The pill is popular for birth control, but it is also prescribed for conditions that may be helped with a holistic health care approach. Nutrition, especially, can support hormone balance that may resolve some common symptoms that the pill is prescribed for.
Many symptoms that women commonly take the pill for can actually be caused by hormone levels that are out of balance. A diet that is rich in nutrients and fiber can help your body to break down hormones after they have done their job in the body, especially when it comes to the hormone levels. Dr. Christiane Northrup agrees that holistic health care approaches can help with hormone balance.
Dr. Marina Rose, DC has helped women with symptoms related to hormone balance and people with other challenging, chronic health conditions in and around the city of Los Altos, CA.
Fiber is important to include in the diet. Estrogen is eliminated from the body through the large intestine. Fiber keeps things moving enough so that estrogen is not reabsorbed into the body. Micronutrients found in sprouted and fermented foods, especially prebiotics and 3-endole-carbinol, can also help the body to process estrogen as well.
A holistic health care practitioner can help you navigate your hormone balance issue with an individualized diet plan that addresses your specific hormone levels. With a natural approach, you won’t have to worry about side effects of the pill.
