Episode 443: MENUPAUSE with Dr. Anna Cabeca Part Two

Are you looking for a way to reset your body, balance your hormone and rebuild your gut? Then MenuPause is the answer to your search. The book has five unique symptom-based six days eating plans, over 125 recipes, shopping lists, strategies, and menopause solutions to help you identify what works for you and ‘pause’ exacerbating ingredients depending on your health goal and symptoms. MenuPause meal plans are drawn from the healthy cuisines from different countries where women's health is most optimal to help you get the best outcome.

In today's episode, I chatted with my friend Dr. Anna Cabeca for the second time in the show about her new book MenuPause coming out this week!. She is a certified specialist in functional medicine, the founder of Girlfriend Doctors Club, and the author of The Hormone Fix, The Keto-Green 16, and MenuPause. Dr. Anna has worked with thousands of women one-on-one to help them improve their health and manage their hormones. She is committed to supporting women so that they can thrive physically, emotionally, sexually, and even spiritually as they go through the natural and inevitable life shift of menopause.

During the episode, Dr. Anna shares the different food plans and menus in MenuPause to help you create a sustainable food plan. She also provides insights on when to change your food plan, eat more carbs, be more carnivore-ish, and how to fix your hormones as an athlete to improve your health and performance.
