Summary

Perimenopause is really like your “second puberty,”-- and it sets the course for the rest of your life. So in this episode, I’m giving you a special sneak peek into my brand-new book, The Perimenopause Revolution! We’ll dive into what perimenopause really is, why it matters, and how understanding hormonal and metabolic changes can transform the way you navigate this stage of life. Even though half the world’s population will go through it, perimenopause is still clouded with confusion—so I’m here to clear it all up. 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. Tune in here and get inspired to put your best foot forward in this exciting new chapter of your life! IN THIS EPISODE What to expect in my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution What’s driving the confusion around perimenopause? Understanding the system-wide changes during perimenopause Recognizing feelings and emotions common in perimenopause How to know when you’re in perimenopause Common signs and symptoms of perimenopause How perimenopause can impact all aspects of your life 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.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Join The Perimenopause Solution LIVE event https://drmariza.com/thrive RELATED EPISODES #648: This Changes Everything: The Perimenopause Revolution Every Woman Needs Now #624: What We Got Very Wrong About Perimenopause #572: How to Know You are in Perimenopause Including the 40+ Symptoms Associated with Declining Hormones #539: Everything You Need to Know About Navigating Hormone Changes in Perimenopause
