In this Life Lounge AMA, Dr. Anna Cabeca—aka The Girlfriend Doctor—dives deep into the hormonal chaos of perimenopause, menopause, and female burnout. From her personal healing story reversing early menopause to formulating top-selling women’s health products, Dr. Anna shares powerful, practical strategies to balance hormones naturally.

She explains how stress, detox, and lifestyle factors play a greater role than hormones alone—and how to get your energy, mood, libido, and brain clarity back without relying on pharmaceuticals. You’ll also hear about her experience in a pitch-black spiritual retreat, why Mighty Maca is not just another greens powder, and how both men and women can benefit from understanding the true role of progesterone, DHEA, and testosterone.

Whether you’re in your 30s, 50s, or just trying to support your partner through hormonal shifts, this episode is packed with insight.
