Did you know, 80% of perimenopause symptoms are brain-related, but it takes 4-6 doctor visits to get a diagnosis? In this episode of Extend, Dr. Mariza Snyder reveals why perimenopause has been medicine's best-kept secret and how women can reclaim their health during this critical transition.

We discuss why perimenopause is called "the silent shift," the protective power of hormone replacement therapy, and why suffering through this transition is completely optional. Dr. Mariza also shares her personal hormone protocol and why she believes women deserve the gold standard of care during this pivotal decade.
