let’s chat all things hormones —
if you’re a guy, keep scrolling🙃 my journey of hormones and my cycle is anything far from normal. most of my life I was on birth control, around 8 years to be exact. my periods were heavy, very painful, bad bloating, and cause flare ups in acne. I remember my mom taking me home from middle school because the pain was so bad. it wasn’t until I was 22 that I thought to myself, will bring on birth control most my life effect my chances of getting pregnant later? by this time in my life I was on my third type of birth control. I had gained 20-25 lbs, my hair was falling out, and had terrible acne.
I made the decision to stop taking it. I didn’t get my period for an entire YEAR. I lost a bunch of weight, acne got even worse, but I remained hopeful. I started looking into natural ways to help my cycles be somewhat regular as well as cope with the dreaded symptoms when the time came that I’d get my period.
I found products to add to my natural toolbox and in time, my period came and my cycles started to get into a groove over months of me being consistent and tracking. I now am super passionate about helping others find what works for them to help their cycle regularity and symptoms that come with their periods because it’s brought me such relief and power in knowing I helping my body get back to its “normal” rhythm.
