511. PCOS Types & Testing
Polycystic ovary syndrome impacts many women but there are variations of how this manifests in the body. I had horrific ovarian cysts myself, so it was a big motivation to heal my body from the inside out! Many practitioners don't know how to deal with PCOS and often tell women to go on medication or hormones or "just lose weight." In this episode, I discuss PCOS types and how to test for them!

510. Why Protein Is So Important
We are talking about protein again?! YES. Protein is one of the big keys to restoring energy, hormone balance, muscle gain and fat loss. Most women that I work with are not eating enough protein, especially after dieting or calorie restriction. Keep in mind that everyone's protein needs are different! In this episode, I cover a few stories of women who increased their protein and saw amazing results. DUTCH Test: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/

509. Am I In Perimenopause?
When looking at hormones, perimenopause or menopause symptoms can be confusing! Some women lose their period/cycle and assume they are perimenopausal, when really a number of things can play into this. Genetic and health factors also play a big role, and some women CAN go into menopause in their late 30's/early 40's. This episode dives into all things menopause and how to determine what's going on with your hormones! DUTCH Test: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/

508. Flexible Nutrition For Your Hormones
One of the biggest lies told to women is that restricting calories and eating the same amount every single day will make them skinny. Not only does this NOT work, it causes many women to gain weight, lose muscle, binge eat and put stress on their hormones! In this episode, I want to highlight why low calorie and inflexible nutrition doesn't work for women and how you can eat FOR your hormones and feel your best.

507. Should I Take DIM?
One of the most common ingredients I see in supplements designed for the female body is DIM. Diindolylmethane is a compound that the body creates when digesting cruciferous vegetables and it can have many positive effects on the female body. I recommend it to many women that I work with, but only after identifying certain symptoms and hormone levels. DIM can have the opposite impact if your body doesn't need it! In this episode we dive into all things DIM! Learn more about the 1 to 1 program here: https://drbethwestie.com/jumpstart-program/

505. The Right Map For Your Health
This episode is dedicated to mindset, tools to achieve your goals, and the right map to follow for results. Setting realistic goals is one thing, but following the right journey to get there is another. The diet and fitness industry often has a one size fits all approach, which will actually harm most women. An individualized road map to health is the key, and we will dive into what this looks like in this episode! Learn more about the 1 to 1 program here: https://drbethwestie.com/jumpstart-program/

504. Trauma History & Your Health
For those of us who have gone through traumatic events and adversity (which is most of us!), it is important to acknowledge how this impacts your health journey. It is not so much about lingering on the negative events, but rather uncovering your strength to move forward and allow yourself to have a different journey from someone else. Healing from trauma looks different for each woman, but it is important to be aware of it. The goal of this episode is to open the conversation around these issues and share ways you can improve your health.
