    214: Eating Your Way Through Menopause to Not Gain Weight!

    Today my friend and repeat guest, Dr. Anna Cabeca, is on the show discussing how to eat during menopause! One of the biggest struggles for women is weight gain. Today we discuss the different plans that women can rotate through. You will also learn when to eat and what time to stop eating for optimal results. Check out her new book, Menupause: Five Unique Eating Plans to Break Through Your Weight Loss Plateau and Improve Mood, Sleep, and Hot Flashes.   More about Dr. Anna Cebeca   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. She has special certifications in functional medicine, sexual health, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.   For the past 20 years, she’s served 10,000+ women in her private practice— and millions more through her books, online videos and articles.    When her own health took a troubling turn during menopause, she sought out the wisdom of healers around the world. She learned that modern medicine and time-tested natural remedies are not at odds. Working together, they create indisputable results and true well being. Using delicious, healing foods and simple lifestyle changes, Dr. Anna reclaimed her health and life.   Fueled by her belief that every woman deserves to be empowered and in control of their health and life, she developed the Keto-Green lifestyle, which has helped thousands of women opt out of menopause misery and experience a joyful transition to the next stage of their lives. With her methods, you, too, can breeze through menopause into your “second spring”, feeling the best you ever have.   links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drannacabeca/ https://www.facebook.com/thegirlfrienddoctor/ https://drannacabeca.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmWLoqXyvtSyylB7bjCipnA https://www.instagram.com/thegirlfrienddoctor/ https://twitter.com/annacabeca?lang=en   Book Bonuses:  https://book.menupausebook.com/get-menopause-book-organic   Want to connect with Margaret?   Follow and connect with Margaret on Instagram  Learn more on her Website Take a walk with Margaret as she goes deeper into her personal journey when she was first diagnosed with multi-organ involvement lupus nephritis in her book - From Flare to Fabulous: 25 Things You Must Do To Avoid Your Next Lupus Flare   Now is your time to start feeling better & finally living the life you have always wanted!
