Dear ,

 

Hormonal birth control is often prescribed as a quick fix—for PMS, irregular cycles, acne, or pregnancy prevention.

 

What most women are never told is what these medications actually do inside the body.

 

Hormonal birth control doesn’t balance hormones. It suppresses ovulation and replaces your body’s natural hormone signaling with synthetic hormones—sometimes masking symptoms, sometimes creating new ones.

 

Even hormonal IUDs, often described as “local,” can affect the brain, nervous system, and progesterone production.

 

I’ve written a new article explaining:

• how hormonal birth control really works
• why symptoms often improve temporarily but return
• what happens to hormones, gut health, and nutrient status
• and what a root-cause approach looks like after suppression

 

If you’ve ever been on birth control—or are considering it—this is important information.
