Ep 69 - Empowered Choices: Navigating Perimenopause and Menopause with Dr. Liz Lyster

I am thrilled to have Dr. Liz Lister, an OB/GYN, best-selling author, and renowned speaker, joining us. Dr. Liz, who runs a private practice in the San Francisco Bay area, specializes in perimenopause and menopause, helping women and men in midlife lose weight, boost energy, and reclaim their vitality.

Dr. Liz is not just a medical expert but also a living example of vitality—celebrating her 50th birthday by climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro! With a background from Cornell University, UC Irvine, and UCLA, Dr. Liz combines extensive medical knowledge with a passion for empowering women through menopause.

In today's episode, we'll dive into:

· The main physical and emotional challenges of perimenopause and menopause.

· The gaps in Western medicine's approach to these stages, especially for women with diabetes.

· The role of community in easing menopausal transitions.

· Common misconceptions about menopause and how to distinguish symptoms from other health issues.

· The impact of lifestyle changes and personalized wellness strategies.

· Finding supportive healthcare providers and managing feelings of isolation or anxiety.

We'll also discuss hormone restoration—what it involves, who benefits from it, and who should avoid it. Plus, Dr. Liz will share insights on how The Miracle of Menopause network supports its members and some inspiring success stories.

Tune in to learn more about how to navigate this life stage with confidence and support.
