About this episode

Dr. Mary Grimberg discusses navigating perimenopause through a whole-body lens and the importance of understanding bodily signals.

In this episode, we speak with pelvic floor and orthopedic physical therapist Mary Grinberg about navigating perimenopause through a whole-body lens. Mary shares how her personal health journey—including a cancer diagnosis in her early 30s—led her to rethink conventional approaches and explore deeper connections between the nervous system, fascia, and emotional health. Together, they discuss why symptoms like anxiety, pain, and sleep disruption are often misunderstood, and how women can regain control by learning to listen to their bodies rather than override them. Key Takeaways: Perimenopause is not a disease—it’s a natural transition that can be supported, not suppressed. Hormone therapy is one tool, but lasting relief requires addressing the nervous system and whole-body health. Fascia, lymph flow, and nervous system regulation play a major role in pain, inflammation, and hormonal symptoms. Many symptoms (pain, anxiety, fatigue) are signals—not problems to silence. Building body awareness and resilience is key to navigating midlife changes with more ease. Where to find Dr. Mary Grimberg: Website: https://resilient-rx.com/ Instagram ResilientRX…
