Weight gain is a common side effect of the pill. Taking the pill for symptoms of hormone imbalance can bring unwanted weight gain. Holistic health care offers alternatives that support whole body health.
Women are prescribed the pill for a variety of conditions, most of which relate to overall hormone balance. While the pill will create a more regular level of hormones, it doesn’t address the actual cause of the imbalance, which varies from woman to woman. Holistic health care practitioners look at the underlying cause of a case by case basis.
For some people achieving hormone balance may actually mean an improvement in weight management, things like managing blood sugar levels throughout the day and eliminating food intolerances can help with weight loss efforts, especially when it is stubborn weight that seems like it won’t come off despite your best efforts.
Dr. Christiane Northrup agrees that natural approaches can help balance hormone levels.
Dr. Marina Rose, DC has helped women with symptoms related to hormone balance and other challenging, chronic health conditions in and around the city of Los Altos, CA.
