Did your doctor tell you the pill will fix all your period problems? perhaps they told you it would help manage perimenopause?
Sure, the synthetic hormones will mask your symptoms. But it’s not getting to the ROOT causes. So meanwhile, the underlying issues are getting worse, & eventually need to be addressed.
Ex: inflammation, mineral imbalances, gut infections, hormone imbalances, toxic overload, metabolic syndrome, nutrient deficiencies etc.
Synthetic hormones also shut off your natural hormones & disrupt biological processes in the body which depend on the natural rhythm of your estradiol & progesterone.
⚡️Newsflash, hormones aren’t just *optional*. Our body needs them to thrive.
Here are just a few of the reasons why I don’t recommend relying on hormonal birth control (HBC) to fix your hormonal symptoms, like acne, cramping, heavy bleeding, headaches, and more:
❌ HBC robs your body of nutrients by blocking your body’s ability to absorb them (b vitamins, selenium, zinc, magnesium, etc). These nutrient deficiencies can cause further symptoms, such as chronic fatigue, migraines, and much more.
❌ HBC impacts s*x hormones & often permanently- SHBG (s*x hormone binding globulin) regulates how much active hormones are found in our blood and HBC has been found to elevate SHBG, sometimes permanently. The higher the levels of SHBG, the fewer free hormones we have to use, leading to fatigue, low libido, vaginal dryness, brain fog, anxiety & more.
❌ HBC harms gut health by causing imbalances in the bacteria making up your micribiome, creating the perfect storm for overgrowth, pathogens, parasites, and yeast. As a result, you’re left with: weight gain or loss, IBS, bloating, increased food sensitivities, and all other types of digestive disorders.
❌ Synthetic hormones impact mental health & have been shown to increase the risk of anxiety & depression.
