Thriving Through Perimenopause: Insights with Dr. Mariza Snyder

Well Beyond 40

"At 41, I had a baby during perimenopause—and that was just the beginning. My journey is proof that this phase of life can come with unexpected challenges, but it can also be empowering when you learn how to manage it." – Dr. Mariza Synder

Perimenopause isn’t just about night sweats and hot flashes—it can feel like being hit by a Mack truck, especially when you throw in unexpected hurdles like a traumatic brain injury. In this episode, Dr. Mariza Snyder opens up about her personal struggles with perimenopause, revealing how she went from thinking she had it all figured out to being blindsided by hormone shifts that rocked her mental energy, mood, and overall well-being. Her story is one of resilience, self-care, and persistence—a message that will resonate deeply with women navigating similar challenges in their 40s and beyond.

Mariza shares the hidden connections between hormonal shifts and symptoms like brain fog, irritability, and mental exhaustion, and offers real, actionable strategies for reclaiming your energy and mental clarity. From adjusting your exercise routine to protect her brain health to fine-tuning her hormone therapy, Mariza's approach is grounded in both personal experience and her expertise as a functional practitioner.

If you’re dealing with the first whispers of perimenopause or feeling overwhelmed by its unpredictability, Mariza’s story will leave you feeling empowered, not defeated. Her practical advice on everything from hormone therapy to metabolic health is a must-hear for any woman looking to thrive—not just survive—during this transitional phase.

Tune in to hear how you can take control of your health, sharpen your mental focus, and even use these hormonal shifts as an opportunity for a major life upgrade. Ready to feel better, think clearer, and live fuller? Don’t miss this conversation!
