The Birth Control Dilemma: What are Hormonal Contraceptives Really Doing to Your Body?

03/01/24 • 35 min

When I got married, I made the choice I thought you had to make: take birth control... and it took me years to dig myself out of the hole that it put me in!
Welcome to the first episode of my THIRD season of Be Whole. Be Well. Be Wise.
Today we’re talking about the truth about birth control and how it impacts the female body from a faith-based perspective. I hope this is an informative topic that will inform and educate you on some of the complications of taking birth control, otherwise known as hormonal contraceptives. I do not seek to offend or become controversial. I hope other women can see a timeline overlap from when their symptoms began and overlay it with taking hormonal contraceptives and I hope you can find ways to replenish your body, and make decisions based on this information that can improve your overall health and well-being.
We are going to dive into:
-the mechanisms of birth control
-how it impacts your brain, gut, and minerals
-how you know you are ready to conceive after taking hormonal contraceptive
-how you can replenish your body if you have taken hormonal contraceptives

The ONE THING Women Need

Do you feel like you are searching for something that's missing? Do you feel you are grappling for answers? Do you notice that your stress and anxiety overwhelm your heart and joy seems like a distant idea?
Join Faith Harralson and I as we dive into the ONE THING women need for wholeness in body, mind, and spirit.
Being WITH Jesus.
Let's talk about:
How to keep our eyes on Him and off of what is going on.
How to discern the voice of our Father.
How to operate in gratitude.
AND, how to bring the Holy Spirit's presence into our daily lives and into our homes.
Friends, as we renew our mind, body, and spirit, let's get rid of distractions and focus on Him in our daily walks and usher His presence into our homes.
Psalms 69:29-32 Amplified

But I am sorrowful and in pain. May your salvation, O God, set me securely on high. I will praise the name of God with song and magnify Him with thanksgiving. And we will please the Lord better than an ox or a young bull with horns and hooves. The humble have seen it and are glad. You who seek God (requiring Him as your greatest NEED) let your heart REVIVE and LIVE.

He came because He loves You! I hope you have a fantastic Christmas and wait expectantly on our Coming King to transform your life this season!
