Description
In this episode I get back to the basics with health coach Melissa Lee on periods, PCOS and hormonal birth control. This episode is for you - or perhaps for your sister or daughter - if you’ve been considering starting hormonal birth control due to wonky period issues. Melissa shares her own experience with PCOS and birth control, how she transitioned off the pill and how she’s helped herself and other women regain hormonal balance by applying foundational food and lifestyle principles.
Melissa is a health coach who supports ladies with hormonal imbalances, including PCOS. She uses both her own experience living with PCOS and the creation of a natural healing toolkit to help her clients improve their symptoms through natural means. Melissa works with clients remotely and creates an engaging community in her FB group, Find Natural Ways to Balance Hormones with NourishMel.
