Summary

What if menopause wasn’t a decline — but a powerful transformation? In this in-person episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi sits down with Dr. Anna Cabeca, OB-GYN, best-selling author, and The Girlfriend Doctor, live from the Biohacker Expo in Miami. Together they explore how hormones, mindset, and metabolism work in harmony — and how understanding this connection can help women move through perimenopause and menopause with energy, joy, and confidence. Dr. Cabeca shares her philosophy that menopause is mandatory, but suffering is optional. You’ll learn how oxytocin, progesterone, and cortisol shape mood and metabolism, and how simple shifts in lifestyle, nutrition, and mindset can restore balance. The conversation dives deep into topics like insulin resistance, fasting, sleep, stress, and the surprising role of oxytocin in healing and longevity. If you’re ready to rewrite the story of menopause and embrace your second spring with vitality and purpose, this episode will show you the way. 🔗 Links and Resources: 📘 The Hormone Fix & MenuPause by Dr. Anna Cabeca – available wherever books are sold 🌐 Website: DrAnna.com 💻 Join the Magic Menopause Program: Learn more at DrAnna.com 📱 Follow Dr. Cabeca on Instagram: @thegirlfrienddoctor 💻 Join the Fat Loss Academy:⁠ MeltFatMethod.com⁠ → Get the 30-Day Fat Drainage Protocol, Precision Fasting System, and bonus Q&A with Ben 📗 Ben’s Book – Metabolic Freedom: ➡️ Learn how to reprogram your cells for fat-burning and longevity:⁠ MetabolicFreedomBook.com⁠ 📺 Watch the full interview on YouTube:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/c/KetoKamp⁠⁠ 🔎 Find all sponsorship deals and discount codes:⁠ ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals⁠
