ONE NSU MAGAZINE information with so many brilliant minds who come to the “couch” with their knowledge and under- standing of a multitude of different health disciplines.” Whether it’s working with her patients or interacting with guests on her podcast, Cabeca “wants people to relate to me on a more human, personal level. Many patients don’t open up to their doctors, as they perceive them as special people in white coats who live in some kind of ivory tower,” she said. “There has to be some level of transparency to get to the root cause of any illness, and that comes with trust,” she added. “If people see me as a girlfriend doctor, they will more easily reveal things about themselves that will enable me to help them in a more significant way, and I can guide them through tools on how to help themselves.” MENOPAUSE MESSAGE As a medical professional who has dealt with—and overcome—early menopause and infertility issues, Cabeca has an important message to share. “Menopause is natural and mandatory, but suffering is optional. When we address the underlying reasons, we can decrease inflammation and support the adrenal glands,” she stressed. “When we change our diets to the Keto-Green 16 life- styles, which means eating high-quality proteins, high- quality fat foods, and many alkalinizing greens, along with practicing intermittent fasting, we can reverse the symptoms women suffer from when they reach that time in their lives. I really want women to know they can breeze through menopause into the second spring of their lives and feel better than ever.” Cabeca, who authored the best-selling books The Hormone Fix, Keto-Green 16, and MenuPause, also created innovative products such as Mighty Maca Plus and Julva—an antiaging feminine cream. “These products are the fruits of my own personal and professional journeys as a woman and physician in constant quest of learning,” she said. “I am a great proponent of using natural, chemical-free products, as chemicals can be potential hormone disruptors that can really affect hormonal balance in women of all ages.” However, Cabeca is quick to stress that the answer is never just a pill or a product. “It’s always a combination of different elements,” she concluded. “We all need to take care of ourselves so we can do the work God put us on this Earth for.” “If people see me as a girlfriend doctor, they will more easily reveal things about themselves that will enable me to help them in a more significant way.” 42
