In reply to Alex Wilks. Alex - that can be tricky! Through consultation we try and prescribe and give you access to what we use (most places you can order online) under our care. Otherwise, brands we have here are bioceuticals & blackmores to name a few. We do offer skype consults which might help.x

Huge fan of your website and would definitely come for an appointment if I didn’t live in Europe… I am planning to come off the pill and am aiming to follow your advice, including starting the supplements mentioned above and in other posts. Could you recommend a good brand of supplements? I think you mention “practioner’s grade” somewhere, but I just don’t know what brands are reputable and unfortunately there are no English-speaking TCM doctors, hormone whisperers or naturopaths where I live!

In reply to Emily. Yes the symptoms when we stop can be wide and varied especially if we haven't done anything different whilst we have been taking the pill. If we can implement changes whilst on the pill or even now that you've stopped taking it, then you can take your body towards health indeed x

I have recently come off microgynon and since then have suffered headaches, nausea and at times dizziness. Are these symptoms normal ?

In reply to Ema.

Maca is brilliant and has been used for centuries. I in fact find that it supports fertility wonderfully, so you can rest assured you’re fertility won’t be affected. The Zinc and Maca won’t upset your birth control. Start at a low dose with the Maca – about 1/4 – 1/2 tsp at a time. You will find it useful to begin to add it in as of now, before you transition off the pill.

Hi Nat,

I am on birth control, and I REALLY WANT TO STOP. but I am super scared of the acne growth afterwards.. So I purchased Zinc supplement(50 mg, by Good’n’natural) and Maca root(from Gaia) it’s organic!

I was wondering if I could use them right now?(Im still using birth control) Will the Zinc and Maca affect the birth control effectiveness?
and also I read that Maca might lead to reproductive issues 🙁 is that true??

Hi Nat,

I have struggled with health progressively more since starting to take the pill two years ago. Particularly very low B12 levels and severe tiredness as well as stomach pains and cramps.

I would be very interested in coming off it, but am not sure what other form of contraception to use. We both really dislike the condom, but are not really wanting to have children yet. Most other forms of contraception also contain hormones so I don’t really know what to do.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jaana

Hi Nat,
Your advice with coming off the pill has been super helpful, I was told
By my naturopath last year to have a break from it (it was causing me a lot
Of problems biggest one candida)
Anyway it’s now been over a year and there has been no sight of the monthlys
Whatsoever! I’ve been doing everything that you have listed and I just don’t know
What’s going on. My skin is going crazy because of the Hormones and I just want them to be back in balance.
I went to my gp 7 months in and she told me to start taking the pill again to get them back which I deffinately don’t want to do.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Hannah
