13. Parasites & Women’s Health: What’s Hype, What’s Real with Hilary Beckwith

Think you’d know if you had a parasite? Not always. From mystery bloat and skin flares to anxiety and stubborn weight changes, parasites can hide in biofilms and mimic a dozen other issues. In this episode, we separate fear-based trends from facts—and talk through a safe, bio-individual approach.

I’m joined by Hilary Beckwith, a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who is also Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition. She offers weight-inclusive and anti-diet nutrition counseling to women and female-bodied individuals with Pain and PCOS symptoms. By digging deeper to pinpoint and address root causes of inflammation and PCOS symptoms, Hilary helps clients reconnect with their body's intuition and fill in the gaps between what their doctor is saying and how their symptoms show up.

In this episode:

Parasites 101: worms vs. protozoa, where they come from and why modern life doesn’t make you immune.
Symptoms beyond the gut: skin issues, anxiety, sleep changes, immune “never sick” red flags, hormone imbalance, persistent pain.
GI signs to watch: diarrhea/constipation, bloat/gas, ulcers, excessive hunger, and nutrient theft (hello, low iron).
Testing vs. guessing: when a GI-MAP helps, what to do if it’s negative but symptoms scream “something’s off,” and how we prep clients for more meaningful results.
Who should not cleanse: why “everyone needs a quarterly parasite cleanse” is irresponsible.
