In today's video I'm going to share How to Get Your Period Back After Birth Control. I was on birth control for 10 years before deciding to go off the pill so I could experience my natural cycle, without the impact of a pill controlling my hormones. When I finally made the jump at got off the pill, I lost my period for 2 full years afterwards! I had to change my diet, my supplements, and how frequently I ate... in addition to learning how to manage my stress and cortisol so that my body could get back to a regular menstrual cycle! Now, my period comes like clockwork every month, and I even got rid of severe cramping that I once had. Don't get me wrong, it took time, nutrition, and care to get my body here... but I want to share all of my tips with YOU if you've been thinking of going off the pill, or if you're already experiencing hormonal imbalance post-pill. #sponsored #hormonehealth #dietitian

    To add to why Omega-3s are so beneficial (sorry my brain was not at full capacity when shooting!) a) they may help reduce reduce testosterone in women with higher levels b) they may help reduce prostaglandins (too much of these can result in painful inflammation) A few studies sharing the research on this topic: 🌟Omega 3 supplementation on Androgen Profile & Menstrual Status in Women with PCOS: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3941370/ 🌟Fish Oil for Dysmenorrhea www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3770499/

    Hi Angie! If your period doesn't come back after what your doctor prescribed for you, touch base with them again and let them know. It's definitely not comforting when our period doesn't come back for a long time.. I feel your pain, but don't give up! 💙 I recommend looking up "Composed Nutrition" - she's a dietitian who has a course & lots of free into as well on periods/missing periods, etc. She could provide even more info than in this video! I also highly recommend The Better Period Food Solution book which I have linked in the description. It's a great overall view of how to tweak your diet to help bring your period back/help regulate it once you get it back. I can't provide prescriptive advice without working 1:1 with you, but if there's any general questions that would be helpful for me to address in a future video - let me know! Take care!

    I definitely experienced this and I know we're not alone in this experience!! The pill makes it so you have consistent flow of hormones, so when you're going off of that, any hormonal imbalances that were present before tend to kick it back into high gear. Good idea for a future video topic!! 💙✨

Sometimes it's a matter of letting your body level itself out, like I did with the tips mentioned in this video. However, sometimes there are underlying concerns that might need to be addressed directly with your doc.

    I got off of hormonal birth control last August after being on the pill for nine years. I did have withdrawal bleed for the first two months being off the pill but I haven't gotten my regular cycle yet. I really wish doctors would take time to explain what birth control really does to your mind and body . Did birth control make you gain weight? I gained about 40 pounds

    Thanks for watching, Gina ✨ I truly wish it were common practice for doctors to explain the possible side effects of hormonal birth control too! I was never once told anything about taking a multivitamin to counterbalance the nutrients that birth control can deplete. I did notice that after I got off birth control my body changed quite a bit, particularly my stomach. It all makes sense looking back, but I think they need an in-depth talk with every woman looking to go on birth control so they know exactly what to expect, and can choose to go off of it if they notice symptoms they don't want. Most women deal with it for so long they feel like it's just "normal"!

    Hi Ailyn! You bring up a good question! When breastfeeding it's actually normal to have no period (some women have a very light period). Breastfeeding elevates hormones so your body doesn't menstruate during this time. Definitely check with your doctor if you have any concerns now, or if it doesn't come back after you stop breastfeeding 😊 Hope that helps!

    Completely disagree with consuming a high carb diet this causes insulin resistance and the body performs better running on Ketones as a fuel source. Telling people who are insulin resistant to eat more carbs/ sugar is horrible advice and you will be causing them more problems. Please do some research not everyone is safe to run on glucose and most people are obese and glucose caused the obesity. Eating non stop every 3-4 hours spikes insulin so again horrible advice!!!

    Hello! First and foremost, I’m an advocate for what works for you individually. If you find that works for you long term… continue to do what works well! There are some people that do better on keto; but my advice applies to the 99.9% not the 0.1%. There is a long end extensive body of research on carbohydrate counting for helping insulin resistance (not to mention that glucose is our bodies preferred and most utilized source of energy… when we don’t get enough glucose our body has a pathway called gluconeogenesis where we literally make glucose from fat and protein because our bodies need it THAT MUCH for survival.) and there is very minimal research on keto and how it impacts our health with the exception of being proven to help (in some scenarios) with epileptic seizures. I go by research and experience not by what the latest influencer, celebrity or person with no background in nutrition science is preaching has been working for them for 1 year. Our bodies are not designed to be in ketosis long term, it’s a survival mechanism not something that we’re meant or designed to do forever and always. Not to mention it wouldn’t be financially or agriculturally feasible for everyone to do keto just on the environmental impact it would have alone. So I respectfully challenge your comment on this being “poor advice” because it is backed by years of legitimate science and research proven both in scientific studies, with clients I’ve worked with, and with decades of nutrition and health experts (doctors and registered dietitians) helping their clients. PS - An over consumption of any macro nutrient will result in weight gain over time. Not carbohydrates.

    She didn’t target her advice towards those who are insulin resistant. Her advice is geared towards the general public, to which carbs are a necessary part of a balanced diet. While keto may be great for some who ARE insulin resistant and looking to lose weight, it’s also a fad concept that often promotes eating things like cheese, bacon, etc. in unnaturally large quantities. She is right, carbs are the bodies “preferred” source of energy, they are the most bioavailable source. Her advice is supported by scientific evidence, so it’s a little uncalled for to call it terrible advice.
