Ep #163: Disconnect, Discomfort and Desire in Perimenopause and Menopause with Dr. Anna Cabeca

In this interview, Andrea Donsky, a nutritionist, menopause educator, and published menopause researcher, as well as co-founder of WeAreMorphus.com, has a candid conversation with Dr. Anna Cabeca.  Dr. Cabeca is a triple-board-certified OB-GYN, author, and menopause expert, focusing on women’s hormonal health and natural solutions. She is also the creator of popular products like Julva® feminine moisturizer.

Topics Covered:

• The issues many women face in perimenopause and menopause in the area of vaginal, pelvic, and sexual health, including incontinence, bladder leakage, UTIs, loss of orgasm, vaginal dryness, and bladder, vaginal, or rectal prolapse.
• How the lack of connection, increased discomfort, and lower libido and desire can affect us.
• UTIs 101, including undetected UTIs. How they affect the brain, memory, and can lead to confusion or masquerade as dementia, and how they can be prevented.
• The benefits of vaginal estrogens, DHEAs, and testosterone, and how to use them.
• Julva® and how it helps both you and your partner.
• Types of lubricants and moisturizers, and the ingredients to watch out for.
• The difference between bladder, vaginal, and rectal prolapses (now called the Genitourinary syndrome of menopause). And how Dr. Anna treats her patients before surgery can result in them not needing the surgery at all.
• Which probiotics to use for vaginal and urinary tract health.
