Episode 252: From Fertility to Breezing through Menopause and beyond with guest Dr. Anna Cabeca

It isn’t very common that we have a repeat guest on the Naturally Nourished Podcast, but Dr. Anna Cabeca blew our minds so much when we had her on back in 2019 that we just had to have her back on! Tune in to hear Ali and Becki interview Dr. Cabeca on all things fertility, from the impact of chronic stress to baseline labs to run to essential supplements for fertility support. Plus we cover birth control, menopause, the stress-hormone connection and so much more in this fun and no holding back episode!

 

In this episode, Ali and Becki pick Dr. Cabeca’s brain on all things fertility, birth control, menopause and hormone support. Learn about the important role of oxytocin in balancing the body and how cortisol can totally mess with our “love hormone”! This episode also covers thoughts on yoni steaming, how lube can impact vaginal pH, why premature ovarian failure is not a death sentence, and how menopause symptoms can be eliminated by addressing insulin resistance!
