Beyond the Pill

Of the 100 million women who are on the birth control pill, nearly 60 percent take it for noncontraceptive reasons such as painful periods, endometriosis, PCOS, and acne. That’s because the birth control pill is widely prescribed as a quick-fix solution for these and a variety of women’s health conditions, with little to no investigation into their root causes and no plan for how women might heal naturally. What’s worse, "the pill" we are taking to feel better can cause other more serious and dangerous health consequences, including autoimmune disease, heart attack, thyroid and adrenal disorders, infertility, and even breast and cervical cancer.
In Beyond the Pill, women’s health expert Dr. Jolene Brighten shares her proven 30-day program designed to heal the hormonal imbalance at the root of the uncomfortable and painful symptoms women experience every day. The first book of its kind to address the health risks of oral contraceptives and their connection to hormone dysfunction, Beyond the Pill is an actionable nutrition and lifestyle plan for reversing disease, detoxing your organs, boosting fertility, and making friends with your period in 30 life-changing days.
