In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, Kelly Casperson and Dr. Mariza Snyder discuss the transformative journey of women navigating perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Mariza shares her personal experiences with chronic migraines and how they led her to become a functional medicine practitioner focused on women's health. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding hormonal changes, the impact of chronic stress, and the necessity of movement and nutrition in reclaiming health. Dr. Mariza encourages women to envision their future selves and take ownership of their health journeys, while also addressing the societal pressures that contribute to stress and unhealthy habits.
Takeaways
Dr. Mariza's journey from chiropractic to functional medicine was driven by her own health struggles.
Chronic migraines often affect women in perimenopause due to hormonal changes.
Empowering women through health can create a multiplier effect in communities.
Movement is essential for recovery and overall well-being.

Adrenal fatigue is not a recognized medical diagnosis, but stress impacts health significantly.
Nutrition plays a crucial role in managing health, especially regarding processed sugars.
