In the Details: Helping Women Reclaim Their Health with Dr. Anna Cabeca

Dr. Anna Cabeca was only 16 years old when she realized that most health studies were limited because they only focused on a portion of the population. Her mother was undergoing heart surgery and Anna found that all of the research was based on surgeries done on men. From that point, she became an advocate for women’s health and research.  Anna is now a certified OB/GYN and founder of The Girlfriend Doctor brand and products. Her heart's work is to provide women with accurate health information while also giving holistic solutions to handle the many phases of life, such as balancing menstruation and menopausal symptoms with a healthy diet. Today, she talks about reasons why women have been left out of medical research and common misconceptions about women's health. As well, she explains how our thoughts affect our neurology, nervous system, hormones, and immune system.    Learn more about Dr. Anna Cabeca at drannacabeca.com and follow her on Instagram at @thegirlfrienddoctor. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
