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.
