Energized with Dr. Mariza

Feeling stuck in perimenopause? 

Navigating perimenopause can feel overwhelming, especially when women’s health is so often treated like men’s. 

But it’s time to change that! 

We’re so used to these deep-seated societal beliefs about women in midlife– putting us at a disadvantage when it comes to whole body health and disease prevention, especially as we age.

So if you’re struggling to get answers in perimenopause from your doctors, I’m here to connect the dots and empower you with knowledge. 

In this episode, we break down women’s healthcare, common perimenopause symptoms, and how to recognize the early signs of hormonal shifts. Plus, I’m sharing a sneak peek into my upcoming book, The Perimenopause Revolution, coming this fall!

Tune in here to get the perimenopause answers you’ve been looking for.

QUOTES

“I believe it's an average of 6 to 7 doctor visits before they get any help at all or that they are recognized as being in perimenopause at all.”

“Many women are plagued with confusion over issues like these, and they're having a difficult time connecting the dots because they're being told otherwise. Yet, when it comes to perimenopause, in order to understand what's not normal, you must first know your own baseline.”

That’s why I’m here to set the record straight and answer every question you have so you can feel your most confident self in midlife and beyond.

QUOTES
“Hands down, one of the biggest, most overlooked areas of women's health is the transition to menopause, known as perimenopause. And until we normalize the systemic changes that occur in every organ system in the body, we won't be able to fully optimize women's health.”

“With this book, I want to validate your experience and respond to your most frequently asked questions with straightforward science-backed solutions that work. I also want to flip the script on fear.”

“I have left no stone unturned. I want you to know that you're going to have everything you need, a full blueprint and roadmap to thrive.”

The number one reason women come to me for guidance during the perimenopause transition is brain-related. 

So in this episode, we dive into why perimenopause directly impacts your mental and emotional health. Many women in midlife experience emotionally connected symptoms like rage, irritability, low stress tolerance, mood swings, depression, and anxiety. 

That’s because perimenopause isn’t just a reproductive transition — it’s a neuroendocrine one, meaning your brain and hormones are deeply intertwined. 

As hormones fluctuate wildly, it’s no wonder you may feel like you don’t even recognize yourself anymore. 

But you’re not alone — millions of women are feeling the same!  Tune in here and learn what’s really going on in your brain during this transition.

IN THIS EPISODE

QUOTES

“Eight of the 10 most common symptoms during this [perimenopause] transition are going to be neurological.”

“It can feel so scary to experience these symptoms without understanding why they're happening, and that's why we need to address why women aren't feeling like themselves in perimenopause. I’ve said it before, and I will say it again– perimenopause deserves our undivided attention. And this is why I wrote the Perimenopause Revolution.”

“Depending on how we take care of our bodies during perimenopause, it can really determine how our bodies thrive. In menopause and beyond.”

Have you heard all the hype around Urolithin A? 

In this episode, I sit down with expert integrative and functional nutritionist, Jennifer Scheinman, to dive into one of the most exciting breakthroughs in women’s health and longevity—Urolithin A. 

This little-known yet well-researched natural molecule has been shown in studies to significantly improve muscle strength and function, helping combat the age-related muscle decline so many of us experience in midlife. 

We’ll unpack how Urolithin A supports mitochondrial health—the very core of our energy production—so you can feel more vibrant and strong at every stage. 

Plus, Jennifer shares how topical Urolithin A can even target the internal and external signs of skin aging, giving your skin and cells a rejuvenating boost. 

Ready to feel vibrant, strong, and glow from the inside out? Tune in here to feel truly energized from the cellular level up!

QUOTES

“Other things we saw in that study were improvements in things like inflammatory markers, which we know chronic inflammation is a huge issue as we start to get older. We saw specifically C-reactive protein was lowered, and we saw other markers of muscle health that, while they didn't make statistical significance, they were trending that way.”

“It stays very potent and very localized– a benefit to the skin. So you're having that same cellular turnover of the mitochondria, basically making the mitochondria in your skin act in a more youthful way.”

“Even just after 2 weeks, we start to see improvements that are visibly noticeable. And then when we take that out to 8 weeks, it's statistically significant improvements in wrinkle reduction and in wrinkle depth. So, [it’s] really powerful but gentle.”

If you’ve ever felt like you’re riding a menstrual cycle roller coaster of cravings, exhaustion, and mood swings– this conversation is for you. 

In this episode, I’m joined by leading researcher and women’s hormone expert Dr. Sarah E. Hill to unpack what’s really going on in your body—and your brain—during your cycle. 

Dr. Hill breaks down how shifting levels of progesterone and estrogen in the second half of your cycle can impact everything from your sleep and appetite to your mood and libido. 

We also talk about how this becomes even more complex—and important to understand—during perimenopause, when hormone patterns start to change unpredictably. 

You’ll learn why traditional health advice often fails women during this phase of life, and what to do instead to actually support your body. 

It’s time to rethink your period, reclaim your energy, and finally feel in sync with your hormones!

Dr. Sarah E. Hill is a researcher and professor at TCU, lead science advisor for 28, and the author of The Period Brain and This Is Your Brain on Birth Control. Sarah’s work has resulted in more than 80 research publications, with features in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Scientific American, The Economist, and on shows like Good Morning and Today. Sarah is a well-known speaker, consultant, and media expert in women’s health, hormones, and sexual psychology.

QUOTES

“The week– or for some women, it's even the full two weeks– of the luteal phase can be a really challenging time emotionally as their body is struggling to keep up with those wild swings and hormones. But then also as you go into perimenopause, you're going through a period of intense hormonal change, and unlike what goes on across a regular cycle, it's unpredictable.”

“Women are twice as likely as men to have mental health-related illnesses. They're more than twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with anxiety. They're more likely to experience burnout in the workplace. I mean, the list goes on, and it's because there's way too much that's expected of us. And one thing that women don't recognize about it is that in addition to this being bad for things like cardiovascular health… it can also prevent you from even producing sex hormones.”

“A big part of The Period Brain is first, just really giving women a roadmap to the second half of their cycle, since it's not something that's really talked about.”

From the wide range of symptoms to the long-term impact on your health, you’ll learn why this transition is not the beginning of the end, but the beginning of a more connected, vital, and powerful you.

QUOTES

“Symptoms and changes in the body are a result of fluctuating and declining hormones that have far-reaching effects on many important systems– the brain, heart, metabolism, bones, and muscles, to name a few.” 

“My goal with this book is to help women gain a greater understanding of the impact of hormone shifts, as well as changes in metabolism and blood sugar on every aspect of their health. That way, they can target these areas and confidently approach the second half of life feeling strong, resilient, and energized.”

“Perimenopause forces us to confront challenges in a whole new way because what worked before no longer does, and ultimately, I think that's a good thing because we learn to prioritize what really matters and let go of what doesn't serve us anymore.”

What do you really want the second half of your life to look like? 

Being a doormat for others, then resenting it? Saying yes, when you really mean no? Doing more tasks or more work, taking responsibility for everything, and feeling overwhelmed in your life? 

This can be how so many of us in midlife feel, but I’m here to tell you there IS another way. 

In this episode, I sit down with expert Beatriz Albina to talk about a challenge so many women face but can’t always name—patterns of overgiving, perfectionism, and the ultimate people-pleasing trap. 

Beatriz introduces the concept of emotional outsourcing and how it quietly drives these behaviors, leaving us feeling stuck and drained. 

Together, we discuss how reframing your mindset is a powerful tool for reclaiming your emotional well-being. Plus, Beatriz gives us a sneak peek into her brand-new book, End Emotional Outsourcing—a guide to finding freedom, balance, and true self-connection.

Tune in here to reignite joy in your life, and find the inner peace you’ve been craving for years!

QUOTES

“This is what happens when we get activated or triggered in our nervous system. When we start being mean to ourselves, when we ignore our impulses, when we project, when we take things personally, when we get offended, all these things– our nervous system is in a different time and place.” 

“That’s the self-worth work. Saying, ‘I trust myself, I believe in myself, and so I know that this isn't a problem.’ And that's that. Not allowing any other thoughts to enter your beautiful mind space, your world, your body. It's really vital work.” 

“What our children and our partners, and our friends and our communities and ourselves want and need from us the most, most, most, is presence. Intunement and presence.”

“I can never get a good workout in… I don’t have the time.” 

I hear it all the time, especially from busy women. But get ready to learn the best way NEVER to say that statement again! 

In this episode, I sit down with Ulrich Dempfle, the CEO of CAROL, to talk about why carving out even a few minutes for exercise in midlife can be a total game-changer. 

Ulrich explains that the right movement is one of the most powerful things you can do to boost health span, energy, and quality sleep. 

So we dive into the science of VO₂ max and mitochondrial function (which start to decline in our 30s), and how efficient workouts can slow that process dramatically. 

For busy women in midlife, heart health and metabolic health are front and center, and CAROL’s unique approach makes it possible to train smarter, not longer, for ultimate health. 

Tune in here to learn all about CAROL, and discover how quick, intentional exercise can fit seamlessly into your hectic life WITHOUT sacrificing results!

QUOTES

“Unfortunately, with aging, we all lose about 10% of our VO2 max per decade. So it's a progressive thing. It starts from around 30, and if you don't do something about it, you will lose fitness progressively throughout your life.”

“Based on the feedback we're receiving, [we] make it as simple as possible and take as many barriers away to actually stick to a workout and reap the benefits that are available from this ultra short, super efficient workout.”
