Summary
Tenderoni Hotline #12: Hello, my love, and welcome back to the Tenderoni Hotline. Today’s episode is a true gift, a clarifying, empowering, and deeply nerdy deep dive into all things perimenopause, hormones, and how to actually get the support you deserve.
I’m joined by my dear friend and longtime women’s health advocate, Mariza Snyder, for a conversation that every midlife woman (and every clinician who serves them) needs to hear. Mariza is an author and speaker with over 17 years of experience, and the brilliant mind behind the Energized podcast.
Together, we break down the science behind perimenopause, bust some harmful myths, and get into the nitty-gritty about progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, HRT, and beyond. We also talk about how to advocate for yourself at the doctor’s office, why lab work isn’t everything, and how to navigate this hormonal transition with confidence, clarity, and compassion.
Mariza shares from both her clinical expertise and personal story, and offers powerful tools to help you feel more like yourself again, rested, resourced, and rooted in your truth.
This episode is rich with real talk, science-backed wisdom, and loving reminders that your symptoms are real and your care should match your lived experience. Whether you’re in your mid-30s or well into your 50s, this one is essential listening.
So get cozy, grab your journal, and let’s get nerdy in the best way.

| 0:00.0 | This is feminist wellness, and I'm your host, nurse practitioner, somatics, and nervous system nerd, and life coach, Bea Victoria Albina. |
| 0:18.3 | I'll show you how to get unstuck, drop the anxiety, perfectionism, |
| 0:21.7 | and codependency so you can live from your beautiful heart. Welcome, my love. Let's get started. |
| 0:32.1 | Hello, hello, my love. I hope this finds you doing so well. This week, I have a delightful surprise for you. We are joined by Marisa Snyder, who is a nerd about women's health. She recently wrote a book all about perimenopause. It's called The Perimenopause Revolution. It came out with Hayhouse very recently, and it is an outstanding resource for folks who are ready to take charge of their health and embrace perimenopause with resilience and confidence. Those are her words. They're really good words. She's fantastic. I have known her for, gosh, almost a decade. And I just love the work that she does in the world. And so I am thrilled to share her with you. I hope you enjoy this conversation. You can check out her podcast, energized and her social media, which is super duper great. She's very, very nerdy about women's health. In this conversation, |
| 1:28.7 | we geek out about hormone replacement therapy largely because there's so much misunderstanding |
| 1:34.8 | and so much lousy old science bouncing around out there on those interwebs. And in the book, |
| 1:41.4 | she dives deep into a more holistic approach that is definitely includes HRT and talks about pros and cons and benefits and what to ask for. |
| 1:49.7 | Well, there you go. |
| 1:51.0 | Also talks about nutrition, about movement, about sleep, about psychosocial wellness, about all of the things that make for a happy, healthy life at all ages, at any ages, but especially |
| 2:04.8 | at midlife for humans going through perimenopause. So I am absolutely thrilled to share |
| 2:10.2 | this conversation with you. Maritz is just so cool and just such a nerd, which of course is our |
| 2:16.6 | highest compliment around here. |
| 2:17.9 | So take it away us. |
| 2:20.4 | Enjoy. |
| 2:22.0 | Oh, thank you so much for joining us. |
| 2:25.7 | Oh, my goodness. |
| 2:26.4 | I feel so honored because this is such a big deal. |
| 2:31.0 | I know that I just feel so so grateful that you're having me on the show, |
| 2:35.8 | the show that is just so powerful. And I just, yeah, it means the world to me. |
| 2:42.4 | It means so much to me that you're here. And I'm just so amazed by you, nine books. You've |
| 2:47.9 | published nine books. You've probably written 473 in your head. You'd be amazed. Yeah. |
| 2:55.1 | I mean, it's so, yeah, and what a beautiful journey. You know, and I can tell you a little bit about |
