The Truth About Perimenopause and Metabolic Health with Dr. Mariza Snyder
In this episode, I sit down with my friend and powerhouse advocate for women’s health, Dr. Mariza Snyder, to talk about her latest book, The Perimenopause Revolution, and more. Dr. Mariza and I dive into the chaos, confusion, and opportunity that midlife brings—and why perimenopause is so much more than “just aging.” Together, we explore how to rebuild energy, protect your metabolism, and thrive through hormonal transitions using science-backed strategies that truly work.
Dr. Mariza Snyder is a bestselling author and women’s health expert who’s written nine books on hormones, metabolism, and essential oils. She’s also the host of the top-rated Energized with Dr. Mariza podcast and has become a trusted voice helping millions of women reclaim their vitality through practical, research-based guidance.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
(03:32) Why perimenopause starts long before symptoms “officially” show up—and how to spot the early warning signs.
(05:47) Why it’s never too late to build muscle, protect your bones, and reverse insulin resistance.
(09:17) How to tell the difference between stress, thyroid issues, and perimenopause symptoms.
(11:32) Which key lab markers reveal early hormonal and metabolic changes.
(13:22) The truth about hormones, metabolism, and HRT.
(18:48) How to future-proof your metabolism with protein-first meals and consistent movement.
(23:06) What “exercise snacks” are—and how they can extend your lifespan.
(33:06) Dr. Mariza’s top non-negotiable perimenopause hacks for more energy, better sleep, and deeper connection.
