Heal Your Hormones & Regain A Healthy Period

Your menstrual cycle can tell you a lot about your health.

Not getting your period at all or having irregular periods is not normal. And it shouldn't be overlooked.

Certain medications and birth control can cause your period to go missing or become irregular - but if you are not taking medications, your period can tell you a whole lot about your health.

Your menstrual cycle tells you if your hormones estrogen, progesterone, LH and FSH are working like they should. While your period is not the end all be all of your health, a normal period is a strong indicator that your body is getting everything it needs for your reproductive system to healthily function.

Also important to note - if you are taking hormonal birth control, when you bleed that is not a real period. Instead it's what we call a "withdrawal bleed" and that happens because you stop taking the hormone pills and begin taking the placebo or "sugar" pills.

Signs of not getting your period or having irregular periods:

low energy

vaginal dryness

low sex drive

mood swings

skin flare ups

hair loss

weak nails or dry skin

Possible long term effects of not getting your period:

decreased bone health which can lead to osteopenia and osteoporosis

heart and vascular problems leading to cardiovascular disease

possible neurodegenerative disorders

infertility or difficulty conceiving

Sounds a little scary, right? Well before you go down a rabbit hole of emotional distress, know there is HOPE. Much of this is reversible with the restoration of your period. That's good news!

If your body isn’t getting enough energy & nutrients to support your own needs, one of the primary ways it compensates is by shutting down your reproductive system. This makes sense. Your reproductive system isn't essential for life. And without the resources to support your own health, your body certainly isn't going to think it’s in a healthy state to grow a baby. Instead your body is going to use the energy and nutrients it does have for vital functions like your brain, heart and body temperature.

Not getting your natural period or having irregular periods isn't something to shrug off. Rather, this is your body telling you something is going on and you need to pay attention. So instead of ignoring your body, it's important to listen.

And by listening, you can avoid health consequences like poor bone health and the side effects listed above, You have to make sure your body is cared for so your hormones and reproductive system are working like they should. And this matters whether you want to have children one day or not. Getting a regular, natural menstrual cycle is essential for long term health. If you only get a "period" when taking birth control or other hormonal replacement, that's concerning and needs to be addressed.

Birth control is not the solution.

It's a band aid. Birth control is for contraception, but if taken for other reasons it more often than not masks symptoms of what's really happening in your body.

Restoring your natural menstrual cycle isn't complicated. It also doesn't require a bunch of supplements, or a step by step protocol. That actually might cause more stress. What is does require is figuring out the root cause and then healing the actual problem with the right solutions. You don't have to waste your time or money on a bunch of supplements and alternative therapies, this is about getting back to basics and truly healing your body from the inside out.
