If so, you should have your hormones checked because it can have a huge impact on your body and your hormones. It does more than just stop your cycle. Birth control can create estrogen dominance which can lead to weight gain, cause liver issues and many other side effects. Maybe you were put on birth control to help regulate uncomfortable symptoms caused by PMS or PMDD. Instead seek help to find the root cause of your symptoms because it is possible to start healing your body from within. Another important reason to get your hormones checked is if you’re dealing with infertility or you aren't ovulating. Some causes of this include PCOS, and endometriosis. It can be more difficult to get pregnant with these diagnoses but not impossible. There is a reason you have these issues and they can most often be reversed with proper care. Today I deep dive into the 4 types of PCOS and how they are linked to disease in the body, how endometriosis is linked to excess estrogen in the body and how hormonal acne is a sign there is something wrong in the body. If you have been dealing with any of these issues, take a sigh of relief because you don’t have to live with them forever. Your first step is to test those hormones and see where you stand. When I say have your hormones checked I am referring to not only your sex hormones but your adrenals as well. I recommend the Dutch Plus test because it is the most comprehensive.
