Knowing Your Body: Personalized Supplements and Advocating for Yourself in Women's Healthcare

Knowing Your Body: Personalized Supplements and Advocating for Yourself in Women's Healthcare30 jun41 min

Personalized supplements for women's health are everywhere right now, but Suzie Welsh Devine, RN, MSN built the first one. In 2016 she founded Binto because she kept watching women get handed a generic prenatal, a one-size multivitamin, and a twelve-minute appointment, then sent home to figure out the rest on Google at midnight. In this episode we talk about what personalized actually means, how to read your own cycle, and what genuinely changes from your period years through perimenopause.

When is the last time a provider asked what you actually need? Not the protocol. Not the standard dose. Not what they recommend to every woman your age. You.

For a lot of us, the honest answer is never. That gap, between what women need and what we actually get, is the whole reason Suzie built Binto.

Suzie Welsh Devine is the founder and CEO of Binto, the first personalized women's health supplement brand, formulated and founded by licensed providers. She is a former IVF and fertility nurse who spent years at the bedside before deciding to build the thing she kept wishing existed for her patients.

What she brings to this conversation is a clinician's eye and a refusal to oversell. She reads labs before she recommends anything. She builds for prevention rather than prescription. And she will tell you plainly where supplements actually help and where they are just marketing dressed up as science.

Together we talk candidly about:

What "personalized" actually requires clinically, and what it does not mean

The myth that a prescription prenatal is automatically better than what you can buy over the counter

Why your menstrual cycle is a vital sign, plus a clear walk through all four phases

What really shifts in perimenopause, and why brain fog is not in your head

HRT after the black box warning came off, and what to keep supplementing alongside it

Why vitamin D and K2 belong together
