Dr Mariza Snyder is a functional practitioner, women’s hormone expert, author of multiple best-selling books and host of the hugely successful ‘Essentially You’ podcast

In this episode, she explains the vital role essential oils can play in helping women successfully navigate the changing hormones of perimenopause and menopause and discusses the importance of being metabolically flexible

When you have an understanding of  the transition through perimenopause and menopause you can be more intentional and create a better plan for proactively moving forward prioritising what really makes a difference

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Phase one of the perimenopause spectrum starts in your mid to late thirties as progesterone begins to drop
• Phase two is around your mid-forties when you can experience shortened cycles and some anovulatory cycles where you are not ovulating at all
• Your late forties can be a very tumultuous and chaotic time with mood swings and night sweats
• Menopause is defined as 12 months  without a cycle and when you move into menopause many of the symptoms may decline
• Oestrogen is a major insulin protector when you lose oestrogen you become less insulin sensitive and more insulin resistant
• Being metabolically flexible means, you can leverage all of your energy all of the time and is especially important as you lose the protection of progesterone and oestrogen
• The more you understand the transition the better the plan you can have to proactively move forward
• Peppermint and citrus will give an energy boost to both mind and body, citrus has limonene that activates the lymphatic system and peppermint increases energy to the brain
• Floral essential oils have properties that calm the mind and relax the system creating a feeling of bliss
• For sleep and to calm the internal chatter use a combination of lavender and vetiver
• You need to take a multi-faceted approach and prioritise what you are doing daily to love your body

 

BEST MOMENTS
