In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Anna Cabeca, affectionately known as "The Girlfriend Doctor," to explore the natural journey of menopause and how suffering during this phase is entirely optional. She delves into her holistic approach to managing hormones, as well as steps to prepare the female body for pregnancy. She highlights her top lab tests for hormones, the impact of environmental toxins, as well as some insights from her "Sexual CPR" course. We close out with a beautiful conversation about the role of oxytocin, often referred to as the "love hormone." This episode is packed with valuable insights for women at any stage of life, offering practical advice on how to navigate hormonal changes with grace and confidence.

Anna Cabeca, DO, OBGYN, FACOG, is best selling author of The Hormone Fix and Keto-Green 16 and MenuPause. Dr. Anna is triple-board certified and a fellow of gynecology and obstetrics, integrative medicine, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine. She holds special certifications in functional medicine, sexual health, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. She lectures frequently on those topics and shares the secret behind the ebb and flow of intimacy as she demystifies the fascinating hormonal changes over time. She will help you discover how the “love hormone”, Oxytocin can breathe life into your relationship, and how Cortisol can take it away - and how the delicate balancing act of those hormones can reignite your libido and support a healthy relationship, most importantly the one you have with yourself. She is sassy, blunt, speaks from the heart and has a wonderful sense of humor, and this is why we call her The Girlfriend Doctor, because everyone needs a friend like her! She has personally developed natural products to help women balance hormones and thrive through menopause including the highly acclaimed Julva® cream for the vulva and MightyMaca® Plus, a powerful superfood blend. She lives in Dallas with her daughters, horses and dogs.
