Sassy Lissa! ,

Menopausal game changer

I have listened to Dr.Mariza since Covid lockdown, and she saved my menopausal life! Now, at the age of 58, after shedding 10+ pounds of perimenopausal gain, I have reenergized my body, mind, and life! I am still on the journey, but I have taken numerous moments of learning from these great podcasts and incorporated them into my daily routine and shared this podcast with several others. Moreover, I have incorporated several of her supplements and supplement education into my own tool kit. I am a group fitness and Yoga instructor with a passion for nutrition and overall wellness. My audience is filled with perimenopausal and menopausal women on similar journeys. Dr. Mariza, your positive influence, expertise, connections with other experts and valuable resources, and shared vulnerability are gifts to the women you serve! you are in my top 10 blessings of the decade :-) Many thanks. XOXO, Sassy Lissa from Green Bay, WI

Trauma and Cortisol

I found your podcast by searching for the word Cortisol. This is the first time I’ve listened to you and while I found your information helpful it did seem more like a sales pitch for your products versus offering important information then info about the products. I almost stopped listening but I’m glad I didn’t. I have a high cortisol level and am easily triggered by news stories, discussions and more. Just to give you a brief background; I was kidnapped at age 9, lived with an abusive mother, and the worst of all, my brother was killed in a school shooting. He was a professor and an angel. I’m telling you this because you never know who is listening to you and how your knowledge may validate their health issues while also helping them rewire their brains. I’ve never heard the term “reactive cortisol” before and you helped me to understand why I get so easily triggered and also, this is weird, why that triggered feeling can be a mental comfort. I can’t explain it other than perhaps it’s happened for so long that I think it’s normal.

Thank you for reading!
