But is it really normal for women to have all of these symptoms? Dr. Trevor Cate is the bestselling author of the book, Clean Skin from Within and she’s also the owner and founder of The Spa Dr, a natural skin care line. She’s chatting with Lisa to debunk all of the symptoms that have been normalized for women for far too long. It’s time to start paying attention to the symptoms we have and stop passing them off as the way it is. Dr. Cate shares in her new book how waking up refreshed from a full night’s sleep without coffee first thing in the morning and having energy throughout the day is attainable. We have to start recognizing these symptoms for what they really are, our bodies' way of getting our attention and letting us know something is off. Diet choices have more impact on our symptoms and our ability to alleviate them by treating the root causes than you know.

Symptoms are a sign that something is not quite right.” [17:03] “Whether it’s kale or mac n’ cheese, it’s not that food that we’re hungry for sometimes, it’s something else.” [32:05] “Birth control pills were made for birth control, let’s just let them be that and not try to use them for managing symptoms.” [39:13] “If you can get your oxytocin going it will help you bond with your partner, [...] when you feel that connection you feel more in the mood.” [53:34] Follow Dr. Trevor Cates: Website: https://thespadr.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTrevorCates Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thespadr/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHv9yE00OLWaqUYYKd48TZQ/videos
