In this episode of the Evolving Wellness Podcast, I chat with Dr. Anna Kabeca, the girlfriend doctor, about the transformative process of aging and the importance of having a positive attitude towards it. As I turned 44, I realized that embracing this journey and focusing on strength, flexibility, energy, and happiness is vital. Dr. Anna shares her wisdom on women's health, especially during perimenopause and menopause, and how we can better understand what our bodies are telling us during these times of transformation.Together, we explore the implications of extreme diets for women's health, and the importance of having balanced health goals.
We discuss the idea of "lean and mean versus fat and happy" and how to find a balance that allows for both physical and emotional wellbeing. We emphasize the need to focus on overall wellness instead of solely weight loss, whether we're 25 or 65, to feel our best.Additionally, we delve into postpartum nutrition and health, emphasizing the need for a balanced omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio, healthy foods, and clean omega-3 supplements.
We touch on the importance of a regular sleep routine, breastfeeding's role in weight management, and the potential risks of hormone replacement therapies. Don't miss this enlightening and valuable conversation, perfect for those in perimenopause, menopause, or simply looking to change their mindset around aging.Dr. Anna Cabeca, DO, OBGYN, FACOG, is triple-board certified and a fellow of gynecology and obstetrics, integrative medicine, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine.
