VGP's Wellness Series - Why Stress Hits Women Differently: The Hormone Connection

VGP is thrilled to introduce new voices and unique perspectives to help you explore more ways to improve your personal health and wellness, brought to you by Zoetis. On November 19th, join us with special guest, Dr. Beth Westie, a Functional Medicine Practitioner, chiropractor, best-selling author, and a dedicated advocate for women's health and hormone balance.

Women often feel the effects of stress more intensely than men, which causes a myriad of symptoms from burnout and fatigue to brain fog and sleep disruptions — and there’s a physiological reason why. The female body is uniquely sensitive to stress, leading to a greater and more immediate impact on hormonal balance, energy, mood, and overall wellbeing.

Dr. Beth Westie, a leading expert in women’s health, hormones, and nutrition, will break down how stress interacts with the female endocrine system and why women experience stress differently. She’ll also share practical, actionable strategies you can begin using today to help your body regulate stress more effectively and support long-term hormonal health and vitality!

About Dr. Beth:

Dr. Beth Westie is a Functional Medicine Practitioner, chiropractor, best-selling author, and a dedicated advocate for women's health and hormone balance.

She believes that when women understand their hormones, they unlock the power to transform their health. After struggling with ovarian cysts and seeking answers from multiple doctors, she was told that birth control was her only option. Instead of accepting that answer, she turned to her Eastern medicine training, delved into research, and discovered how to naturally support her hormones through nutrition. This journey led her to develop the Eat for Your Cycle™ Method, a science-backed approach that helps women sync their nutrition with their hormones to feel their best every day.

Since then, Dr. Westie has made it her mission to change the way women view their health. As the author of The Female Fat Solution and The Female Menopause Solution, and the host of The Female Health Solution Podcast, she has helped thousands of women regain control of their bodies, balance their hormones, and optimize their health naturally.

Through her Hormone Foundations Program, online programs, and speaking engagements across the country, she is committed to putting the power back in women's hands. She doesn’t just teach women how to "fix" their hormones—she empowers them with the tools to heal themselves. Because real transformation doesn’t happen in a doctor’s office—it happens in the choices women make every day.

Dr. Westie believes that the body has the wisdom to heal, and she is dedicated to showing women how to unlock that potential.
