Beyond the pill : a 30-day program to balance your hormones, reclaim your body, and reverse the dangerous side effects of the birth control pill
Brighten, Jolene2019
Book
Of the 100 million women who are on the pill, nearly 60 percent take it for noncontraceptive reasons like painful periods, endometriosis, PCOS, and acne. That's because the birth control pill is widely prescribed as a quick-fix solution to these and a variety of women's health conditions, with little to no investigation into their root causes and no plan for how women might heal naturally. What's worse, it can also result in other more serious and dangerous health consequences, including autoimmune disease, heart attack, thyroid and adrenal disorders, and even breast and cervical cancer. Jolene Brighten shares her proven 30-day program designed to heal the hormonal imbalance at the root of the uncomfortable and painful symptoms women experience every day. This is an actionable nutrition and lifestyle plan for reversing disease, detoxing your organs, boosting fertility, and making friends with your period in 30 life-changing days.
