What if your symptoms weren't “in your head”—but the medical system made you believe they were? In this raw and revealing conversation, Dr. Amie Hornaman, host of The Thyroid Fixer podcast, opens up about being misdiagnosed six times, dismissed by doctors, and told she was “fine” while her health was falling apart. From a shocking uterine cancer scare to relentless thyroid struggles, she shares how she refused to be gaslit and started trusting her intuition instead. We dive into the functional testing, unconventional therapies, and emotional resilience it takes to heal when the system fails you—and why every woman needs to be her own advocate.

You're not just tired — you're exhausted. You love your life, your family, your work, but lately, you can't keep up. You lie down to rest but don't bounce back. You sleep, but never feel restored. You've tried yoga, meditation, more coffee, less coffee… and yet, nothing really works. Let's talk about adrenal dysfunction — more specifically, low cortisol and how it mimics, and masks so many of your symptoms. If you have low cortisol, your body isn't just tired — it's depleted. You may: Need rest to even function — but rest doesn't revive you Feel emotionally flat or unmotivated Lose interest in intimacy (even with a loving partner) Struggle with dizziness, especially after standing Feel overwhelmed by even simple tasks So what's the solution? You need real clarity. That's where the DUTCH Test comes in — my favorite functional hormone test that gives a full picture of your adrenal health (not just a snapshot). Unlike a blood or saliva test that tells you what's happening right now, the Dutch Test shows how your body is actually using cortisol over time. Think: zoomed-out, root-cause clarity. It's not about slapping on more stress management hacks or trying harder. Healing is about having the right map to follow. If you're tired of guessing, tired of being told “everything looks normal,” tired of feeling like you've tried everything… please stop waiting. Let's get your answers.
You've been told, “Your labs look normal.” But you're dragging through your days, snapping over nothing, wide awake at 2 a.m., and feeling like a stranger in your own body. So what's this really about? “Normal” isn't the whole story. Most standard lab tests are designed to rule out disease. They're not built to uncover the root cause of fatigue, hormone imbalances, anxiety, stubborn weight, or burnout. That's why so many women are left thinking: “Something's wrong, but no one can find it.” It's not you. It's your labs. Standard blood work often misses: cortisol rhythm disruptions (aka adrenal fatigue), estrogen dominance or sluggish hormone detox, testosterone imbalance and low libido, and how your body is actually handling stress. That's why we use the DUTCH Test. The DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) looks deeper. It gives you a full-day cortisol rhythm (not just a one-time blood snapshot), a breakdown of sex hormone pathways—not just totals—and insight into why your body is out of balance and what to do about it. Tired of being told “You're fine” when you feel awful? The DUTCH Test has changed the game for hundreds of women—giving them answers, validation, and a real path forward. You can order your test here: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/
In this powerhouse episode of The Thyroid Fixer Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing something deeply personal: my recent uterine cancer diagnosis. But this isn't just a story about me—it's about everything I'm uncovering for YOU as I navigate the tough questions about hormone replacement, cancer risk, and bioidentical hormones. I brought in the hormone whisperer herself, Betty Murray, to break down my DUTCH test results and show you how this test can reveal critical pieces of your hormonal puzzle, from estrogen metabolism to those sneaky detox pathways that even most practitioners don't see coming. If you've ever wondered how to personalize your hormone replacement and avoid the cookie-cutter clinic approach, this episode is your must-listen cheat sheet. We're diving deep on why no woman should settle for an algorithmic approach to hormone therapy—because you are not an algorithm! You'll hear exactly how genetics, lifestyle, and even environmental toxins can impact your estrogen metabolism and overall cancer risk. We'll talk about what those DUTCH test dials really mean for your thyroid, testosterone, cortisol, and most importantly, your long-term health. Whether you're already on HRT, battling fatigue, have a family history of cancer, or simply want to bulletproof your future, this episode will arm you with the knowledge to advocate for your own body...plus, you'll get some never-heard insights into how I'm customizing my post-cancer hormone protocol.

Happy last Thursday in May! As we round out the end of May, I (Allison) am finishing up the last week of my maternity leave! To celebrate this, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU. Today's topic is from my client Melissa. She asked: "My previous functional medicine provider put me on a supplement for my estrogen dominance about a year ago. Since then, I have been taking I-3-C Plus Dim and Calcium-D-Glucarate everyday. I feel that it has helped me so much with my PMDD symtoms as well as gallbladder symptoms and notice a difference when I miss doses. Do I need to stop taking this for awhile when I do my DUTCH test? Would this skew the results? I can stop taking if needed but don't want to if I don't have to." Melissa's question comes from a desire to not waste money on functional lab testing by getting results that aren't even relevant or trustworthy. Yet, she also doesn't want her symptoms to come BACK by going off a supplement she's found SUPER helpful. What is Melissa to do? If you've ever been in a similar bind of wanting to do a lab test but feeling nervous about going off supplements or medications - then this episode is for you!

Being exhausted every day is not normal. Not the “I need a little nap” kind of tired. I'm talking about the kind of exhaustion where: You can't do the grocery store + make dinner in the same day. Folding a load of laundry feels like climbing a mountain. You cancel plans (again) because you just can't. And when you bring it up? You get told: “Maybe you're just stressed.” “It's just getting older” "That's just part of being a woman. No. You are not crazy for feeling this way. And you deserve answers. Your energy levels are the result of so many pieces working together behind the scenes. When even one gets thrown off, your whole system feels it. Here's what I always recommend looking at when women tell me they're this tired: Dutch Test — my favorite starting point. It gives a deep dive into your: Cortisol levels throughout the day (a huge player in energy) Estrogen, progesterone & androgens (hello stamina + muscle strength) B vitamin markers & nutrient levels Methylation process (how your body actually uses what you give it) Iron Levels — one of the most common deficiencies in women, especially if you've been told “your labs look fine” but you still feel awful. Thyroid Panel — because a “normal” result doesn't mean optimal, and your thyroid is everything for your metabolism, mood, and energy. Sometimes even inflammatory markers or other custom labs depending on what your Dutch test reveals. Why a Dutch Test over everything else? Because it shows the full picture. Not just one hormone. Not just one level. It helps us see the why behind your exhaustion so we can fix it at the source. I can't tell you how many women I've worked with who were taking B vitamins or iron and still felt like garbage — because they weren't addressing their cortisol patterns, methylation issues, or the fact they weren't even absorbing their supplements properly. You don't need more guesswork. You need strategy. This is exactly what we do in the 6 Month Female Hormone Solution. ✨ Registration is open right now — but only to the waitlist.

Ever feel like your body is working against you no matter how “healthy” you try to be?That's exactly where I found myself—exhausted, bloated, moody, wired yet tired, and frustrated that nothing was working. So I decided to dig deeper. I ran a DUTCH hormone test on myself… and let's just say, the results were humbling.In this raw and honest episode, I'm walking you through what my DUTCH test revealed—and why I now lovingly refer to my hormones as a bit of a “dumpster fire.”Here's what I discovered:

He critiques the biohacking community for lacking a clear roadmap and emphasizes a dual approach: analyzing lifestyle factors (sleep, diet, stress, toxins) from the outside-in and using functional lab tests from the inside-out to get a complete health picture.Dr. Shay introduces five key categories of functional testing:Hormone Testing – Covers adrenal health, sex hormones, and thyroid function. He highlights the Dutch Test for hormone balance and the Cortisol Awakening Response Test for stress resilience.Gut Testing – Includes comprehensive stool analysis (GI Map, Genova GI Effects) to detect infections, inflammation, and gut flora imbalances, as well as SIBO and food intolerance testing.Nutrient & Metabolic Testing – Assesses deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, and mitochondrial function.Toxin & Heavy Metal Testing – Identifies exposure to mold, chemicals, and environmental toxins.Genetic Testing – Helps personalize nutrition and lifestyle choices based on DNA markers.Dr. Shay stresses that testing saves time and money by eliminating guesswork with supplements and trendy health fads. He also shares insights on how to properly measure blood pressure at home and why gut healing should come before food sensitivity testing.This episode provides a practical guide for navigating functional testing and understanding which tests may be most valuable for personal health optimization.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV
In this solo episode, I address the misconception that normal lab results always indicate optimal fertility or that there aren't any underlying issues present. Using a case study from one of my clients, I illustrate how a deeper, holistic analysis can uncover underlying issues affecting fertility that standard labs might miss. I highlight the importance of analyzing the whole body, including (but not limited to) hormone tests like the DUTCH Test, lifestyle factors, nutrition and environmental influences. The episode also emphasizes the need for personalized approaches to fertility.

Have you ever found yourself reaching for a new supplement because it should help your estrogen, your sleep, or your energy—only to feel exactly the same… or worse? I get it. The wellness world is overwhelming. You want to feel better, but where do you even start? Here's the thing: Your body is not a one-size-fits-all equation. That's why testing—not guessing—is the key to finally understanding what's actually going on beneath the surface. Enter: The DUTCH Test. This at-home urine test is like getting a personal roadmap to your hormones. Instead of throwing spaghetti at the wall with supplements and hoping for the best, the DUTCH test shows you exactly where your imbalances are, what's driving your symptoms, and how to fix them with a targeted approach. Let me share a quick story. A client of mine—a total rockstar athlete—came to me exhausted. She'd tried everything: cleaner eating, more sleep, different workouts. Nothing worked. She thought her stress was too high. But when we ran a DUTCH test? Her stress hormones were actually too low. She wasn't just stressed—she was burnt out. And all the stress-reducing techniques she was using? They were actually making things worse. Moral of the story? Without testing, it's easy to go in the completely wrong direction. Hormones control everything—your energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, skin, digestion… So why are we still throwing darts in the dark when we could be using science-backed, personalized data to get real answers? If you've been struggling and feeling stuck, here's your sign: It's time to stop guessing and start testing. DUTCH Test: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/
Have you ever walked out of the doctor's office, blood test results in hand, only to hear those dreaded words: “Everything looks normal!” Meanwhile, you're exhausted, your hormones are all over the place, your energy is in the basement, and you just know something is off. So now what? Just accept that feeling like a tired, cranky version of yourself is the new normal? Nope, not today. Let me introduce you to a new approach to your health: the DUTCH test. Unlike a standard blood test (which takes a quick snapshot of your hormone levels at one moment in time), the DUTCH test is a urine test that shows you the full story of what's happening in your body over a 24-hour period. It looks at: ✅ Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and adrenal markers ✅ Free vs. bound hormones (hello, actual usable hormones!) ✅ Cortisol patterns (because stress and energy matter) ✅ Nutrient metabolites like B12, B6, and glutathione ✅ Even neurotransmitters like dopamine and melatonin! Basically, it's like the full diagnostic workup for your body instead of a quick glance under the hood. Imagine going for a bike ride. A blood test is like checking to see if the bike technically has two wheels. A DUTCH test? It's making sure the tires are fully inflated, the chain is running smoothly, and the brakes actually work—so you don't just move, you thrive. And here's the kicker: if you were to order all these tests separately, you'd be looking at over $1,200 (ouch!). But a DUTCH test bundles them together for a fraction of the cost. More info, fewer headaches, and actual insights that can help you feel like you again. So if you're tired of feeling off and getting zero answers, it might be time to take a deeper dive.

Today, I am thrilled to speak with Dr. Cory Jones to delve into the concept of the "middle pause," which refers to the transition from perimenopause to menopause. We'll examine how lifestyle habits that were effective in women's 20s and 30s may lose their efficacy during this phase. Dr. Jones emphasizes the reduced capacity to "burn the candle at both ends" and the transition from people-pleasing to more straightforward communication. We'll cover the behavioral impacts of hormonal changes, the significance of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the importance of adrenal health. We both stress the need for women to seek supportive healthcare providers and embrace this transitional period. Tune in! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: The concept of "middle pause," encompassing perimenopause and menopause Changes in lifestyle habits and their effectiveness during this transitional phase Decline of people-pleasing tendencies and the shift toward direct communication Impact of hormonal changes on behavior and emotional responses Understanding physiological changes, including hormonal imbalances Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and its effects on mood and well-being Relationship dynamics and challenges faced by women during this transition Self-advocacy and finding supportive healthcare providers Connection between hormonal changes and food sensitivities or allergies Education and awareness regarding health and wellness during aging Bio: Dr. Carrie Jones Dr. Carrie Jones is an internationally recognized speaker, consultant, author, and educator on the topic of women's health and hormones with over 20 years in the industry.

One of the most valuable tests she recommends is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), which provides a long-term look at nutrient levels, mineral imbalances, and heavy metal exposure. Since minerals are the foundation of optimal hormone function, ensuring they are in balance is key to feeling your best. Tara also highlights the importance of stool testing for gut health and explains why she considers blood work essential for tracking long-term trends in metabolic and hormonal health. On the flip side, she advises against spending money on hormone testing (like the DUTCH test) in perimenopause, as hormone levels fluctuate too much to provide reliable data. She also discusses why organic acids tests and food sensitivity panels often lead to unnecessary treatments instead of addressing root causes. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by lab testing options, this episode will give you clarity on where to focus your efforts—and your budget. In this episode: The problem with unnecessary lab testing – Many women waste money on tests that don't provide useful insights. HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) – A must-have test that offers a deep look at mineral levels, nutrient imbalances, and heavy metals affecting hormone health. Stool testing – Essential for gut health, which impacts everything from digestion to hormone metabolism. Blood work – Important for tracking metabolic trends, inflammation markers, and overall health over time. Why hormone testing isn't helpful in perimenopause – Hormone levels fluctuate daily, making tests like DUTCH unreliable for assessing estrogen and progesterone levels. Why organic acids and food sensitivity tests aren't necessary – These tests often lead to additional unnecessary testing instead of targeting true root causes. How to make informed choices – Focus on testing that provides actionable data and long-term health benefits.

I am joined by Dr. Kelly Ruef from Dutch, a naturopathic physician with a strong interest in biochemistry, biochemical pathways, and natural hormone pathways. She will explain how tools like the Dutch Test can help uncover what is happening beneath the surface and provide steps you can take to feel better.What You'll Learn in This Episode: - The Role of Hormonal Fluctuations in PMS and PMDD* We dive into why some women experience extreme symptoms during the luteal phase and the role hormones like progesterone and estrogen play in mood regulation. - The Connection Between Progesterone and GABA Dr. Kelly explains how progesterone and its metabolites impact GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter that helps regulate anxiety, irritability, and sleep. We explore why low progesterone—or how your body processes it can lead to anxiety, irritability, and poor sleep. - Understanding Estrogen Dominance Ever feel overly emotional, get headaches, or have heavy periods? These can all be signs of too much estrogen relative to progesterone. We also discuss how the balance between estrogen and progesterone plays a critical role. - The Paradoxical GABA Response Dr. Kelly uncovers the phenomenon where some women experience increased anxiety and irritability during their luteal phase due to a paradoxical response to progesterone metabolites. - Why the Dutch Test is a Game Changer Learn how this advanced hormone test provides a full picture of your hormonal health, helping uncover the root cause of your symptoms. - Cholesterol, Lipids, and Estrogen Explore the surprising link between estrogen and lipid health and why low estrogen can affect cholesterol levels.

For anyone who has been paying attention, you may already know that the takeaways related to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) from the original Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study have been completely overhauled. It's about time! As a result, it's not an understatement to say that we are in the midst of a total transformation in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and it's essential that as providers we (1) get up to speed on the nuances of the new interpretations and (2) learn how to personalize the guidance we give. Dr. Allison Smith, from Precision Analytical, is really a bright, guiding light in this new era of hormone care. She joins me in this episode of New Frontiers to start to unpack some of those important considerations and share resources for where practitioners can learn more. She explains why more detailed hormone metabolite testing can provide answers to hormonal symptoms when standard serum measures of testosterone and estrogen are “normal.” She also shines a light on the need for understanding how our patients are metabolizing hormones, especially if they are on HRT as well as to optimize their long-term cardiovascular, bone, skin, and brain health. This is indispensable listening and I'm sure you'll enjoy this conversation as much as I did. - DrKF Check out the show notes at https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ for the full list of links and resources.

Welcome back, Heal Squad! In part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Sara Szal, we dive deeper into the underlying hormone that could be the culprit to so many things we struggle with from depression and mental health to the onset of autoimmune diseases. She shares ways you can manage and lower cortisol before it causes the onset of autoimmune conditions and the importance of personalized medicine—it's not a one-size-fits-all approach! PLUS we explore how autoimmune diseases can actually go into remission with lifestyle changes, an elimination diet, and even psychedelic-assisted therapies like MDMA for deep-rooted trauma healing. Dr. Szal gets real about the impact of “big T” and “little t” traumas, explaining how they live in our bodies and contribute to illness. You're going to want to take notes on this one, friends! HEALERS AND HEAL-LINERS: Test, don't guess. It's important to get your cortisol levels under control before they dip too low, leading to the potential onset of autoimmune diseases. She recommends a “test, don't guess” approach using the Dutch test, which looks at five different cortisol levels throughout the day. Signs of lower cortisol levels: Fatigue, Low blood pressure, Low mood, Fainting, Loss of appetite These micronutrients can make a huge impact on your cortisol and stress levels: Vitamin C, B6, and Magnesium. Dr. Szal shares how autoimmune diseases can go into remission through personalized approaches like elimination diets, managing leaky gut, and trauma therapies. She mentions her success in reversing autoimmune markers like antinuclear antibodies (ANA). Psychedelic-assisted therapy can be a major resolution for deep-rooted trauma. Dr. Szal explains that using MDMA-assisted therapy to resolve trauma can help resolve long-lasting effects on both mental and physical health. This approach helps in reconstructing one's narrative and reducing fear responses tied to trauma. (Please note this method is not FDA approved.)

Hey, Heal Squad! Wondering why you're feeling anxious, depressed, not getting enough sleep, or feeling that afternoon fatigue that you just can't get rid of? Dr. Sara Szal might have the answer, especially if you're one of the 24 million Americans affected by autoimmune conditions. Hint: It could be your cortisol! And if you haven't heard much about cortisol, it's because primary care physicians rarely test for this…Dr. Szal shares how cortisol, impacts everything from mental health to autoimmune disease, and why many women experience hormone shifts much earlier than they think. We unpack the role trauma plays in all of this too, signs you might have high cortisol, and steps you can take to get your cortisol levels in check. I can't believe how little I knew about cortisol considering how many autoimmune conditions I have. This is a MUST LISTEN! HEALERS AND HEAL-LINERS: Cortisol (aka the “stress hormone”) is often overlooked, especially in women, even though it plays a major role in both our physical and mental health. Staying stuck in fight or flight can cause major fluctuations in cortisol levels, which can lead to the onset of autoimmunity. Hormone imbalances can start earlier than you think. It's not something that waits until you're in your 40s, these hormone imbalances can occur as young as your 20s! Signs of high cortisol levels: Anxiety, Depression, Weight gain/belly fat, High blood sugar, High blood pressure, Brain fog, Low sex drive, and Poor sleep Chronic stress can actually shrink your brain, especially for women, and can lead to the onset of Alzheimer's.
