Dr. Anna’s Travel Wellness Protocol for Women Over 40: Energized, Balanced & Rested

Having patients who are flight attendants and pilots, one discussion is always about radiation exposure. Since learning about potential harmful aspects and helpful precautions, I never board a plane without these basics.

  • Mighty Maca® Plus – A scoop before takeoff and one mid-flight supports detox, energy, and hormone balance.


  • Vitamin C (1,000–2,000 mg) & Vitamin E (400 IU) – A classic antioxidant duo.

  • Iodine – Seaweed snacks or a supplement support thyroid health.

  • Melatonin - Studies indicate that melatonin shows promise in reducing some of the harmful effects of radiation exposure

These aren't just supplements. They're travel companions that support you at 35,000 feet.


Ready to fuel your flight with protection? Make Mighty Maca® Plus your sky-high staple.

2. Stay Deeply Hydrated

During a trip to the Middle East, I forgot my electrolyte packets and paid for it with headaches and crankiness. Since then, water with minerals is a non-negotiable.

  • Drink water consistently before, during, and after flights

  • Add Tri-Salts or Oryx Desert Salt to enhance hydration

  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine mid-flight

Simple, but powerful. Hydration is your glow-up tool.


Sip intentionally and nourish your body from the inside out.

3. Move Your Body Often

On my way to Australia, I spent 14 hours on a plane and didn’t move much. When I landed, my ankles were swollen and my energy was stuck.

  • Toe raises, calf pumps, and ankle circles hourly

  • Aisle walks during longer flights

  • Compression socks to support blood flow

Your movement is medicine—even in a narrow aisle.


Stretch it out! You were made to move.

4. Reset Your Circadian Rhythm

In Portugal, I once forced myself to stay up until 10 PM local time after landing—it was painful, but it worked. That’s when I learned the magic of syncing with the sun.

  • Sunlight exposure after landing (sunrise and sunset are best)

  • Grounding – barefoot walking on earth-based surfaces

  • Call It a Nite™ Melatonin – 3–10 mg before bedtime

  • Magnesium Glycinate or L-threonate (200–400 mg)

  • Bioidentical Progesterone (if using)

  • Night Zzz™ for deeper sleep

5. Re-Boost Energy Post-Trip

After my book tour, I came home depleted—until I started doubling down on afternoon support.

These are your hormone-happy tools for re-entry.


Land softly. Re-enter gently. Your energy is sacred.

6. Nurture Your Gut on the Go

Once, during a European food tour, my digestion revolted. Lesson learned: probiotics are a travel must.

  • Pack a high-quality probiotic

  • Eat fiber-rich meals whenever possible

  • Hydrate, and limit sugar and processed snacks

Your gut is your second brain—and it needs a travel buddy.


Support your digestion, and your trip will support you back.

7. EMF Protection for Frequent Flyers

I travel with a DefenderShield EMF blanket and hat—especially on long-haul flights. Personally, I sleep better with them.

  • Bring EMF protective gear for flights

  • Limit unnecessary Bluetooth/Wi-Fi exposure

Your body deserves calm, even when surrounded by electronics.


Your peace field is portable. Pack it.


Final Encouragement


You don’t have to feel depleted after traveling. With a little foresight and the right support, your body can adapt, reset, and thrive.


I created this protocol so women like you could reclaim travel as something that energizes you—not something you recover from.


Your radiance is portable. Let’s help you carry it with you.
