Andrea and Lisa are joined by Dr. Anna Cabeca, MD to talk about her incredible book, "The Hormone Fix: Burn Fat Naturally, Boost Energy, Sleep Better, and Stop Hot Flashes, the Keto-Green Way." As women approach menopause, many start to experience the physical and emotional indignities of hormonal fluctuation: metabolic stall and weight gain, hot flashes and night sweats, insomnia, memory loss or brain fog, irritability, low libido, and painful sex. Too often, doctors tell us that these discomforts are to be expected and that we will have to wait them out during "the change"; some of us even agree to be unnecessarily medicated. But Dr. Anna Cabeca's research and experience with thousands of her patients show that there is a fast-acting and nonpharmaceutical way to dramatically and permanently alleviate these symptoms.The Hormone Fix introduces Dr. Cabeca's unique Keto-Green protocol, a plan that pairs the hallmarks of ketogenic (low-carb/high fat) eating with diet and lifestyle changes that bring the body's cellular pH to a healthy alkaline level. The proven result: balanced cortisol and reduced output of insulin, the hormones most responsible for belly fat and weight gain, plus an increase in oxytocin, the "love and happiness" hormone.With The Hormone Fix, you can expect to trim down, tap into new and unexpected energy levels, enhance intimacy, and completely revitalize your life! Ready for your fix?

The symptoms of celiac disease can be wide and varied, which makes it such a difficult disease to properly diagnose and treat.Welcome to our new series, "Throw Back Thursday: Celebrity Edition" (or TBTCE). In the following weeks, we'll be featuring various celebrity interviews from over the years. Hope you enjoy!
TBTCE: Jennifer Esposito
The symptoms of celiac disease can be wide and varied, which makes it such a difficult disease to properly diagnose and treat.
And, unfortunately, may doctors are still not taking the disease seriously, or not educated in what to look out for or how to address the problem. As unbelievable as it is, some doctors still treating it as a "fad."
As you can imagine, this puts individuals suffering from the disease in a terrible place.
So, what can you do if you suspect you have celiac but your doctor refuses to listen to you?
First and foremost, change doctors. You also need to go in to any appointments educated... if you don't know the right questions to ask, it's more likely that your doctor will brush off your symptoms.
Keep pushing until you find someone who will listen.
Also, know this: simply cutting out gluten will not "cure" you. There may have been years of damage, and eliminating gluten will not magically make you all better.
Celiac is an autoimmune disease, after all... your body will continue to attack itself unless you attack the disease with a holistic approach.
In this segment, actress Jennifer Esposito shares her struggle with celiac, as well as ways you can make sure you have a voice in your diagnosis and treatment.
