Lisa Ray Brings NuHer to Hyderabad A New Era for Women’s Midlife Health

Hyderabad:  On June 18th, acclaimed actor and dedicated women’s wellness advocate Lisa Ray will visit Hyderabad to spearhead a vital conversation on women’s midlife health. Her mission centers on the launch of NuHer, a pioneering, science-backed clinic designed to bridge the long-standing gaps in care, awareness, and support for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.

Co-founded by Ray, NuHer seeks to revolutionize how society views and manages the hormonal transitions that define midlife. Ray is joined by a distinguished clinical board comprising experts including Dr. Reina Punj, Dr. Kajal Parikh, Dr. Priyanka Mehta, Dr. Anuya Manerkar, Priyanka Kapoor, and Parinaz Agha. Together, this team is tackling the “silence” that often surrounds menopause, a phase frequently dismissed or misattributed to mere stress or aging.

Addressing the Silent Transition:
“For much of our lives, we are taught just enough about our bodies to get by,” Ray noted during the announcement. “Midlife follows, which is often the longest and most transformative phase of a woman’s body, yet it arrives with little structure, clarity, or support.”

By 2026, it is estimated that over 100 million women in India will be in the midst of or post-menopausal. Research indicates that more than 80 percent of women aged 40 to 60 experience disruptive symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disturbances, mood swings, and hot flashes yet the vast majority do not seek formal medical intervention.

“What struck me most was the silence,” Ray added. “Symptoms are minimized, conversations avoided, and a profound biological shift is treated as something to endure rather than understand.”

A Holistic, Science-Backed Approach:
NuHer positions itself as a sanctuary for women, offering a comprehensive suite of services that go beyond symptom management. The clinic’s framework includes:

Medical Consultations: Expert guidance on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and evidence-based treatments.

Holistic Wellness: Personalized plans encompassing nutrition, sleep hygiene, and mental health support.

Advanced Diagnostics: A systematic approach to addressing the physiological changes associated with falling estrogen and progesterone levels, such as risks to bone density, cardiovascular health, and metabolism.

Nutraceutical Support: Tailored formulations like MENOVITA (for hot flashes, night sweats, and mood balance) and MENOSTRONG (for bone, digestive, and intimate health).

Expert Insights:
Dr. Reina Punj, an expert in internal medicine and endocrinology, emphasized the importance of proactive care: “Menopause affects multiple aspects of health, from metabolism and bone density to overall wellbeing. Approaching these changes with preventive, holistic care helps women navigate this stage with confidence.”

Echoing this, obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr. Priyanka Mehta highlighted the necessity of early intervention: “With the right medical guidance and lifestyle support, women can navigate this transition with greater comfort and maintain long-term health.”

As Lisa Ray brings her advocacy to Hyderabad, she continues to challenge conventions, encouraging women to move from a state of “enduring” to one of “sovereignty” over their own health.
