women have never been educated on how our cycles actually work!!!
we donât know whatâs normal, whatâs not, or how to support our hormones day-to-day or phase by phase. so we feel desperate, disconnected from our intuition, and convinced medication is our only option.
*to be clear* weâre not anti-conventional medicine. weâre so grateful for when we truly need it. we all personally went on hormonal birth control at one point, not even because of major health problems, but because it was what everyone told us to do. it was âthe responsible choice,â the norm, the box to check to be preventative. and yet, we were given zero education about how it really worked, the possible side effects, or the long-term impacts. for us, it brought short-term relief but also came with side effects, and it never touched the root problems we didnât even know were there. there is absolutely a time and place for medication, and some women truly need it.
but the reality is, the majority of us have never been shown another way.
your body was designed to ovulate for a reason. estrogen + progesterone play massive roles in both short- and long-term health. shutting them down might feel like relief in the moment, but it doesnât solve the root.
what we need now more than ever is education and support. when we learn how to eat, move, rest, and live in ways that align with our cycles, we stop feeling broken⌠and start feeling at home in our bodies again!! â¨
were you ever put on hormonal birth control for period or cycle health issues??
