You're exhausted, can't sleep, gaining weight despite doing "all the right things," and your doctor hands you an antidepressant or birth control pills. Sound familiar?
In this raw and revealing conversation, integrative doctor and perimenopause expert Dr. Mariza Snyder pulls back the curtain on what's really happening to your hormones during this massive transition—and why the standard medical approach is leaving millions of women struggling unnecessarily.
We're breaking down the confusion between perimenopause and menopause, revealing why your progesterone tanks first (and what that means for your sleep and mood), and exploring real solutions beyond the lazy medicine of symptom management. From the power of circadian rhythm optimization to understanding when hormone replacement makes sense (and when it doesn't), this episode gives you the knowledge to advocate for yourself and thrive.
Whether you're in the trenches of perimenopause or sitting in that confusing "waiting room" before menopause, this conversation will change how you think about your body, your symptoms, and your options. It's time to stop accepting that suffering is just part of being a woman—you deserve better.
