My guest today is someone truly incredible in the health and functional medicine world! Dr. Anna Cabeca is the author of The Hormone Fix, a Triple Board Certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist, and just an all-around awesome woman!

 

On the podcast today, Dr. Anna Cabeca is going to share with us her own personal journey and story that really shifted her mindset and acknowledgment that lifestyle plays a large role in not only our health but in healing our bodies at a very deep level. Today we get into the nuances of how we actually enable women to breeze through perimenopause and menopause so that we can truly harness this incredibly powerful phase of life. Preparing for these hormonal transitions and managing them — even for those of us who are not in that phase of life yet — are critically important to understand; these are the foundational pieces that really enable our body to balance hormones on their own. And in this episode, we unpack all of these pieces, explore Dr. Cabeca’s Keto-Green system (that differs greatly from Keto!), and learn how we can begin incorporating these important changes into our lifestyle today!

 

Key Takeaways:

Recently, I had the experience to talk at the Mindshare Summit in San Diego about my vision for the future of health. This event is full of massively famous thought leaders and people that I really look up to in my own work. When I first found out I was going to speak in front of all of these people, I was excited. But that quickly turned into anxiety.

 

So, today, I want to talk to you all about this experience while it is still fresh! Because a lot of us, in the growth of our business and in our movement through life, face these opportunities where we tend to procrastinate and push them off because we feel like we are not ready. And in this moment, where I got up on the stage to speak, not only did I feel not ready, but I felt that the other people presenting were so much further ahead than I was.

 

But, what if, rather than saying, ‘I don’t like that feeling of anxiety,’ or ‘I need to escape that feeling,’ you worked on harnessing it? Because we all face these fears and anxieties — and in actuality, they’re important to our growth as human beings!

 

Key Takeaways:

[:16] About today’s episode.

[3:25] What I’ve learned in this mix of anxiety and procrastination.

[3:56] Why I’m sharing this moment with you all today.

[5:58] What I will be talking about at the Mindshare Summit.

[6:55] The lesson in all of this!

[8:18] Thanks for tuning in! Please share your thoughts on this episode on any social media and let me know how you combat your anxieties!

So, what do multiple bodybuilders who have previously been on The Entrepology Podcast have in common? It is that nearly all of them, following a period of intense competition, saw a massive deterioration of their health. Now think about this: these are athletes performing at their highest level. They’re at the most optimized state of physical physique — and yet, their body is falling apart on the inside.

 

Today I am joined by Wade Lightheart. Wade is a former Mr. Universe competitor, a 3X Canadian Bodybuilding Champion, and the co-founder and Director of Education for Biooptimizers. Wade is also the host of his podcast, The Awesome Health Podcast. And all around, he’s just an absolute wealth of knowledge! He’s highly articulate and extremely well-researched in the areas of health optimization. In fact, it was Wade’s own journey — one through watching his sister move through deteriorated health — and then his own (coming out of his bodybuilding period) that really encouraged him to delve deep into exploring this issues.

 

What was really enjoyable about today’s conversation with Wade was the way in which he was able to weave — not only a philosophical perspective on health — but some tangible research-focused elements into our conversation that related to biohacking from the inside-out. So much of Wade’s work focuses on the gut and digestive health issues — because, even as Hippocrates said 2,500 years ago, all health starts in the gut.

 

So, for anyone who’s interested in taking their health to the next level, understanding how to optimize your digestive health is where things absolutely must start! And there’s no better person to get us started on that conversation than Wade Lightheart himself!

 

Key Takeaways:

[1:38] About today’s episode!

[3:41] Welcoming Wade to the podcast!

[3:48] How did Wade get to where he is, right now, today?

[5:10] Is it common in the bodybuilding industry for bodybuilders to focus more on their physical physique rather than their health from the inside-out?

[7:37] Was it Wade’s work in bodybuilding and his own health crisis that led him to do the work that he does now?

[8:49] When was Wade’s ‘aha moment’ of realizing the gut was the root cause of all the downstream effects he had been seeing in his own health and others?

[10:37] The key metrics Wade wants people to look at in order to measure their health.

[12:47] When Wade is working with some with respect to gut health, where does he start with them? And what is the process he takes them through to get them back on track?

[23:01] Wade shares his thoughts on the attention people get from being sick.

[26:50] How Wade defines health.

[27:15] Wade speaks about some of the interventions on how to begin remedying gut issues and restore optimal digestion.

[31:26] Should we be supplementing enzymes? And should you stay on them consistently?

[42:58] Wade’s key performance indicators!

[45:45] Where to learn more about what Wade is up to!
