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
‘Dialling in your metabolic flexibility is so critical’
‘We all deserve quick wins and moments of self-care and love and essential oils can provide this’
‘Essential oils are phenomenal in shifting your mood’
