The Female Health Solution Podcast

For the second episode in my four part DUTCH series, I want to address nutrients and neurotransmitters. It is so important to look at the wide range of hormones in the female body together, because everything is connected and builds off one another. One of the big questions we want to answer is "how did I get here with my health?"  When looking at nutrient levels, there are several things at play when we look at the nutrient levels in your body. This includes eating quality foods and quality sourcing, gut health and more. A big issue with nutrition is whether or not your body is absorbing and utilizing the food that you eat. In this episode, I discuss more about the nutrition markers on DUTCH testing, what this means for you and how to turn things around.  DUTCH Test: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/ Learn more about Mossa: https://www.mossaondemand.net/ Use code: FEMALEHEALTHSOLUTIONS30 for a FREE 14 day trial

This is the first episode in my DUTCH hormone testing series! This series is dedicated to going through some of the important and common hormone issues that women experience and why testing is so helpful.  Today, let's talk about cortisol and the vicious cycle of stress, cortisol and weight gain. Increased stress and cortisol is something many of us deal with on a daily basis, and it can be very harmful to overall health and wellbeing. Most women do not realize how much stress is actually contributing to weight gain and further hormone issues.  Learn more about Mossa: https://www.mossaondemand.net/ Use code: FEMALEHEALTHSOLUTIONS30 for a FREE 14 day trial DUTCH Test: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/  

When it comes to stress and cortisol, we are often talking about how to lower it or bad cortisol. What about a healthy cortisol response? We don't want to get rid of cortisol entirely. Cortisol is like the three bears, you need an amount that is "just right". A stress response can actually keep your body safe in some circumstances and a healthy stress response is more about how your body regulates after the event. In this episode, I discuss what it looks like to regulate stress properly and how to achieve it.  DUTCH Test: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/

Let's talk about the lies we've been told about our health. Women especially have been set up to fail with all the misinformation about the female body. For example, there are so many products that are marketed towards women's health that are actually full of toxic chemicals!  The big key to all of this is becoming your own health advocate and finding sources that you trust for everything. In this episode, we go through different lies and how they impact female health and what you can do about it.  Female hormone Solution Waitlist: https://dr-beth-westie.mykajabi.com/12-week-program-waitlist

I am dedicating today's episode to discussing the importance of relationships on your health. Having people in your life (partners, kids, family, etc) can be so important for accountability and support.  Toxic relationships, on the other hand, can also create stress and cause emotional and physical issues. It is so important to create boundaries and stand up for yourself in these relationships. In this episode, I cover how toxic relationships impact your health and how to deal with them.  Female hormone Solution Waitlist: https://dr-beth-westie.mykajabi.com/12-week-program-waitlist

Relationships and life events have a big impact on female health. We often look at the emotional side effects of unhealthy relationship dynamics, but what about the physical? Your hormones will change based on the stress you are under in certain relationships.  Feeling "stuck" in certain relationships and situations is a common scenario for many women! In this episode, I go through different examples of what this looks like and how to take steps to untangle yourself and your hormones.  Female hormone Solution Waitlist: https://dr-beth-westie.mykajabi.com/12-week-program-waitlist

Gut health and digestion impacts your hormones, which is why it is so important! Your ability to navigate the stress and hormone fluctuations throughout the month is heavily tied to your gut health.  Processing your hormones (metabolizing and detoxifying) happens primarily in the liver as well as other organs. Taking care of these detox organs is key! In this episode, I dive deeper into gut health, hormones and how to feel your best!  Female hormone Solution Waitlist: https://dr-beth-westie.mykajabi.com/12-week-program-waitlist

Many women struggle with the fact that their male partners don't struggle with weight or body image like they do. I am sharing my personal experience and that of others around this topic!  When you are struggling to lose weight or love your body, it can be very challenging if your partner has an easy time with either of these things. In this episode, I dive deeper into why this is the case and ways to grow through it! 

Building muscle is so important for women and hormones are often overlooked in this process. We think that if we just work out more or harder, we will get the results we want. This will actually have the opposite impact! Supporting hormones is key when trying to build muscle effectively.  In this episode, I discuss which hormones impact muscle building and how to support them while achieving long term results.  Female hormone Solution Waitlist: https://dr-beth-westie.mykajabi.com/12-week-program-waitlist
