ABOUT DR. ANNA

• I am a board-certified gynecologist
• I love medicine, I love women’s health and I am really passionate about to especially in areas of peri-menopause and menopause, helping women through transition to create a graceful transition
• One thing I have learned recently is that in Japan, the word “Konenki” for menopause means second spring and I have been holding on to that because menopause is a terrible word
• My first book, The Hormone Fix has been a bestseller, number one in menopause for a year on Amazon and Keto-Green 16 coming out already in number one in the low-carb diet in Amazon and it will be released on May 5th
• My books are my labor of love and now, I have created a 16-day plan that in composes my keto-green, keto alkaline approach to wellness, hormone balance, and revitalization to really support our body at any time in life especially in transition
• With Keto-Green 16, we ran group medical visits
• I have been monitoring my blood glucose for over a year and customizing menus that really keep blood sugar stable
• We want to be insulin sensitive as we age and so, identifying things that take you out of a healthy range of blood glucose and how quickly you bounce back into that healthy range is really important to monitor
• In our studies, the average age of participants is 61.6 years old and this is really important because studies are always don on 34-40 year old
• So, in the average age of 61.6-year-old women, in 16 days, there is an average weight loss of 9 lbs., average waist loss on 1.25 inches and an average decrease in symptoms scores up to 50%
• The average age of menopause is technically around 52
• The transition of these hormones can be as 10 to 15 years earlier
• We see this transition time as quite challenging but we see is the weight gain during the menopause because we become more insulin resistant, as well as cortisol sensitive
• Menopause is being defined as that day in your life that’s 12 months since your menstrual period
• Anything before that is pre or peri and after is post
• People will be symptomatic in menopausal journey anywhere from 5 to 15 years before they are post-menopausal
• Worsening hot flashes are due to insulin resistant, not so much estrogen
• Hence, why, insulin is an important major hormone
• So, besides hot flashes, we often see worsening PMS, irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, bleeding, weight gain, waist gain, irritability, brain fog, mood swings, memory loss
• These are all symptoms of hormone imbalance and that’s what really important to understand
• Hormone imbalance has a natural reason but typically as we age, our hormone decline as we get older
• At 40’s, progesterone levels are dropping and progesterone in a mother hormone that is necessary for cortisol production, adrenals, DHA, testosterone, and estrogen
• All these hormones are derived from cholesterol, so healthy fats is a significant part of the picture
  
• I don’t like estrogen palettes because we have a lot of estrogen in our body
• Sometimes, they are getting too high doses of testosterone palettes and that can have androgenic effects and physiology effects are behavior
• I would say, be cautious because you are getting too much when you’re irritable and getting angry and also thinking having an affairs
• Many of these testosterone clinics that are studying males hormone in these clinics are at high-rate of divorce and that’s not our goal
• I love testosterone especially on post menopause and for most of us it is essential for part of natural hormone replacement but also knowing how it affects our minds is also important
• It is important to understand how physiology drives behavior
• It is important to ask too to any hormone prescribing physician what their divorce numbers are
• Our brain is at a point of rewiring and so we want to honor that physiology shift
• It takes more than hormone to fix our hormones
• Checking the urine’s pH is really important
• Urine pH is a vital sign
• Stress creates an acidic urine pH, but an alkaline urine pH we know that it improves our bones, brain, decreases inflammation, decreases the risk cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and all the inflammatory diseases of aging

ABOUT MIGHT MACA PLUS

• My formula is gluten-free, dairy-free, non-GMO
• We went through 3 different suppliers that we used over the last 10 years and we test every product as it comes in and we could not meet my standards
• As we know, my product, the Might Maca Plus is clean, gluten-free, dairy-free, non-GMO and all the top quality natural sources and also 30 other superfoods including those we know that absolutely without a doubt that will boost our immunity and can help us with virus protection
• Each product comes in with specs and the final is certified
• My children drink my formula and also my children
• We know that in the nutraceutical that there are high-quality and really cheap products that will say that they are organic, clean, and so on
• While my formula is protected as a secret, the ingredients and the quality are all tested and available for review for anyone who so cares to do so
• Detoxification and alkalization fortifies our immune system
  
• Besides that, I would say, getting a keto green shakes
• You want healthy fats, good quality protein, and greens in every single meal
• You want to intermittent fast and extended fast to get to autophagy and do your own dusting and cleaning
• You want to drink plenty of bone breath as a meal and in between meals just to nourish your body, fortify and get those really nice absorbable nutrients, healthy fats and collagen into your system
  
• I have Dr. Kellyann’s, Kettle & Fire – those are two of the brands that I kept in the cabinet
• And Western Grass-Fed, those stay in the freezer just in case, but I have a pot of bone broth because when you do keto-green, you’ll always have vegetables in

WHAT IS A KETO-GREEN FAST

• When I say Keto-Green fasting, they have an option just to do keto-green shakes
• So, that’s for 3 days off fasting and we went into a water fast
• That way, we are boosting alkalinity before going into fasting because fasting in general, can make us more acidic
• That’s the concept of Keto-Green, really focusing on the alkaline behaviors while your fasting
