Understanding PCOS, Insulin Resistance/Blood Sugar Balance & Perimenopausal Changes with Brie Wieselman, Integrative Practitioner (From Personal & Professional Experience Helping Women THRIVE).

This week Rye & Jess chat with Brie Wieselman, licensed primary care provider and medical director of Brie Wieselman Integrative Health. Besides being an expert in hormone balance, fertility, and perimenopause, Brie specializes in helping people heal digestive problems such as IBS, Ulcerative Colitis, parasitic infections, Candida overgrowth, and SIBO to rebuild a bulletproof microbiome. During this conversation, Brie shares her experience getting diagnosed with PCOS as a teen, and how she was able to relieve severe symptoms through lifestyle and nutrition adjustments. Brie explains how PCOS is diagnosed, the connection to insulin resistance, and actionable steps to become more insulin sensitive. Brie shares her honest opinion on herbs and supplements for PCOS and insulin resistance, and when it’s necessary to use medication like metformin and spironolactone, as well as thoughts on hormonal birth control.   Brie also gets vulnerable about the ups and downs she experienced in perimenopause – including being pregnant with gestational diabetes, having a baby at 40 during covid then experiencing back to back life-changing circumstances in her personal life.    We are so grateful to Brie for being so honest with us, as well as for the incredible work she does helping women every day!
