Beyond the Pill: A 30-Day Program to Balance Your Hormones, Reclaim Your Body, and Reverse the Dangerous Side Effects of the Birth Cont by Jolene Brighten

3.0

I enjoyed most of this book for the knowledge and science surrounding hormonal birth control and women’s health since my own doctors weren’t helping me figure out issues with my own oral contraceptive and hormonal imbalance concerns. It came highly recommended online and assisted me with my decision to transition off of hormonal birth control and get on a path to a natural, healthier body. However, the portion of the book that discusses what to do after going off of the pill lost my interest. Some of the things recommended didn’t work and the author’s push is largely about making money on her own overpriced branded supplements that are probably not necessary and might take advantage of helpless, lost folks with period issues that feel like they need it or would rather try that then seek the medical care they actually need. I’m excited to read the Period Repair Manual next by Lara Briden.
