The forever chemicals hiding in period products, the foods and fats that actually calm hot flashes, and the one vitamin D number every breast cancer survivor should know.
If you've ever stood in the feminine care aisle wondering whether your tampons are doing more harm than good, or found yourself googling for the hundredth time what to eat to calm hot flashes, this episode is for you. I sat down with Dr. Anna Cabeca, a triple board-certified OB-GYN known as the Girlfriend Doctor, to talk about the forever chemicals hiding in period products, the foods and fats that actually support your hormones, and why she says muscle is magic in menopause.
We also get into the supplements she swears by, the vitamin D number she wants every breast cancer survivor to hit, and the three simple priorities she comes back to again and again when women ask her how to feel better fast. None of this requires an overhaul. Just a few smart shifts you can start today.
What You'll Learn:
- Why forever chemicals in tampons and pads may be doing more to your hormones than you think
- What to look for (and skip) before you reach for that "organic" tampon
- Menstrual cups, decoded: what Dr. Anna actually thinks about medical-grade silicone as a safer swap
- The healthy fats she says are non-negotiable for hormone production during menopause
- How to make cruciferous vegetables easier on your gut without giving them up
- "Muscle is magic": why strength training matters more in menopause than almost anything else
- The bone-and-joint tradeoff of years of cardio, and what to alternate it with instead
- What a real hormone detox looks like, and the everyday foods that support it
- The truth about maca, breast cancer risk, and why she still recommends it
- The vitamin D number she wants every breast cancer survivor to hit, and how to get there safely
- ...and more!

For laundry, I found a few brands that are really clean and free of harmful ingredients, but still searched for that fresh scent without the toxic junk.
