Energized with Dr. Mariza Dr. Mariza Snyder

When I recently surveyed several thousand women in perimenopause about their most disruptive symptoms, what stood out the most was the reported mood issues. 

In perimenopause, your brain changes, causing a lack of stress resilience, lack of focus, and a lack of mental energy. 

With all that’s on our plates in this stage of life– between careers, parenting, our marriages, and keeping up with our health– declining mental energy is NOT what we need. 

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, irritated, or more triggered along with
mood changes, it could be due to your changing hormones.

So how do you combat these symptoms to feel better… physically AND emotionally? 

In this podcast, I’m sharing ALL my tips to help you find peace and harmony because you deserve it.

Check out this episode to discover exactly what you need to combat stress and mood swings to feel your best!
