Dr. Beth Westie is the author of the Best Selling book, The Female Fat Solution, the creator of the 12 Week Female Fat Solution Challenge, and the host of The Female Health Solution Podcast. She has made it her mission to change the way women view their health. Travelling the country to educate and empower women to take their health into their own hands, she uses nutrition to help women work with the natural cycle of their bodies to achieve lasting weight loss results.

Dr. Beth shares her story, how she grew up, started a family, a career and a practice, and found herself with three young children and suffering from ovarian cysts that prevent her to keep on with a hectic and overwhelmed life.
