Welcome back to The Simplicity Sessions, I’m delighted that you’ve joined us today. My name is Jenn Pike, your host, registered holistic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, the best-selling author of the Simplicity Project and the creator of the women’s revolutionary health program, The Hormone Project.

Today, we are joined by Dr. Anna Cabeca who’s known as the Girlfriend Doctor, she’s a triple board certified Emory university trained OB GYN and author of two best selling books.

Anna is the creator and author of The Hormone Fix, a groundbreaking holistic lifestyle program for menopausal women, as well as Keto Green 16, which is a comprehensive nutritional plan to help stay healthy and slim.

Dr. Anna Cabeca works tirelessly to help women reclaim their vibrancy, their sexuality, their health, and their happiness. She speaks from her experience. She speaks from the hip and she speaks from the heart and she has risen from her own ashes of personal tragedy that spiraled into depression from not one but two rounds of menopause.
