Practical Tools to Improve Stress Resilience

What if your fatigue, mood swings, or stubborn belly fat aren’t “just hormones,” but signs your metabolism needs extra love?

In this episode of Hello Hormones, I sit down with my brilliant friend Dr. Mariza to talk about what she calls Perimenopause in the Wild, the real, unfiltered midlife transition every woman deserves to understand. We break down how estrogen loss impacts muscle, metabolism, and mood, why two days of lifting + daily movement make all the difference, and how stress, doom-scrolling, and skipped sleep routines quietly sabotage your energy and hormones.

We also dig into her favorite lab clues, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and the triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, and why community and connection matter just as much as supplements or workouts.

Dr. Mariza Snyder is a women’s health educator, podcast host of Energize with Dr. Mariza, and author of The Perimenopause Revolution, where she lays out research-backed, doable frameworks for midlife metabolism, stress resilience, and joyful living.
