Beyond the Pill

A 30-Day Program to Balance Your Hormones, Reclaim Your Body, and Reverse the Dangerous Side Effects of the Birth Control Pill

De: Jolene Brighten

Narrado por: Dara Rosenberg

Out of the 100 million women - almost 11 million in the US alone - who are on the pill, roughly 60 percent take it for noncontraceptive reasons like painful periods, endometriosis, PCOS, and acne. While the birth control pill is widely prescribed as a quick-fix solution to a variety of women’s health conditions, taking it can also result in other more serious and dangerous health consequences.

Did you know that women on the pill are more likely to be prescribed an antidepressant? That they are at significantly increased risk for autoimmune disease, heart attack, thyroid and adrenal disorders, and even breast and cervical cancer? That the pill can even cause vaginal dryness, unexplained hair loss, flagging libido, extreme fatigue, and chronic infection? As if women didn’t have enough to worry about, that little pill we’re taking to manage our symptoms is only making things worse.

Jolene Brighten, ND, author of the groundbreaking new audiobook Beyond the Pill, specializes in treating women’s hormone imbalances caused by the pill and shares her proven 30-day program designed to reverse the myriad of symptoms women experience every day - whether you choose to stay on the pill or not. The first audiobook of its kind to target the birth control pill and the scientifically proven symptoms associated with taking it, Beyond the Pill is an actionable plan for taking control and will help listeners:

• Locate the root cause of their hormonal issues, like estrogen dominance, low testosterone, and low progesterone
• Discover a pain-free, manageable period free of cramps, acne, stress, or PMS without the harmful side effects that come with the pill
• Detox the liver, support the adrenals and thyroid, heal the gut, reverse metabolic mayhem, boost fertility, and enhance mood
• Transition into a nutrition and supplement program, with more than 30 hormone-balancing recipes

Featuring simple diet and lifestyle interventions, Beyond the Pill is the first step to reversing the risky side effects of the pill, finally finding hormonal health, and getting your badass self back.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Strange narrator

Narrator was very very strange. Wish I bought the physical book because the content is great and I think it would be helpful to reference- it's not really a novel. But PDF is great

So Insightful

I’ve been on the birth control pill for over 5 years and the last couple of years there has been a little voice in me telling me that I should stop and that it’s not good for me. Now two months ago I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism. When I asked my doctor if it could be related to my birth control pill she looked me in the eyes and said no. Deep down I knew she was wrong and was mad at her dismissiveness of that possibility. That finally made me say enough is enough. I was scared to come off birth control because of the unknown of what symptoms I would get but knew that it was something I had to do. I wanted to do my own research, and this book pushed me over the edge and gave me the knowledge and passion to take control of my body. Thank you!!!

Every woman needs to read this!

Amazing book! Opened my eyes to a lot and help me feel less crazy. I had a hand full of symptoms throughout the years and would ask my physicians to help me, no one did….no one knew the cause.This book allowed me to reflect on myself, find those answers, and gain the confidence to get off birth control!

The only down side is that there is a bit of repetition in the book but, as they say, repetition makes things stick….. consider them stuck!

Informative

A message all women need to hear. We should all be informed about our bodies. This gave me the tools to feel brave enough to get off the pill for good.

Fantastic information!

Wish doctors knew this information and the studies she quotes. I learned so much and feel in control of my body again.

Life changing

Amazing book. Truly life changing. I found it to be a great resource for sufferers of endometriosis who don’t want to take the pill to mask symptoms.

Very eye opening

This book was very helpful. It was insightful to discover all the non-hormonal ways to use birth control.

Highly informative

This book overwhelmed me with all of the information. Lots of medical terms and language but eye opening for sure.

Every women needs to ready this book!

This is a book for every women to ready! so much information. Wish I had this 20 years ago!
