Episode 25: Demystifying Menopause: from Pre- to Post-, with Dr. Anna Cabeca May 19, 2021

Show notes

In this episode of Life Lessons, Gin and Sheri talk with Dr. Anna Cabeca about the stages of life all women go through as they transition from pre-menopause, to peri-menopause, and finally to post-menopause. Together, they discuss listener questions and Dr. Cabeca provides solutions so all of us can make an empowered transition.
Dr. Cabeca is known as the Girlfriend Doctor, and for good reason. Listening to her talk is like talking with “one of the girls”--but one who happens to hold all of the answers to the questions you may have been afraid to ask.
Unfortunately, even in today’s society, there is a real lack of understanding and discussion of the challenges related to female hormones and the changes we go through over time. Even the terminology is often misunderstood. Dr. Cabeca shares what all women need to know and what you need to be asking your doctor about, as well as what you can do to make this life transition easier and less stressful.

Episode 22: Self-Care isn't selfish Apr 28, 2021

Show notes

In this episode of Life Lessons, Gin and Sheri discuss the importance of making time in our lives for self-care.

Learn how your health can benefit when you take care of yourself, and hear from others about how they incorporate self-care into their lives, as well as why they feel it’s important to their health and their relationships.
