I am dedicating today's episode to discussing how hormones impact your relationships. The ups and downs of the female hormone cycle and hormone imbalances often make women feel out of control of their bodies, and this can affect relationships with your partner, family, kids, etc.  This is an important conversation because the strain on relationships can often cause additional issues and make health goals harder to reach. My goal for this episode is to open the conversation and share my experience around this issue.  12 Week Waitlist: www.drbethwestie.com/waitlist

I am dedicating today's episode to discussing the unhealthy side of becoming a health care professional. This might seem ironic to discuss, as we expect our doctors to take care of themselves as they would a patient. It's actually very common for those pursuing these careers to put their own health on the back burner.  This is an important conversation because more doctors and health professionals need to learn to prioritize their own health. Sometimes this means seeking health advice from other professionals! In this episode, my goal is to raise awareness around this issue and create an open space for the dialogue.
