If you have been feeling stuck, stressed and overwhelmed this episode is going to be for you. I have women asking all the time, what else can they do or take to get out of the rut, help deal with the stress and make some forward progress. And while  it can be super beneficial to add in very specific thing to help, that is only 50% of the equation. In this episode I am talking about the other 50%, which is really focusing on the external factors that are impacting the stress your body is experiencing and finding the joy in your day to day.   Learn more about the 6 Month Program: https://drbethwestie.com/fhs-waitlist/

Today I wanted to talk a bit about the history of different fad diets, and the likelihood of it leading to disordered eating.   One of the biggest things I run into when I start working with women, is they feel like they are eating too much. And when we really dig into this, often times we realize how little they have been eating. The concept of what a normal day of eating looks like, is often unclear for so many women. When we have a history of diet after diet, it can be so tough to shift this over night. In this episode I am diving deeper into how this can impact your results moving forward, and how it has impacted your current mindset!   Learn more about the 6 Month Program: https://drbethwestie.com/fhs-waitlist/
