Included are holistic and nutritional suggestions to support menstrual cycle health, including non-pharmaceutical approaches to managing difficult periods and restoring nutritional status.Included are narratives of various women's experiences women when they stop using hormonal contraceptives. This is a companion book to "Justisse Method Fertility Awareness and Body Literacy: A User's Guide"Why A Book About Coming Off the Pill?WE SEE WOMEN every day in our clinic that experience reproductive and other health problems while on and after discontinuing the birth control pill or other forms of hormonal contraception. They report find- ing few, if any, resources to help them deal with the physiological upheaval these drugs create in their bodies. Many women also report using hormonal contraception to deal with very difficult periods or other hormonal disorders. They report finding little support on or information for using non-hormonal forms of birth control or ways to deal with hormonal disorders without the use of drugs. The intention of this book is to share with women some of those hard to find bits of information; information that we use in our clinical practices every day.
