Practical Metabolic Strategies: Food & Movement

What if perimenopause wasn’t the beginning of decline, but the start of a powerful hormonal reset every woman deserves to understand?

In this powerful episode, host McCall McPherson sits down with Dr. Mariza Snyder, functional practitioner, hormone expert, and author of The Perimenopause Revolution to unpack the often-misunderstood phase of perimenopause. Drawing from personal experience and clinical insight, Dr. Snyder sheds light on the neurological, hormonal, and metabolic shifts that define this transition, while offering practical strategies for women to feel strong, supported, and empowered.

From her mother’s intense battle with perimenopause symptoms to her own experience of “waking up in dread,” Dr. Snyder shares real stories, clinical strategies, and the science behind what’s really happening in a woman’s body during this time.
