The Hidden Costs of Using "Hormonal" Contraceptives
Join Dr. Nash and Dr. Nayak, founders of Feminology, as they explore the hidden costs of "hormonal" contraceptives on the biochemical, nutritional and mental/emotional levels. They will also discuss the many natural ways of balancing hormones and why a healthy menstrual cycle is essential to a woman's overall health.
Did you know, an estimated 150 million women worldwide are using "the pill" (or hormonal implants and IUDSs) for everything from irregular menses, endometriosis, acne, polycystic ovarian syndrome, dysmenorrhea, heavy bleeding, peri-menopausal changes and of course, birth control.
Oral contraceptives are so widely recommended one might think they are the panacea for all hormonal problems in women. Recognizing that the pill is perhaps the easiest way to prevent unwanted pregnancy for many women, there are hidden costs to one's health that most women are not told about from their gynecologists.
