84. Dr. Anna Cabeca: Mastering Perimenopause - Hormones, Lifestyle, and Natural Remedies for Balance

The Well Drop: Midlife Wellness for Women Over 40

Are you feeling overwhelmed by unexplained changes in your body and mood as you approach midlife? In this latest episode of The Well Drop podcast, I sit down with Dr. Anna Cabeca, a women's health expert, to demystify perimenopause.

We dive into the fact that the symptoms of perimenopause - from mood swings to weight gain - are not just something to "power through," but signals that our bodies need attention and care. We also discuss practical strategies for managing perimenopausal symptoms, the importance of checking your urine pH, and why prioritizing self-care isn't selfish - it's essential for your whole family's well-being.

Dr. Anna Cabeca is a renowned women's health expert who has served over 10,000 women in her private practice and millions more through her books, online content, and media appearances over the past 20+ years. She is triple board certified and holds special certifications in Functional medicine, Sexual health, and Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Cabeca is the author of three successful books: the USA Today bestseller "The Hormone Fix," "Keto-Green 16," and "MenuPause," all of which focus on empowering women to take charge of their health, particularly during menopause.
