249: Emily Sardi, NP, Women’s Health Expert: Estrogen Loss Is Ruining Your Nights

Author: Mollie McGlocklin, Mollie Eastman January 22, 2026 Duration: 44:54

Emily Sadri is a double board-certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nurse Midwife. She studied at the University of Pennsylvania and began her career in New York City, drawn to midwifery for its deep focus on relationships and walking with women—not in front of them.

After a decade in conventional medicine, frustrated by the limits of insurance-based care, Emily founded Aurelia—a telehealth practice for women in midlife—on the belief that real care starts with time, trust, and connection.

A mother of four, Emily lives what she teaches: that women deserve healthcare that sees them, hears them, and stands beside them through every stage of life. At Aurelia, she’s rewriting the rules—and helping women do midlife better™.
