    Grounding Yourself During Times of Struggle With Ash Johns

    Welcome to Episode 9 of Season 8 of The PCOS Revolution Podcast: Grounding Yourself During Times of Struggle With Ash Johns Today I have the honor of speaking with Ash Johns, a Conscious Business Strategist, Certified PsychoSpiritual Life Coach, and skilled Ancestral Healer living at the intersection of creativity, spirituality and business. After walking away from 10+ years in advertising and branding to run a eight-figure women’s retreat in Southeast Asia, Ash believes our greatest recurring trauma—both personally and collectively—is in how we’ve been taught to survive in this world, and that the key to thriving lies in returning to our roots. We're going deep today to give you the tools to ignite the healer within, and to reconnect with your purpose on this planet. Never has this message been needed to be heard more than now, and I encourage you to listen to this episode more than once to gain a bigger perspective on how to ground yourself when times get rough.  As an added bonus and to make this easier, Ash has recorded a special guided meditation for our listeners here: https://www.ashleyjohns.com/pcos-revolution-podcast-free-meditation You can learn more about Ash at ashleyjohns.com, @ashinspires on Instagram and Facebook I hope you enjoy listening and sharing this very special episode and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on our weekly Instagram Live's each Wednesday at https://www.instagram.com/flcompletewellness/ Help Us Spread The Word!

    Going Keto-Green To Flip the PCOS Perimenopausal Switch With Dr. Anna Cabeca

    Welcome to Episode 6 of Season 8 of The PCOS Revolution Podcast: Going Keto-Green To Flip the PCOS Perimenopausal Switch With Dr. Anna Cabeca Today I have with me Dr. Anna Cabeca, who's an expert in women's health and functional medicine. She's an Emory University trained and board-certified gynecologist and obstetrician and she's also certified in integrative medicine and anti-aging/regenerative medicine. She specializes in bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and their natural alternatives, and she also focuses on successful menopause and age management medicine. Dr. Cabeca's years of experience in her private practice, along with her own journey of transformation, has placed her as one of the most in-demand speakers regarding restorative health and women's health issues. In this episode, we discuss how hormone production dips as a woman ages, leading to increased visceral fat which is especially difficult for women with PCOS. By pairing keto-diet staples with foods that bring the body’s pH to a more alkaline level, you can shed belly fat more easily while balancing the hormones responsible for that bulkier midsection in the first place. And by fueling your brain with ketones—like rocket fuel instead of gasoline—you’ll make better decisions, including healthier choices for what to eat.

Dr. Aviva currently lives in western Massachusetts in the countryside. She had an early inspiration to become a physician. She went to college at age 15 to become an MD.
