Menopause can pose severe challenges to women: hot flashes, cognitive impairment, sleep problems, and sexual difficulties, often compounded by weight gain. ObGyn Dr. Anna Cabeca is schooled in mainstream medicine but has added a natural medicine repertoire to her practice. She recounts how she learned to overcome her own devastating symptoms of early menopause. She believes that diets need to be individualized for menopausal women. Find her quiz to determine your menopause type at www.DrAnna.com/mpquiz. We discuss the role of supplements and bio-identical hormone replacement to augment tailored diets. Her book, “MenuPause: Five Unique Eating Plans to Break Through Your Weight Loss Plateau and Improve Mood, Sleep, and Hot Flashes,” highlights the role variations on the keto diet and intermittent fasting can play in alleviating menopause symptoms and reversing mid-life weight gain.

Give the gift of healthy chocolate!
If you have a sweet tooth like me, the holiday season can be full of temptation.
Thankfully, FlavaNaturals’ line of products ensures chocolate lovers like me can obtain the full health benefits of cocoa flavanols along with great taste—all with less fat and sugar!
Cocoa is one of the most thoroughly-investigated functional foods on the planet. That’s why I take plentiful, flavanol-rich cocoa supplementation daily and have long recommended it to my patients and audience. But just taking any store-bought dark chocolate won’t deliver its benefits; FlavaNaturals cocoa products contain 5-9 times the beneficial flavanols of typical dark chocolate. I throw some powder in with my decaf or a smoothie, and even use it to make chia chocolate pudding!
Right now, FlavaNaturals is offering special holiday savings for my audience: Save 20% through December 19th with code HOFFMAN20
