While as many as 60% of women are prescribed birth While as many as 60% of women are prescribed birth control for reasons other than pregnancy prevention, most women choose to stop use of birth control because they want to become pregnant. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Others are ready to stop taking synthetic hormones and want to establish their own menstrual cycle and a normal period again.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ For some women, they stop birth control – period returns – they get pregnant (if they want) – and life is great. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ But for many women, as they get off birth control, they struggle with symptom after symptom, many of which were the very reason they started birth control to begin with. 🧐​​​​​​​​ Keep in mind that for as long as a woman has been taking hormonal birth control, there has been ❌no communication between the brain and ovaries; ❌no estrogen or progesterone production, ❌no ovulation, ❌no period, ❌no natural menstrual cycle. This system has been completely “offline” and may require a few months up to 2 years or more to be restored. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Symptoms of Post Birth Control Syndrome include:​​​​​​​​ 👉PMS/heavy periods/frequent periods​​​​​​​​ 👉 Acne/skin issues​​​​​​​​ 👉 Mood swings​​​​​​​​ 👉 Post pill amenorrhea (no period)​​​​​​​​ 👉 Infertility​​​​​​​​ 👉 Pill-induced PCOS​​​​​​​​ 👉 Hypothyroid​​​​​​​​ 👉 Gut dysfunction​​​​​​​​ 👉 Autoimmune symptoms​​​​​​​​ The good news is that you CAN heal your body and restore hormone balance after birth control through your daily lifestyle choices. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ This healing may take time, but I’ve watched my clients heal, restore their hormones, become pregnant, reverse chronic health conditions and live happy lives with healthy menstrual cycles. And so can you! 🙌​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Have you been on birth control (currently or in the past?) What has your experience been like?​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #birthcontrolproblems #periodpain #thepill #postbirthcontrolsyndrome #pbcs #perimenopause #pcos #autoimmunewarrior #guthealthmatters
Should you be worried about EMF exposure?​​​ Should you be worried about EMF exposure?​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ In the past, we have been assured that the non-ionizing radiation generated by cell phones, laptops, etc are not harmful. But there is a growing body of research that indicates EMF’s can have a negative effect on our health over time.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Research has linked EMF radiation and its effect on cellular activity to the following:​​​​​​​​ 👉Cancer - a series of studies showed an Increased risk of brain cancer in those who used cell phones, especially on the side they held the phone.​​​​​​​​ 👉Brain Health - studies have noted increased inflammation in the brain, neuron damage and cognitive impairment; headaches, fatigue, insomnia, irritability, inability to concentrate and changes in mood / depression.​​​​​​​​ 👉Thyroid Function - the cellular disruption from EMF’s can disrupt thyroid hormones and studies have shown altered levels of TSH, T4 and T3.​​​​​​​​ 👉Fertility - EMF’s may have harmful effects on male fertility. After exposure to EMF radiation, increased oxidation, lower sperm count and viability has been noted.​​​​​​​​ 👉Insomnia and Sleep Issues - EMF exposure can lower melatonin production, disrupt circadian rhythm and sleep​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ We can’t avoid EMF’s but we can do our best to mitigate exposure. Increase the distance between your phone and your body. Keep a barrier between your lap and laptop. Shut down the wi-fi router at night. Avoid high voltage power lines. AND…​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Add some additional protection using AiresTech EMF protection devices. These are simple devices designed to reduce the effects of electromagnetic radiation emitted by data-transmitting electronics, such as cell phones, laptops, Wi-Fi routers and more!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Use the link in my bio to get yours today!
I remember a time when I struggled to get out of b I remember a time when I struggled to get out of bed every morning 😩. I was exhausted, stressed out, and overwhelmed. I was anxious and depressed and didn’t understand what was wrong with me.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I used caffeine to wake up, again to get going, throughout the day to work and get things done, and then again in the evening to have the energy to spend time with my friends.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ To make things worse, the number on the scale was going up despite my regular exercise (fueled entirely by caffeine). My jeans didn’t fit. I didn’t feel confident. I didn’t feel like myself and it really wasn’t any fun.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I knew I needed help, so I hired a coach. I was ready for and expecting an intense workout plan and restrictive diet to get me back on track. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ 🌟INSTEAD, I got my first introduction to stress and hormones. He taught me that if I wanted to maintain my weight, have energy, feel good, have a positive mood, and love my life again, I needed to slow down, take a break, rest, relax and focus on bringing energy back into my body, rather than constantly exerting that energy.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ So that’s what I did. I started focusing on restorative exercises and activities. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I changed my eating habits to ensure I was actually nourishing my body. I increased my water intake and eventually gave up caffeine entirely. I prioritized myself and time for self-care.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Little by little, I started to feel better, happy, energetic, and confident…….more like myself! 🌟​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ This experience is what ignited my passion for helping women take control of their stress and hormones so they can feel better, have more energy, live confidently in their body and love their life.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ If you are struggling and need support, schedule a free call - link in bio – I want to help you feel like yourself again…and even better! ✨
