Summary:

In this episode of Her Health Podcast, I discuss the birth control pill and the importance of informed consent. I emphasize that while birth control can be a useful tool, it is often prescribed without informing women about the side effects and how it actually works. I highlight that the pill is not a solution to underlying health issues and can mask symptoms rather than addressing the root cause. I also discuss how the pill affects ovulation, mood, gut health, nutrient depletion, and libido. I encourage women to have access to information and alternative options for birth control.

WHO AM I?

My name is Eliana and I am a Holistic Nutritionist specializing in women's health, hormones, fertility and menstrual health.

In my practice, I work closely with individuals to balance their hormones, manage PCOS, enhance fertility, and smoothly transition off birth control using natural methods such as nutrition, lifestyle changes, and supplements.

I embarked on this journey because I desperately needed someone to guide me through my hormonal issues when I had no idea where to start and no one to turn to, other than conventional medication, which I wanted to avoid.

I'm thrilled to share my story and insights with you today.

Her Health Podcast will feature a mix of solo episodes and in-depth interviews with experts in the filed with the goal of bringing inspiration and knowledge to you.

Welcome to the third episode of Her Health Podcast! I'm Eliana Petralito, and today, I'm sharing why my period was late last month and what I'm doing to support my body and get back on track.

For those new here, I've dealt with severe hormonal imbalances for years, likely due to PCOS, though I never received an official diagnosis. My periods were always irregular and painful, often missing for months. Now, as a Holistic Nutritionist, I’ve achieved regular, pain-free periods, typically between 28 to 35 days, a significant improvement from the 40-65 days I used to experience. This consistency is something I've maintained for two years—until recently, when my cycle extended to 41 days.

I’m sharing this to show that even with a solid routine, we are all human and imperfect. My period was late because my body is highly sensitive to stress and sleep disruptions. This past April and May were incredibly stressful, both personally and professionally, which impacted my sleep and, subsequently, my menstrual cycle.

When it comes to hormonal balance, nutrition is just one piece of the puzzle. Stress management and quality sleep are equally important.
