What if your hormones weren’t the problem, but the result of a deeper imbalance?

In this episode, we chat with hormone expert and triple board-certified OB-GYN Dr. Anna Cabeca, author of The Hormone Fix. Together, we explore how burnout, grief, and everyday stressors silently impact our hormones and why oxytocin, connection, and joy may be the missing piece.

Dr. Anna shares her personal journey through infertility, early menopause, and deep personal loss—and how she rebuilt her health from the inside out. This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing isn’t just about lab tests and supplements. It’s about play, presence, and honoring your body’s natural rhythms.

You’ll learn:

• Why stress and cortisol are at the root of so many hormone symptoms

• The connection between oxytocin, joy, and hormonal balance

• How trauma, loss, and grief can change your physiology—and how to heal

• Why your urine pH might be the easiest health tool you’re not using

• Simple daily shifts that create more energy, ease, and hormonal harmony
