9: Maca, Julva for the Vulva, and MenuPause with Dr. Anna Cabeca

The medical community is often critical of new ideas. Yet, if we don't evolve as providers, we're doing our patients a disservice. As someone who's been at the forefront of women's health throughout her career, Dr. Anna Cabeca never let the naysayers deter her. Back in her first practice in a small town in Georgia, Dr. Anna often found herself with patients with little resources. That experience forced her to get creative in treating her patients; she also recognized the value of empowering the body to heal itself. Today I'm excited to welcome Dr. Anna, a great friend, and a true hormone expert, to share her insights and experience with you. In this episode, we talk about hormone replenishment, why she created her all-natural products, restorative health, why she is a big fan of compounding pharmacies, the benefits of bioidentical hormones, how being in ketosis helps the body, what it means to live by design, and more.   About Dr. Anna Cabeca Dr. Anna Cabeca is a medical doctor, mother, advocate for women's health, researcher, and educator.
