Why I ditched the birth control pill.

The combination of stress and under-eating in my late teens caused my period to disappear for more than a year, which led to a host of health issues in my 20s (including PCOS and hypothyroidism). To throw fuel on the fire, I was on and off the pill during those critical reproductive years as well. It was only once I quit the pill and learned to support my body’s natural rhythm through cycle syncing that I was able to reach a level of health I felt good about.
