149. The 411 on getting off birth control and healthy habits to balance hormone health

Today, we're diving into my journey getting off birth control and the lifestyle changes I've made to balance my hormones. I'll walk you through how I prepared my body to remove hormonal birth control, discuss the side effects I noticed, and share my research on the impact of birth control on our bodies. Additionally, I share what I'm doing now to balance my hormones, my list of favorite supplements, and other non-negotiable habits that have transformed my health.Note: around minute 16:00 when I mention excess progesterone, I meant to say excess estrogen.Resources mentioned:Women Code by Alisa VittiMoody Bitches by by Julie HollandAura RingBeam Dream (supplement for sleep)Binto SupplementsArrae Bloat PillsNutrafol (for hair growth)Elix (healing elixirs)Alive App (workouts)Peloton App (workouts)Flo app (cycle tracking)Simple Modern 40oz CupStudy: High cholesterol in women because of skipping breakfastToo Collective:NEW Too Classic Terry Cloth RobeToo Collective WebsiteToo Collective Affirmation TextsFollow Too Collective on InstagramFollow Alexis on Social Media:InstagramTikTokYouTubeAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy This is a public episode.
