#18 Why the birth control pill really isn’t helping you get your period back

Feb 12, 2021

Hello and welcome to The Weightlifting Nutritionist Podcast! In today’s episode, I want to talk about why the birth control pill is not helping you get your period back! You keep being told to go on the pill and everything will work out right? But what about when it doesn’t?

So in today’s episode, I’m going to talk about:

• What do you need to do when you go to the doctor for a missing or irregular period?
• Why do you have to be your own advocate?
• What tests should your doctor be doing?
• Why having cysts on your ovaries is not enough to diagnose PCOS?
• How being on the pill does not solve the underlying issues?
• How the pill just gives the perception of regulating your period?

Are you struggling with weight and your relationship with food? I want you to know you don’t have to do this alone. If you are ready to find your path to freedom with food & fitness fill out an application and let’s get started!
