Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasnow. Today I'm joined by Dr. Marisa Snyder.

Dr. Marisa is a best-selling author, women's health expert, and a leading

voice in the movement to bring perimenopause out of the shadows and into the center of the public

conversation. Her latest book, The Perimenopause Revolution, is both a practical guide and a cultural

manifesto offering women clarity, strategies, and hope during one of the most misunderstood phases of life.

In this episode, we dive deep into the biology and lived experience of perimenopause,

exploring how hormones like estrogen and progesterone influence mood, sleep, weight, and cognition.

Dr. Marisa explains why symptoms, such as irritability, brain fog, and insulin

resistance are not just random nuisances, but reflections of underlying metabolic and hormonal

shifts. She shares simple but powerful tools like resistance training, blood sugar monitoring,

dietary strategies, and stress regulation that can help women feel more energized, resilient,

and alive. We also explore the social and emotional side of this transition, including how

partners, yes, men like us, can show up with empathy, knowledge, and support, and why midlife

can also be a season of liberation, a time when many women actually step

into an unapologetic authenticity and a newfound power. Okay, as you'll hear, this conversation

isn't just about hormones. It's about reclaiming vitality, rewriting cultural narratives,

and creating a roadmap for thriving through life's second puberty.

Okay, without further delay, here's my conversation with Dr. Marisa Snyder.

All right, Marisa, welcome to the commune podcast.

My God, what a treat.

What a treat.

Thanks so much for having me, Jeff.
