Women’s Health and Hormones
It’s time to move beyond birth control and take charge of your hormones naturally.
If you have been to a conventional gynecologist for help getting your period back on track, managing fibroids or ovarian cyst or easing the emotional ups and downs of PMS or PMDD, you might have been disappointed that the only thing they could offer you was birth control, antidepressants, surgery or no solution at all. You probably left their office confused, misunderstood and defeated because you knew that deep down inside that your hormones were out of balance and there was another option to bring them back into harmony.
Now for the good news, your body is actually capable of hormonal balance. Your reproductive years and even your time beyond menopause could be more easeful and full of grace. The solution is not taking synthetic progesterone and estrogen in the form of birth control to bring back your period or making bleeding or cramping more bearable by stamping out your period. Rather it is uncovering the cause of why your hormones are out of balance in the first place.
Our body runs on the delicate interplay of various hormones. Our adrenal glands produce the hormones of stress regulation; cortisol and adrenaline. Our Paleolithic ancestors depended on the “flight or fight” response produced by cortisol and adrenaline to prevent them from being eaten by a saber tooth tiger. Today it seems our adrenal glands get shocked when we have an unexpected meeting with a boss or we experience traffic delays. Progesterone and estrogen produced in our ovaries under the direction of our HPA axis govern our fertility. The core of our metabolism is found in the butterfly shaped gland in our neck, the thyroid. Thyroid hormones control metabolism in the majority of our tissues.
Our high stress and no rest world can easily throw any of these hormones off balance. Other factors such as diet, sleep, environmental toxins and nutrient deficiencies also play a part. With naturopathic doctor, Dr Ivy Branin, on your side you can finally have hormonal harmony. She will under cover the cause and through a personalized natural approach of diet, lifestyle, herbal medicine and nutrient therapies you should be able to say by to hormonal birth control for good.
