In this episode, I’m opening up about my own journey with PCOS, multiple autoimmune conditions, and how functional testing—especially the DUTCH test—has changed everything for me and the women I work with.

For years, I pushed through health challenges: PCOS, Hashimoto’s, celiac, even mysterious skin flares from annuloma granulare. Add to that the exhaustion, thyroid struggles, ovarian cysts after childbirth, and the rollercoaster of perimenopause symptoms—and I know firsthand what it feels like when your body seems to betray you.

Like so many women, I was raised in the “no pain, no gain” culture. I kept going, even when I was so weak I couldn’t carry my baby in his car seat without stopping. Doctors gave me creams, steroids, and quick fixes, but nothing addressed the deeper issue: my body was desperately out of balance.

That’s when testing became my lifeline. Not just blood work, but the DUTCH test—a comprehensive hormone panel that shows exactly how your body is producing and processing hormones. With it, I learned how my cortisol, thyroid, estrogen, and progesterone were really functioning—and how to actually support them.

Here’s why this matters:

• Symptoms overlap. Fatigue, hair loss, weight gain, irregular cycles—it could be thyroid, adrenals, perimenopause, or PCOS. Without testing, it’s guesswork.

• Numbers don’t lie. The DUTCH test gives you black-and-white data that takes away the uncertainty.

• No one-size-fits-all fixes. The results guide a plan tailored to your unique body—nutrition, supplements, lifestyle, and sometimes simply rest.

I see this with clients all the time. So many women wait, punishing themselves, thinking they just need to “try harder.” But the truth is—you don’t need to push harder. You need the right information about your body so you can finally work with it instead of against it.

If you’ve ever wondered, Am I in perimenopause? Is this my thyroid? Do I have PCOS flares?, the DUTCH test is the place to start. It gives us the roadmap, so you stop guessing and start healing.

Don’t wait years like I did. Don’t wait until you’re completely burned out. Get answers now: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/
