Testimonials

Neelima's Zero fear Menopause course is potentially transformative. She is passionate about the cause, it seems to be her calling. With vignettes from her life and friends' lives, with wry self effacing humor, she takes on the big M in all its myriad manifestations--- and is happy to answer any queries on anything, common, trivial, bothersome or potentially sinister. Her approach is holistic- not just physical health, but the " best you" physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially too! In all of these her approach is novel-- from many sources that have worked for her, as she provides links, reading lists and TED talks-- very useful for those of us who have a minefield of YouTube videos to disappear down many rabbit holes, wasting precious time,instead -- a curated list, checklists, and a doable strategy. She ( and Raakhee, the nutrition specialist) don't claim that the approach is easy--- far from it. But, it definitely will be worth it to build that spectacular strong, confident 65 year old with the 50 year old you have today--- using effective tools like visualization and leadership methods from motivational gurus like Tony Robbins and Anne Dickson. I learnt about a plant based diet and the gut microbiome- based on Dr Gundry, and that food choices and preparations are learnable skills. All in all, Neelima is a brilliant doctor who has clearly spent a lot of time in gathering this information-- she is on a mission to empower women-- and though she is not one to mince her words, she does walk the talk and is never patronizing or sanctimonious, insisting that we're on this " journey " together.And yes, she is a powerful speaker. She is optimistic, and makes us feel too, that women of ' a certain age' can be a force to reckon with-- instead of a burden on society. I wish her, and all the feisty ladies on this journey, all the best.More power to you.

Recently, I attended an online course entitled “Master the Menopause” conducted by Dr. Neelima Deshpande. It was so worthwhile and relevant . It felt like the most well rounded course I’ve ever been to. It was spread over five sessions, for an hour each, consisting of 4 main sections where the presenter talks about the evolutionary journey of menopause followed by the physical, psychological and urogenital symptoms and other aspects of Menopause. The workshop concluded with the speaker providing the participants a comprehensive, practical and holistic, yet evidence based plan to beat the myths of menopause and embrace it with a positive mind. I’d like to thank Dr. Deshpande for showing me the way to a better and meaningful menopausal journey . It has been an eye opener. The highlights of the course have been the simplicity and lucidity of the talks, the breadth and the depth of the contents which clearly are very well researched and the culmination of the course with a clear pathway to overcome this challenging milestone with fortitude and pride. And the best part is the conductor is an amazing speaker who can keep you engaged and enthralled till the very end leaving you wanting for more. What more could you ask for? So, I’d like to conclude by saying if there is ever a second one by her, make sure you’re on it. It’ll be a worthwhile experience, I can guarantee that.
