Let's talk about The Real Truth about Birth Control Pills that NO ONE Talks About!
If you've been diagnosed with PCOS, irregular periods, PMS, or any other menstrual or fertility issue, it's highly likely you've been prescribed birth control pills. But let’s take a deeper look at why I’m not a big fan of hormonal birth control—especially for masking PCOS symptoms.
Why? Because controlling your body with synthetic hormones can be highly damaging to your endocrine system, your gut microbiome, and even your long-term fertility. ⚠️These hormones halt the body’s natural detoxification process and disconnect you from your inner feminine wisdom. 🌸
And here’s the real kicker: Did you know the bleeding you experience on the pill isn’t actually a real period? It’s called withdrawal bleeding—triggered by a drop in synthetic hormones.
💥Boom! Sorry to burst your bubble, but this is something you need to know.
The list of the harmful effects of birth control pills is endless in long run. Yet, they’re still the most common band-aid solution doctors turn to for chronic endocrine issues. Doctors often prescribe the pill to “solve” symptoms.The pill may make symptoms disappear, but it doesn’t actually solve anything.
The symptoms disappear solely because the pill is designed to cover them up. That said, the root causes of all your symptoms simmer beneath the surface unchecked and come back with a vengeance once the pill is stopped. The longer they continue to be unaddressed, the harder it becomes to treat them. Not only that, but the pill can also potentially destroy microbiome, suppress ovulation, increase inflammation as well as lead to several micronutrient deficiencies.
So, yes! Quitting the pill will potentially be one of the most empowering things you do in the entire process of hormonal healing.
Do you also feel like you’ve been scammed by the birth control pill? Because I sure do.
Looking back at my visits to the gynecologist, I can’t recall a time when I wasn’t handed a prescription for birth control. It was almost routine: make an appointment, mention hormonal imbalance symptoms, and leave with a prescription for a 21-day, 24-day, or 27-day pill.
According to many doctors:
Got acne? Take the pill.
Got PMS? Take the pill.
Got irregular cycles? Take the pill.
But wait a minute—is this really the solution?
Why not, instead:
Address gut health to reduce inflammation, digestive issues, and food sensitivities for acne?
Replenish nutrient deficiencies naturally to boost progesterone and reduce PMS?
Focus on proper nutrition and hormone synthesis to support regular cycles?
Have a real conversation about relationship and contraceptive options that don’t involve synthetic hormones?
It’s time to stop masking the symptoms.
It’s time to rethink the pill.
It's time to start healing your body from the inside out.
It's time to heal the root cause -naturally and holistically.🌿✨
