If you’ve been feeling more stressed, more tired, and less like yourself lately, especially in your late 30s or 40s, you’re not imagining it. Hormone shifts during perimenopause can impact everything from your mood and energy to sleep, focus, and resilience to stress.
In this episode of the Be Well by Kelly Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Mariza Snyder, functional medicine practitioner, hormone expert, and bestselling author, for a grounded, practical conversation about self-care, stress management, and supporting your body through perimenopause, without losing your mind.
Dr. Mariza and I dive into how chronic stress and hormone changes intersect, and what you can do today to feel more calm, centered, and energized.
We talk about:
- Why stress hits harder during perimenopause and how cortisol and hormones are connected
- The power of getting outside daily (even briefly) to support hormones and mental health
- How to build morning and evening routines that actually stick, even with a busy schedule
- Why movement with friends can be a total game changer for motivation, mood, and consistency
- Common sleep struggles during perimenopause and realistic ways to improve rest
- How to feel more grounded and energized without overhauling your entire life
This isn’t about perfection, it’s about small, supportive rituals that compound over time.
So many women are navigating perimenopause feeling confused, dismissed, or told to “just push through.” This episode offers real education, compassion, and actionable steps so you can better understand what’s happening in your body, and how to support it with less stress and more ease.
If you’re looking for practical tools to manage stress, support hormones, sleep better, and feel more like yourself again, this conversation with Dr. Mariza Snyder is a must-listen.
