Balancing Hormones in Every Season, with “the Girlfriend Doctor”, Anna Cabeca

What you need to know and where you can find it!

There is more and more information coming out related to women’s health (aren’t you glad!?) but it’s easy to get overwhelmed. There are a lot of voices out there, and it’s hard to know who to trust. Today’s guest is here to help!

Dr. Anna Cabeca, the “Girlfriend Doctor” is a triple-board certified Ob/gynecologist who has an amazing story of personal trauma leading to her own early-onset menopause…then a journey around the world where she found a more holistic way to approach (women’s) health and healing.  Dr. Anna is passionate about educating women, young and old, in what they need to know to navigate hormonal changes in the best way possible.

In this conversation we cover a lot! – Dr. Anna believes it is never too early to balance hormones (so girl-moms, tune in!) She talks about the role of fasting and a “keto-greens” diet in hormonal balance. She also has a lot to say about blood work, urine PH, and the best way to seek help for hormonal challenges!  As she says, “menopause is mandatory, suffering is optional.”

Dr. Anna offers a lot of information here so if you’re a note taker, get ready. I have links to her website where you can find a lot more information below!
