Memorable Quotes:

"Your body is changing without permission. And it's a major recalibration, not only for the brain but for a lot of systems of the body. And so, I've given myself so much extra grace. And more importantly, I've given myself permission to be okay with reprioritizing and recalibrating how I live my life." [00:12:09] – Dr. Mariza Snyder

"Menopause is inevitable, but suffering is optional. And I do believe that with perimenopause, it's very much the same thing. Like we get to choose how we want to feel. And if we're not feeling okay in our body, if we're not feeling like ourselves, we get to pivot." [00:14:39] – Dr. Mariza Snyder
