“This ain't your Mama's menopause. You get to define what it looks like moving forward.” - Dr. Mariza Snyder During perimenopause, it can feel like everything is falling apart. Your body is changing, sex hormones are declining, and ovarian function shifts towards retirement mode. But the more metabolically flexible you are heading into menopause and beyond, the more control you have over how this time in your life plays out. Functional practitioner Dr. Mariza Snyder believes that by focusing on your mindset and metabolic function, the transition into menopause can become an excellent opportunity to pivot into living the life you want. In this conversation, we talk about Mariza’s daily practices for good metabolic health, how she uses essential oils in her home and with her young son, the significant impact of mindset on the perimenopause transition, how to start using essential oils in your life, and more. Mariza is a great friend of mine with a substantial depth of knowledge regarding essential oils, perimenopause, and menopause - she wrote the books on them. If you’re already using essential oils or just curious about how you could incorporate them into your life, I highly recommend Mariza’s books because she is the authority.   About Dr. Mariza Snyder Dr. Mariza Snyder is a functional practitioner, women’s hormone expert, and the author of eight books: The newest book, The Essential Oils Menopause Solution, focuses on solutions for women in perimenopause and menopause and the #1 National Bestselling book, The Essential Oils Hormone Solution, focuses on balancing women’s hormones naturally.   Highlights Mariza’s focus on helping women through the transition of perimenopause How Mariza’s mother went from the poster child of menopause symptoms to living the life she wanted in her 50s and beyond Mariza’s priorities for good metabolic health Essential oils pair beautifully with a lot of self-care practices How Mariza uses essential oils throughout her day The best way to start learning about using essential oils What to look for in high-quality essential oils Expert guidance is crucial for using essential oils therapeutically   Connect with Dr. Mariza Snyder Dr. Mariza Snyder’s Website https://drmariza.com/ Dr. Mariza Snyder’s Podcast | Essentially You https://drmariza.com/podcast/ Dr. Mariza Snyder on Instagram @DrMariza https://www.instagram.com/drmariza/ Dr. Mariza Snyder & dōTERRA Essential Oils https://drmariza.com/essential-oils/ Dr. Mariza Snyder’s Books https://drmariza.com/books/   Resources Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice https://www.drshawntassone.com/ Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible https://tassonemd.com/hormone-balance-bible/ Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormone Archetype Quiz https://tassonemd.lpages.co/hormonearchetypequiz/     Disclaimer This podcast and website represent the opinions of Dr. Shawn Tassone and his guests.
