Detoxification in the body happens naturally, however, many women need additional detox support. Genetics, disease and inflammation are just a few reasons that you would need to assist the body with detox.  The frequency of detox techniques and tools can depend on a number of things. There are different types of detox (gut, liver, etc) and each body has different needs, goals and barriers. In this episode, I share more about how the body detoxes and the right plan for your body.  Learn more about the 1 to 1 program here: https://drbethwestie.com/jumpstart-program/

Tracy, a new mom, shares her struggles with irregular menstrual cycles, low prolactin, and low progesterone levels since giving birth to her son two years ago.

621. How To Manage Stress And Overwhelm

It’s time for a personal update! While I usually focus on health education, I wanted to share a bit more about my personal life because that’s where we all get the most support right? The lives of other women battling the same things we are.  Recently, my dad landed in the hospital. It was a serious deal - respiratory failure, sepsis, the works. Easter plans? Canceled. Instead, we visited Dad in the ICU, hooked up to all the machines - honestly, it hit me harder than I expected.  It’s been weeks of hospital visits, canceled plans, and emotional whiplash. But amidst the chaos, I've been reminded of a thing or two. Healing isn't linear, ladies. And I've had to cut myself some slack, dialing down the perfectionism.  Grab a cup of coffee and join me for the full update!  Hang out with me:  Facebook: https://facebook.com/drbethwestie Instagram: https://instagram.com/drbethwestie If you have questions or just want to connect, shoot me a DM on instagram @drbethwestie or contact@drbethwestie.com   

620. A Personal Update: Family Drama

In this episode, I had a chat with Erika who shared her struggles dealing with postpartum health issues, like a painful fibroid and PMS. Erica has been frustrated because her doctors weren't really listening to her concerns. They kept pushing birth control and ibuprofen as a quick fix, ignoring her struggles.  I kept thinking to myself, I've been there too.  Advocating for yourself and finding a healthcare provider who really listens to you is ESSENTIAL. I talked through some practical tools like seed cycling and tinctures to help balance her hormones and reduce inflammation. We also talked about how to approach doctors who aren't being helpful. Here is your permission to be firm about what tests you need and to stand up for yourself if you are being ignored or gaslight.
