Reclaiming Strength: Dr. Kemi on Women’s Health, Midlife, and Redefining Success What does it mean to walk away from a decade of surgical training to reclaim your health, your time, and your purpose? In this inspiring episode of Her Own Narrative, we sit down with Dr. Kemi, a former orthopedic surgeon turned GP, who is now on a mission to empower women from the inside out starting with the very bones we stand on. Having trained for over 10 years in one of medicine’s most male-dominated fields, Dr. Kemi opens up about the hidden struggles of balancing motherhood with a demanding surgical career, the pressure to “match up” in a world not built for women, and the toll it took on her mental and physical health. But her story is not one of failure it’s one of redefinition and rebuilding. Today, Dr. Kemi is raising awareness around bone health, mobility, and core strength, especially for women entering midlife, perimenopause, and beyond. She sheds light on the long-overlooked link between prevention, movement, and quality of life reminding us that our health in our 60s, 70s, and 80s is shaped by the choices we make now. Key Topics in This Episode: The reality of being a woman in male-dominated medicine. Why walking away from a “prestigious” career can be the bravest choice. The hidden burnout women face when trying to “compete like men.” Bone health 101: osteoporosis, perimenopause, and prevention through strength. Practical tips for mobility, balance, and core strength at any age. Redefining what success and fulfillment look like as a woman. Why It Matters: For too long, women’s health conversations have centered around skin, beauty, or diet while bone health, mobility, and longevity remain overlooked. Dr. Kemi’s journey proves that reclaiming your health isn’t about losing what you’ve built, but about creating a sustainable, thriving future on your own terms. Listen now to hear Dr. Kemi’s powerful story of resilience, reinvention, and the movement every woman needs to embrace.
