future of weight-loss treatments • The role of protein, resistance training and maintaining muscle • Gynaecomastia surgery in male bodybuilders • The ethics of plastic surgery and helping patients achieve realistic goals Dr Hardik also shares his perspective on why aesthetic procedures should never replace healthy habits — but can sometimes be a powerful catalyst for confidence, wellbeing and positive change. A fascinating conversation about medicine, fitness, body composition and making informed choices.
