Answers to common questions about birth control

by Marcy Holmes, Women’s Health NP

Selecting a form of birth control that works best for her situation is one of the most important health matters a woman of reproductive age faces — and one most women must deal with several times over the course of their reproductive years.

Understandably, I get a lot of questions about birth control from my patients at the clinic and by e-mail from members of the Personal Program. I’ve chosen an assortment that I hope will answer the most pertinent questions on your mind today and help you choose your birth control wisely.

Our Personal Program is a great place to start

The Personal Program promotes natural hormonal balance with nutritional supplements, our exclusive endocrine support formula, dietary and lifestyle guidance, and optional phone consultations with our Nurse–Educators. It is a convenient, at-home version of what we recommend to all our patients at the clinic.

To select the Program that's right for your symptoms, go to Choose the plan that works for you.
To assess your symptoms, take our on-line Hormonal Health Profile.
