## Description

"All women need to read this book."—Dave Asprey, author of The Bulletproof Diet "Groundbreaking solutions for the common hormonal struggles women face both on and off birth control."—Amy Medling, founder of PCOS Diva and author of Healing PCOS A natural, effective program for restoring hormone balance, normalizing your period, and reversing the harmful side effects of ‘The Pill’—for the millions of women who take it for acne, PMS, menstrual cramps, PCOS, Endometriosis, and many more reasons other than contraception. Out of the 100 million women—almost 11 million in the United States alone—who are on the pill, roughly 60 percent take it for non-contraceptive 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 book Beyond the Pill , specializes in treating women’s hormone imbalances and post-birth control syndrome 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 book 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 of your reproductive health, and will help readers: 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 for better gut health, reverse metabolic mayhem, boost fertility, and enhance mood Transition into a nutrition and supplement program, with more than 30 recipes for hormone balance 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 through a holistic health approach, and getting your badass self back.

Review: All women should read this book!!! - I got Dr. Brighten's book two weeks ago, and I haven't finished yet, but so far I love it so much, I thought I'd leave a review anyway, and hopefully help other women make the decision to buy it. I've been taking the pill for almost 4 years, and about 2 years ago I developed IBS (the mixed type). I'd never had digestive issues before and for years I blamed it on my international move and the stress associated with it (even though I'd moved internationally before and it never happened). My IBS kept getting worse and worse, even though I tried to eat healthy, so one day it occurred to me, what if this is caused by the pill? I did some research and someone recommended Dr. Brighten's book. As soon as I read the description here on desertcart I was hooked. I bought the book that same day! I've been following her tips and recipes for 10 days and I already feel so much better!! I've incorporated a lot of new healthy ingredients to my diet (some of which I'd never heard about before!), and they've had such an obvious effect on me. My IBS is so much better already! I have no pain, and I have lost 6 pounds in 10 days (another side effect of the pill is overweight). I'm getting off the pill today, and I have no idea what the transition is going to be like. I'm honestly quite nervous about the possibility of getting post-birth control syndrome. But with Dr. Brighten's book I feel supported and in good hands. This book is a must-read for every woman who is, has been or is considering to get on the pill. It is PACKED with scientific information about what hormonal contraception does to our bodies. Dr. Brighten is a biochemist, so she knows her stuff. In her book, she talks about all those things that we women notice in our bodies but other doctors tell us we're crazy or "it's all in our head". Dr. Brighten tells you exactly how your body works and why you are not crazy: the pill does indeed affect our bodies and mood negatively. This book is not against the pill. Its goal is informing women of what we're facing when we decide taking it, so we can make informed decisions. This is information you won't find anywhere else, because mainstream doctors don't know it, have no idea, and keep prescribing the pill for issues that have a much easier and natural solution (hint: diet, lifestyle, supplements). It's a crime that we women are not informed about better, less-dangerous alternatives to hormonal birth control. Dr. Brighten's book is essential for anyone who wants to know how their bodies work and what to do to detox from the pill, including how to stop suffering post birth control syndrome and other women health issues. The book is packed with information, tips and recipes. So far, it's been only 10 days and I can already feel the difference. I follow Dr. Brighten on IG and FB, and everything she shares is great, so I encourage you to buy this book AND to follow her on social media too. - - - - - - - - I'll update this review if I change my opinion (not likely) or I have something else to add.
Review: On birth control for 10+ years WITHOUT a break, on my healing journey. - What started as a frustrating conversation with my pharmacist and their inability to refill a prescription, turned into me ditching birth control, and reading up on research so I could ditch it "the right way", if the right way even existed. Through my reading, I found lots of recommendations for this book. The author was on BC herself for a very long time and faced many different hormonal symptoms during and after taking BC. The book essentially walks you through your menstrual cycle, what your hormones are doing at various stages, what the various symptoms of hormonal imbalances are, and how to heal these imbalances (and their associated symptoms) naturally through diet, exercise, mindfulness, and supplement use. Dr. Brighten is very empowering for all women and provides a lot of information such as certain blood work panels to request from your doctor if they are making you feel like all of your whacko symptoms are somehow "normal" or "just part of being a woman". This book is one big "stfu and listen to me moment" and I think many women can relate to some if not most of the experiences and symptoms described. I have read some critiques about the book because, in the supplement section, the author does promote her own brand of supplements. I think this is a cheap complaint because before she does this, she provides a ton of information on various supplements and what they will do to support your body as you come off from birth control and you are in NO WAY forced to buy her supplements. I completed her 30-day program and I did not buy a single product of hers. That being said, it took more time on my part to find comparable products, within my price range, that filled all the nutritional gaps I was looking for. If you're the type of person who needs things made as easy as possible and you don't want to spend hours of your day reading research and product hunting then it's incredibly helpful that you can simply buy her products and have everything you need. And hers are no more expensive than any of the products at a grocery store. ALSO, this author has an impressive education, she has spent decades of her life focusing her research on women's health, she healed her own hormonal imbalances and many of her clients in her own practice, now she's gone on to write a comprehensive guide on how to do the same for women at home AND shes managed to formulate her own brand of supplements that fit into her practice and provide her clients with EXACTLY what they need to heal their body.... why would she NOT promote her OWN products in HER book that SHE wrote?? Lol the audacity of people to criticize that need to sit down. I have loved the information in this book. I found it very informative and empowering. It comforted me during a time of huge change in my life and my health. I feel like it prepared me for what to expect out of my body and reassured me that many other women are going through the same things as me. The 30-day protocol seems restrictive but it was SO much easier than I could have ever expected and I saw immediate results. Within the month, I had my first natural period off the pill, no pain, no weird PMS symptoms, my skin has cleared, my digestion has regulated, and I am sleeping better. I have zero regrets and am so grateful to have found this resource. Thank you Dr. Brighten.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mind blowing truth bombs covering all aspects of female health!
*by S***S on March 16, 2019*

This book is the most REAL, truth-filled, educational, empowering, and encouraging experience I’ve ever had regarding women’s health and hormones! The truth bombs she shares in these pages are earth shattering if you are like me, and most people, who have never been provided the raw knowledge that we so badly need in order to own our bodies and our health, and THRIVE in our lives! From the basics we should have learned in middle school to the complicated intricacies we need to know about female hormones, this book covers it all and empowers women to believe what their bodies are communicating to them and understand how to live without allowing hormones to control us. Dr. Brighten fills every page of this book with helpful and critical information, enlightening women on what is happening inside their bodies. One of the most brilliant analogies she used in the book really stuck with me, as it is the perfect way to explain the hormonal system to ALL humans: “Your hormonal system (also known as the endocrine system) is like a symphony, which under optimal conditions—when every instrument is in tune and hitting the right notes—is playing the most beautiful music you have ever heard. But if just one instrument is out of tune, it can ruin the entire piece, making you cringe. The other musicians may begin to change how they’re playing in order to compensate for that one out-of-tune instrument, and the music quality begins to diminish further. In this same way, if one hormone is out of balance, if affects the whole system” (Brighten, p. 29-31). As a female living with endometriosis, this book changed my life in the most beneficial ways. But way beyond that, Dr. Brighten’s book educated me on women’s health in ways I never even knew I was lacking in knowledge! There is SO much our doctors, and specifically our OBGYN’s, don’t tell us. It’s horrible to realize how much truth is kept from us! Reclaim your life and your body by reading this book and SHARE the knowledge with others!
