The traditional approaches to maintaining your health and wellness are often the default option for most people, however, these approaches do not work for everyone and there is a demand for alternatives. In today’s episode, we hear about such an alternative approach from Dr. Beth Cook who is currently based at Wellness Way where her work focuses on hormone support. Dr. Cook is an accomplished professional with a Doctorate of Chiropractic and a Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness. Dr. Cooks advocates for drugs and surgery as a last resort and, rather than treating the symptoms, she focuses on the causes which she believes can be treated using scientifically grounded, natural and holistic approaches. In today’s episode, we find out more about Dr. Cook, her work at Wellness Way, what makes the Wellness Way approaches different, the benefits of supporting hormones rather than replacing them, the issues surrounding traditional treatments, and much more! Tune in to hear more about how you can feel better by giving your body the support it needs, with Dr. Beth Cook!
