Why I Ditched Birth Control

I have become a major advocate for women and girls getting off of birth control. The reality is, as much as we have been told that it’s a healthy and safe choice, more and more studies are showing that birth control is a carcinogen that can increase the risk of multiple forms of cancer while also causing long lasting hormonal and reproductive damage.

When I was on birth control, my skin was a mess. I had insane cystic acne that didn’t respond to any treatments available. I also was constantly bloated, had excess abdominal weight, poor mental health, painful periods, and the list goes on. When I tell you that I felt IMMEDIATE relief upon removing my IUD, I mean it. I immediately felt like myself again. My skin cleared up within weeks, my weight fell off, and my personality felt like myself again.

If you experience symptoms of hormonal imbalance, please consider natural options over birth control. There is often so much you can do at a root cause level to heal your hormones. If you want more info on my lifestyle, diet, and supplement changes that healed my hormones, comment and let me know!
