    748: The Truth About Inflammation and Autoimmunity That Most Women Are Missing with Mickey Trescott

    “What if your body isn’t failing you… but asking for a different kind of support?” In this episode, Dr. Mariza sits down with Mickey Trescott to unpack the powerful connection between inflammation, autoimmune disease, gut health, and perimenopause. Together, they explore why so many women are dismissed when labs look “normal” despite debilitating symptoms like fatigue, bloating, brain fog, joint pain, skin issues, and weight resistance. Mickey shares her personal journey with Hashimoto’s, celiac disease, and autoimmune recovery—and how the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) became a transformative tool for reducing inflammation and helping millions feel better in their bodies. They also dive into the evolution of AIP over the last 15 years, the newest research validating its effectiveness, and why perimenopause often becomes an inflammatory inflection point where hidden symptoms suddenly rise to the surface. If you’ve been struggling with chronic inflammation, unexplained symptoms, or feeling dismissed by conventional medicine, this conversation will help you connect the dots—and give you practical hope moving forward. MICKEY TRESCOTT Mickey Trescott is a nutritional therapy practitioner, cookbook author, and co-creator of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP). After being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and celiac disease in her twenties, she dedicated her work to helping people navigate autoimmune disease through nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and inflammation support. She has helped shape the modern AIP movement and trained hundreds of healthcare practitioners around the world. IN THIS EPISODE Why autoimmune disease impacts women at significantly higher rates How inflammation often worsens during perimenopause and menopause The connection between gut health, food sensitivities, and immune regulation Why “normal labs” don’t always reflect how women actually feel The science and research behind the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) The difference between Core AIP and the newer Modified AIP approach Why food reintroductions and personalization are key for long-term healing QUOTES“Your body is not working against you. It’s asking for a different level of support.” “Three out of every four-ish people get clinical improvement from doing an elimination diet when you have autoimmune disease.” “When hormones begin to shift, the body becomes far less tolerant of underlying inflammation.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Use code ENERGIZED and get 30% off on your first BATCH order http://hellobatch.com/ENERGIZED Grab Mickey’s new AIP book  https://theautoimmuneprotocol.com/ Visit Autoimmune Wellness Website Autoimmune Wellness Instagram Mickey Trescott Instagram Mickey Trescott Facebook Mickey Trescott Youtube RELATED EPISODES  747: The Silent Shift: Why Perimenopause Changes Everything 717: “I Don’t Feel Like Myself Anymore”: The Mental & Emotional Reality of Perimenopause 741: Estrogen, Gut Health, and Metabolism with Siobhan Mitchell 728: Why Brain Fog Isn’t Random: The Hormone Shift Behind It

    “Perimenopause is more than just hot flashes and mood swings—it’s a biological inflection point.” In this solo episode, Dr. Mariza discusses the deeper, often overlooked changes happening during perimenopause and menopause. It’s more than a reproductive shift; it’s a systemic change affecting the brain, metabolism, hormones, mitochondria, gut health, and more.

    745: Why You’re Wired, Tired, and Awake at 3AM (And What to Do About It) with Dr. Scott Sherr

    “Is this brain fog… or something more?” In this solo episode, Dr. Mariza unpacks the hidden neurological and metabolic shifts happening during perimenopause and menopause—and why so many women suddenly feel mentally “off.” From brain fog and memory lapses to anxiety, overwhelm, and lower stress resilience, these symptoms are often dismissed as aging or stress. But Dr. Mariza explains that this is actually a neuroendocrine and metabolic transition driven by changing hormones, brain energy shifts, inflammation, and blood sugar instability. She breaks down what’s really happening inside the female brain during midlife, why women feel more sensitive to stress, and the most powerful lifestyle strategies to support long-term brain health, energy, mood, and resilience. If you’ve been wondering why you don’t quite feel like yourself anymore, this episode will help connect the dots—and give you a roadmap forward.

    741: Estrogen, Gut Health, Mitochondria, and Cardiovascular Health: What Changes In Perimenopause with Dr. Siobhan Mitchel

    “Why does your body stop responding… even when you’re doing everything right?” In this episode, Dr. Mariza sits down with Siobhan Mitchell to unpack the true metabolic and cellular shifts happening in perimenopause and menopause. So many women feel like their body has suddenly turned against them—weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, and rising inflammation—despite doing all the right things. But this isn’t a failure of effort. It’s a biological inflection point driven by declining estrogen and its impact on metabolism, mitochondria, and vascular health. Together, they break down how estrogen loss reshapes everything from blood sugar control to fat storage, mitochondrial function, and long-term cardiovascular risk—while also exploring the emerging role of gut health and phytoestrogens like S-equol as targeted support. If you’ve been working harder than ever with fewer results, this episode will help you understand why—and what to do instead. Be sure to tune in! SIOBHAN MITCHEL Dr. Siobhan Mitchel, PhD, is a neuroscientist and Chief Scientific Officer at MitoQ. Her work focuses on mitochondrial health, cellular energy, and the role of oxidative stress in aging—particularly in women navigating perimenopause and menopause. She is passionate about advancing research that supports women’s long-term health, metabolism, and resilience at the cellular level. IN THIS EPISODE Why your body stops responding the same way in perimenopause How estrogen loss impacts metabolism, fat storage, and blood sugar The role of mitochondria in energy, brain function, and weight changes Why visceral belly fat increases—and why it’s more dangerous The connection between gut health, estrogen metabolism, and inflammation How phytoestrogens (like S-equol) support metabolism and hormone signaling Why midlife is a metabolic and vascular inflection point—not just hormonal QUOTES “This isn’t a failure of effort—it’s a biological shift happening beneath the surface.” “When estrogen declines, you don’t just lose hormones—you lose metabolic protection.” “If you support your mitochondria, you support your energy, your metabolism, and your long-term health.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution HERE! https://peri-revolution.com/ Use code ENERGIZED and get 10% off MitoQ http://www.mitoq.com/energized MitoQ Instagram MitoQ Facebook MitoQ Youtube RELATED EPISODES  693: The Cellular Shift in Perimenopause: Mitochondria, Metabolism, and Energy 728: Why Brain Fog Isn’t Random: The Hormone Shift Behind It 717: “I Don’t Feel Like Myself Anymore”: The Mental & Emotional Reality of Perimenopause 705: The Metabolic Shift No One Warned You About in Midlife
