Jodi was a first-time guest and I had to have her on to talk about her essential oil brand which I personally use. And let me tell you, I don't leave home without them especially if I'm traveling!

 

Not only are the quality of these oils top-notch, but the blends are also amazing!

 

Today we discuss how to use them for adrenals, lymph, gallbladder, sleep, and assisting the liver. You've got to experience these oils for yourself!

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.

Today my guest, Dr. Nayan Patel, is uncovering one of the most important antioxidants with a very big role in our body.

 

We discussed: 

 

  • How it plays a huge role in our health
  • What causes it to become so depleted
  • How it can be used topically
  • Foods that increase levels

 

 

Dr. Nayan Patel is a sought-after pharmacist, wellness expert, and thought leader in his industry. He has been working with physicians since 1999 to custom develop medication for their clients and design a patient specific drug and nutrition regimen. He has been the pharmacist of choice to celebrities, CEO’s and physicians themselves.

 

He recently published his first comprehensive book, “The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging & Increase Energy.” After 11 years of clinical research on the master antioxidant, glutathione, Dr. Patel finally shares how powerful and essential glutathione is to the body’s detox system. He speaks about the various benefits it has with slowing the aging process down and explains how you can increase your levels naturally. Dr. Patel is a firm believer in providing the body with tools it needs to defend itself and promote a healthy lifestyle that fits the pace of the modern world.

 

Nayan Patel, Pharm.D is globally regarded as the foremost go-to expert on absorbable forms of glutathione, and holds the only patent on transdermal glutathione. In addition to many other topics such as cellular function and hormone replacement, Patel is a highly sought-after global authority on the critical role in that glutathione, and all other antioxidants and endogenous molecules play in the body. Along with traveling the world educating practitioners on advanced biochemistry and anti-aging science, Dr. Patel also serves as adjunct faculty at the University of Southern California School Of Pharmacy where he is also an alumnus.

 

He is currently a licensed compounding pharmacist that is still involved in designing and compounding drugs and nutrition therapies for his patients that includes athletes, CEO’s, highly stressed actors, physicians themselves and the community where he has practiced for 25 years. Besides being a pharmacist, CEO, and leader, he is a father to his three kids, husband to his supportive wife and a son to his dad who is the inspiration to help heal the world.

In this podcast, we talked about...

  • Why you should stop worrying about getting a diagnosis and start getting to the root of the problem.
  • What it’s like to work with Margaret
  • What two foods are essential to leave out of your diet if you suspect or know that you have autoimmune conditions.
  • The secret hidden puzzle piece that might be affecting your health and keeping you from feeling better.
  • Why the suggested ranges on tests might not mean that you are in the normal range for your body.
  • The Vitamin that Margaret tests for and starts patients on right away if she suspects that they have an autoimmune disease.
