The Female Health Solution Podcast

I am dedicating today's episode to talking all about the DUTCH Hormone test! The DUTCH test not only the hormones but also the metabolism of those hormones. This is a urine test and will give you a much more complete picture vs a blood test which only gives you a snapshot of what is in your system at that moment. The DUTCH test will show you where the hormone is imbalanced along the metabolism pathways so you can really pin point what needs to be worked on. It isn't just a matter of if you have higher or lower hormones, but rather WHERE those hormones are having issues. DUTCH Test: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/

If you have followed me for any length of time you know I love DUTCH hormone testing! It is my go-to test for hormones, metabolic function and more.

You might be familiar with Biotin when it comes to supplementing for hair, skin, nails and can be associated with hair loss! In this episode, I share more about why Biotin is important and what you can do to improve the balance in your body. DUTCH Test: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/

What exactly is methylation and why is it important? Methylation happens in every cell of the body - how your cells detox, repair, absorb nutrients... everything! Genetics loads the gun, methylation turns off the safety, and your lifestyle pulls the trigger. The official way to see if you have methylation issues is through genetic testing, but there are ways to start working with your body even if you suspect some difficulties.

There is so much pressure on women to have it all together or strive for perfection. Maybe this messaging was part of childhood trauma or the need to earn acceptance.

Quick fix diets or fast weight loss is a huge focus of the diet industry. Trying to drop "weight" as quickly as possible can be so harmful especially for the female body. Fast weight loss tactics often require starvation techniques and cutting calories which will actually have the opposite impact long term. Not only do crash diets encourage weight gain in the future, they can negatively impact female hormones! In this episode, I dig into the dark side of crash dieting and an alternative approach.

It might sound a little weird to consider stop being nice. Being overly nice or accomodating or trying to please people can result in not caring for your own needs or boundaries. I am not saying that you should just start being mean, but rather make sure you are not sacrificing your mental, emotional and physical health for the sake of being nice to everyone else. We cover topics like this in my coaching and so many women discover that they need to set better boundaries and start putting themselves first.
