Hot flashes, mood swings, and brain fog. Too often, these symptoms are brushed off as inevitable signs of aging. What if these are your client’s early warning system of deeper hormonal chaos already underway?
In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie sits down with hormone specialist and bestselling author Dr. Mariza Snyder to discuss the critical phase of perimenopause. Long before menopause sets in, subtle shifts in hormone function can disrupt mood, metabolism, sleep, and more.
If you’re only testing estrogen and progesterone, you’re missing the bigger picture. This conversation challenges outdated assumptions and exposes the hidden patterns that masquerade as anxiety, depression, and burnout, so you can catch the real root cause before it’s too late.
