I am thrilled to have Dr. Liz Lister, an OB/GYN, best-selling author, and renowned speaker, joining us. Dr. Liz, who runs a private practice in the San Francisco Bay area, specializes in perimenopause and menopause, helping women and men in midlife lose weight, boost energy, and reclaim their vitality.

 

Dr. Liz is not just a medical expert but also a living example of vitality—celebrating her 50th birthday by climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro! With a background from Cornell University, UC Irvine, and UCLA, Dr. Liz combines extensive medical knowledge with a passion for empowering women through menopause.

 

In today’s episode, we’ll dive into:
