  • The Deadly Secrets in Your Smile Part 2

    The Deadly Secrets in Your Smile Part 2
    May 23 2025

    You might not realize just how much your oral health is tied to your heart and overall wellness—but it’s a connection worth knowing about. I caught up again with my amazing colleague, Dr. Ellie Campbell, and we got into why regular lab tests sometimes miss the early signs of things like heart disease, stroke, and even dementia. We talked about why your dentist could actually be one of the most important people on your health team, plus some sneaky risks that only advanced testing can catch.

    Dr. Ellie has been in family medicine for over 25 years, mixing integrative and functional approaches to help people truly understand their health. She shared some eye-opening stuff about how sleep apnea can mess with your blood sugar, why fasting blood sugar numbers matter more than you think, and how your genes could be playing a bigger role than you realize. She also gave some solid advice on how to speak up for yourself in a medical system that doesn’t always connect these dots.

    If you’re someone who wants to take better care of yourself and catch problems before they sneak up, this episode is packed with tips that really hit home. And by the way, just to sweeten things up—my new Mighty Maca Mango is out now, perfect for spring and summer. It’s a delicious twist on Mighty Maca that you can toss in sparkling water or make into popsicles. Check it out anytime at dranna.com—it’s a little treat with big benefits.

  • Metabolic Freedom with Ben Azadi

    Metabolic Freedom with Ben Azadi
    May 16 2025
    Can you be 10 to 20 pounds overweight and still be considered healthy? Ben Azadi says yes—but it all depends on where that fat is located. I had such a powerful conversation with Ben, FDN-P—he’s the Founder of Keto Kamp and someone who’s helped thousands (maybe millions!) of people break free from what he calls “metabolic prison.” We talked about the kind of fat that really puts your health at risk, and why looking lean doesn’t always mean you're healthy. This one really made me rethink how we define “healthy”—especially as we get older. Ben shared how he lost 80 pounds and completely turned his life around, and now he’s teaching others how to do the same—without crash diets or gimmicks. His book, Metabolic Freedom, is packed with real strategies to help you feel better, think clearer, and age in a healthier way. We got into the nitty-gritty of insulin resistance (something so many women in midlife are dealing with), how to become a fat burner instead of a sugar burner, and why fasting is more than just skipping meals—it’s about giving your body a chance to heal. And he makes it all so doable, even if you’re just getting started. I also asked Ben about his own routine—he shared some simple habits that make a big difference, like hydration tips, gratitude journaling, and how building muscle can help keep your metabolism humming. Oh, and speaking of feeling good… there’s a brand-new flavor of my fave superfood drink, Mighty Maca Mango—it’s zesty, refreshing, and just in time for summer. I’ve been loving it in sparkling water or frozen as popsicles (total game-changer). You can grab it at dranna.com and give your body that extra support it deserves! Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] Introduction. [00:02:50] Metabolic freedom journey. [00:05:57] Metabolic prison explained. [00:08:04] Insulin resistance in women.

Memorable Quotes: "Calories matter. Don't get me wrong. They're just not the most important thing. Hormones and inflammation are the most important thing." [00:12:32] – Ben Azadi "We need to flex out and have a flexible metabolism because that's another form of a metabolic prison is only burning fat and ketones and not sugar."

  • Navigating Mother’s Day with Grace and Healing

    Navigating Mother’s Day with Grace and Healing
    May 9 2025

    As we approach Mother's Day, I want to take a moment to connect with you on a deeply personal level. This holiday can evoke a whirlwind of emotions—joy, gratitude, and love, but also grief and longing. I understand how isolating grief can feel, especially if you've lost your mother or a child. These experiences have shaped my journey, and I want to share my story with you in this week's episode. I’m also sharing how my recent explant surgery became part of that healing process in ways I didn’t expect.

    I talked about how to make space for all the feelings that come with Mother’s Day—because it’s not all sunshine and roses for everyone, and that’s okay. I’m sharing simple ways to honor the day in your own way, like writing a letter, spending it quietly, or just doing something kind for yourself. There’s also something powerful about reaching out and connecting, especially when it feels like you’re the only one struggling. This episode is a little love note to anyone who needs a soft place to land right now.

    And if you’re in the mood to treat yourself or someone you love, we’re having a little Mother’s Day sale from May 7–11. You can build your own bundle and get 25% off when you grab three or more of your favorite goodies from dranna.com. It’s my way of saying thank you, and Happy Mother’s Day—you’re doing better than you think.

    Memorable Quotes:

    "Healing isn't about getting over something. It is learning to carry it with love and grace and recognizing that is what built me." [00:14:49] – Dr. Anna Cabeca
