Ever since then, it\u2019s been a journey to get back to a balance. I was initially placed on birth control over a decade ago because my periods were insanely heavy (to the point of anemia). My doctor\u2019s solution was birth control&#8230; yes, I know, not very holistic. I tried every form of birth control besides the Nexplanon.&nbsp;<\/figure>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<figure>Eventually, it led to an IUD, the Mirena, to stop my periods completely. After years of holistic education and Traditional Chinese Medicine, I decided to get off of it. The reason being that synthetic hormones mess with the natural rhythm of your body.<\/figure>\n<figure>When I made the decision, I figured: I eat well, move my body and I get bodywork so why not! Now, I will not lie\u2026this has not been easy and there are times when I still feel like I\u2019m not 100 percent. It took me about 5 months to find a good flow! (It has now been a year since my switch) My periods are regular and my PMS is a work in progress. It is NOTHING like what it was before however, and it is not heavy, which is a win.<\/figure>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<figure>Everything stated below can apply to many imbalances.
