1246. What Your Cycle Is Trying to Tell You: Periods, Hormones & Perimenopause  
Podcast: Heal Squad x Maria Menounos
Published On: Thu Mar 19 2026
Description: Hey Heal Squad! It’s Throwback Thursday and we’re bringing back a conversation with hormone expert Alisa Vitti that so many of you still ask about, especially when it comes to perimenopause, menopause, and feeling “off” in your body. Maria and Alisa get into what’s really happening with your hormones during these phases (from energy dips and mood swings to brain fog, weight changes, and sleep issues) and why so many women are told it’s “just part of aging” when it doesn’t have to be. Alisa also breaks down how your cycle (and the loss of it) impacts how you should be eating, working out, and structuring your day, and why doing the same routine every day can actually work against you. Plus, simple shifts to start supporting your body in a way that actually makes you feel better. It’s a really eye-opening conversation that will help you understand your body on a much deeper level!
