i’d like to talk to you about the dark

side

of the birth control pill

now

this is fascinating because there

actually is no

real estrogen or progesterone

in

a birth control pill what you do have is

a synthetic version

altered in a way to mimic

estrogen and progesterone okay but it

has

some slight minor complications it comes

with a package it can increase your risk

of heart attacks high blood pressure

stroke blood clots

breast cancer dementia depression acne

mood swings it can even trigger

autoimmune diseases

especially lupus

it can cause you to gain weight by

increasing

cortisol

and insulin it can also deplete you of

zinc

selenium

magnesium b12 another side effect it can

create is something called melasma which

is

like a hyperpigmentation of your skin

where your the pigment of your skin is

darker in like a rash form

also it can alter the microbiome not

only in your gut

but in the vaginal canal as well now

when you think about the reason why

women take the pill

mainly to prevent getting pregnant but

they also might take it to prevent heavy

cycles and have you bleeding okay so

there’s various reasons why women take

it so the birth control pill basically

tricks the brain and shuts down

ovulation ovulation is

usually about right around day 14 when

there’s a release of the egg so by

taking the birth control pill

you shut down ovulation and you also

shut down menses so you typically you

don’t have bleeding even though some

women still do spot but what a lot of

women don’t realize is when you take

this pill

you are shutting down the production

of estrogen and progesterone you see

in a monthly cycle

a woman has a spike of estrogen at day

14 and then they have

this other

increase of progesterone the second half

of the month so this is very different

than men that make testosterone on a

daily basis but women make their two

hormones progesterone and estrogen

more with like two major spikes not

necessarily

every day

so the problem is when we remove this

okay

we’re not looking at the effects long

term i’m talking about the long-term

effects that can occur after menopause

to the bone even longevity you see the

reason why women live longer than men

really has to do with estrogen estrogen

can act as an antioxidant

but all this is kind of depressing if

you’re taking the pill or considering

a birth control so what

should you do well let’s just take a

look at the effectiveness of how well

these birth control pill methods work of

preventing pregnancies okay so

the pill is between 93 to 99

effective depending on how well that you

use the pill and follow directions okay

then we have vaginal rings which is 93

effective you also have iuds you have

the hormone version which is 94

effective and you have the copper iud

which is 99

effective now the copper iud which i did

a video on

is a bit better than birth control

because it has less side effects but it

does come with

certain complications

condoms 87 effective but this next one

is something that you should look into i

like it it’s fda cleared it’s called

natural cycle birth control it’s an app

that you track you don’t have to use any

creams or medications or anything and

it’s actually pretty effective it’s

between 93 and 98 effective depending on

how well you implement it and you follow

the instructions

i mean considering some of the side

effects from some of these compared to

this

it’s definitely something to look into

so i put a link down below

so you can do some research on this

method right here because this may be a

safe solution

now if you’ve been in the pill or decide

to continue on the pill

i would highly recommend the same time

you do things to counter some of the

the chemicals that are in your liver and

i would recommend

beefing up no pun intended your

cruciferous vegetables as well

as fermented vegetables i’m talking

about sauerkraut and kimchi and maybe

even a good probiotic

as well as taking

more zinc selenium

b12

and magnesium to counter

the deficiencies that this pill has

created now one last point if you’re

taking the pill for other reasons let’s

say you are trying to

avoid a heavy period

this is the video that you should see
