We are thrilled that Alisa and FLO Living are featured in BUST Magazine this week! Rachel Friedman takes on the subject of the birth control pill and whether women should be taking the pill for non-contraceptive reasons. Of course, Alisa was happy to weigh in!
Here is an excerpt from the article to peak your interest (if you want to read the entire article, Click Here):
Today, 10 million women are on the pill, and 82 percent of us have taken it at some point in our lives. The birth control pill is a $22 billion–a-year industry, with 60 brands now on the market.
These days, we assume that the kinks have been worked out, and that the pill is perfectly safe—but is that naïve?
The quickness with which the pill is being dispatched to seemingly anyone with a hormone-related ailment suggests we might be overmedicating some women at best and, at worst, dismissing others.

Yes this is a topic close to my heart! A wonky hormone system or menstrual cycle is a message from our body asking for attention and balance to be restored. Not for the systems to be overridden by artificial hormones. Good on you for getting the message out there! There are other answers!

Thanks for sharing this article. Many women with PCOS are put on the pill to manage their symptoms, but it often makes the condition worse over time as it impacts on insulin resistance and the balance of flora in the gut. There are many ways to manage symptoms without the use of the pill.

855 I don’t have a 70 inch moose rack to the wall, but I consider my scaled-down moose as trophies however. But I discovered out in these days that it is the Louis Vuitton watches using added diamonds and getting a great deal more luxurious.
