Energized with Dr. Mariza

From autoimmunity to brain fog to gut disorders and hormone imbalances, excess inflammation in your body could be what is making you sick.

BUT once you understand which foods may damage your health, you can really start the shift toward eating a nutrient-dense diet without a worry, healing your body with every bite.

On today’s podcast shortie, I’m going to share the TOP 10 MOST INFLAMMATORY foods for your body and why they are so bad for you.

It is a true disservice that women are taught to dread aging, and that menopause is meant to be miserable. Perimenopause and beyond can be some of the best years in your body if you commit yourself to nourishing your body and self-care. All it takes is getting clear on the intentions that you set for this next chapter of your life and owning these years on your own terms.
