[00:55] Why Dr. Anna Cabeca Wrote The Book MenuPause 

• Dr. Cabeca wanted to write the book because women are getting stuck.
• It can feel frustrating when you’re doing everything right, and you hit a plateau. 
• Hot flashes, weight gain, and energy issues are massive symptoms. 
• Menopause is natural. However, suffering is optional. 
• In a quick window of time, we can feel improvements and feel empowered. 

[07:10] The Importance of Maintaining Healthy Ovarian Function  

• We can restore and keep healthy ovarian function by looking at hormone disrupters and clearing them from our bodies.
• Plus, we should support the liver and detoxification. 
• Healthy habits will allow us to have our menstrual cycles for longer - it’s a longevity marker.
• One of the risk factors for diabetes and pre-diabetes is menopause.
• A higher risk factor is if you've had a hysterectomy.
• Thirdly, if you've had your ovaries removed, you have a significantly higher risk of diabetes.
• If you had your ovaries removed, even before 65, your risk of cardiovascular disease is almost double. 
• The association with diabetes tells how important it is to maintain healthy ovarian function. 

[09:10] Why Women Need More Ketones Between The Ages of 35 and 55 

• During ages 35 - 55, the use of glucose in a women’s brain significantly decreases. 
• Instead, you shift to using ketones for fuel in the brain.
• Dr. Cabeca emphasizes the importance of greens.
• Depending on your symptoms, you have to pause greens, or you may have to pause meat. 
• Sometimes we need to challenge our gut bacteria, and sometimes, we have to support digestive enzymes. It depends on your unique needs. 

[14:15] Why You May Want To Consider Using A Progesterone Cream 

• Dr. Anna Cabeca is a massive fan of progesterone. 
• There are progesterone receptors in our brain, bones, and breasts.
• Progesterone supports healthy breast tissue. 
• Plus, progesterone will support healthy metabolism and healthy neuroendocrine function. 
• Dr. Cabeca has used progesterone in men for anxiety and insomnia; it is a total game-changer. 
• Oral progesterone is excellent if you are working on sleep. 
• Check out Balance if you’re looking for a progesterone cream: https://drannacabeca.com/products/pura-balance-ppr-cream.

[22:40] Gratitude and Positive Thinking Can Make You Happier 

• You have to pause negative thinking. 
• Negative thoughts will predominate our lives if we allow them to. 
• Try gratitude and praying. 
• There is always something to be grateful for. 
• Gratitude is so easy to do, making it easy not to do. 
• People have 60,000 thoughts per day - most of them are negative.
• It’s time to pause and think about gratitude. 

[28:45] Using Mighty Maca To Alkalize The Body and Balance Hormones 

• Ideally, we're working on restoring our natural ovarian production or natural adrenal production.
• When Dr. Cabeca looks at fertility, she will look at a 21-day progesterone level. 
• Mighty Maca is something Dr.Cabeca recommends for adrenal support. 
• One of Dr. Cabeca’s clients used Mighty Maca to fix her progesterone levels and finally get pregnant.

[33:10] Unique Plans To Break Through Your Weight Loss Plateau 

• If you hit a plateau, it’s time to pause and try something new.
• There are five different six-day menu plans. 
• The gut mucosa regenerates every 72 hours. So a six-day plan will give you two 72 hour cycles. 
• Here are some of the menu plans:
• • Pausing nightshades
  • Plant-based menu
  • Carnivore menu
  • A cleanse with a gallbladder liver flush
  • Adding healthy carbs

AND MUCH MORE!
