Such a beautiful testimony, thank you for being vulnerable. I pray this video reaches people who aren't only struggling with hormonal issues but need to hear the message about waiting until marriage. I always love how you incorporate your faith in the channel, keep up the good work!

[@EatMoveRest]

Yes! Glad you appreciated that!

[@LaurenScottStudios]

We waited until marriage, you got this... it honestly was the best thing, you just have to set your mind and boundaries.. my husband is always constantly telling me how he can't imagine having shared something so special with anyone else... not to judge anyone who hasn't... but personally... for us we can't imagine having not.

[@xStillAroundx]

Thanks so much for putting yourself out there and telling your story. I think it’s super empowering for women to come together and share our experiences. So thank you 🙏🏻😊💕

[@EatMoveRest]

You are so welcome, Jenny! Thanks for your love and support, girl! Love ya! :)

[@lucymelancon6534]

I love that you talked about your faith as well. So powerful when it comes to healing.

[@Blacunikorn]

I understand this so deeply. I’m getting rid of fibroids and my ovarian cysts naturally and documenting the entire experience myself. Thanks for sharing

[@lodixe5947]

Could you please tell me more? I quit the pill a year ago, i discovered two months later that i had pcos, cysts on my ovaries and my period didn't come back yet. I had acne at first, but i fixed that with vitex and controlling my blood glucose, thank you very much 😊 i also stopped intense workout and im meditating every day

[@Blacunikorn]

Lod Ixe absolutely! Congrats on trying to better your life! 💯💯🥰 also, it’s all diet. Literally. Change your entire diet. The main things I suggest is fresh spring water and a high alkaline diet for 6 months to a year. Go get a ultrasound to check and see if your cysts are gone. This diet consist of low carbs, low sugar, your sugar source from fruits only, high veggies, lots of raw veggies and some cooked is fine, organic primarily, keep oregano oil, oregano plant, cilantro and parsley on deck. Sprinkle on all foods and veggie smoothies. Keep a lot of that on deck. After a year and you’re in the clear you can add wild salmon or fresh fish but I would stay in the diet so I would never be a victim of tumors of my reproductive organs again. Also, keep organic herbs in your daily rotation as well such as, turmeric, molasses, ginger, garlic, sea moss, bladderwhack, moringa etc... if your start feigning for something sweet make a small mini organic fruit smoothie. You want to starve the tumors. Sugar and anything processed feeds the disease. We don’t want to feed the disease, we want to starve it. Just don’t do it often because you want to keep your sugar and carbs very low until you get rid of the fibroids, Pcos and you get a clear test. This same diet was used to get rid of hsv, hpv, and other illnesses etc. after a year or when you first get a diagnosis and you got rid of it, you can start back drinking bigger fruit smoothies and some more carbs. Just no white rice, no any type of sugar unless from fruits, no bread. You can use spelt to replace bread for your journey. Look up alkaline diet and add these few things I told you. A lot can change in a year. Good luck hon ❤️

[@lodixe5947]

If there is any more detail involving how you got your period back, I’d love a video on that. I’ve been a plantbased vegan for 7 years and stopped taking the pill in July. I still don’t have my cycle back which has been tough. Also, how do you go about seed cycling when you don’t have a period? I ordered the super blend you recommend in this video, so hopefully that helps too!

[@EatMoveRest]

Check out the link below on doing the seed cycling rotation in sync with the moon! That's how I did it when my period wasn't regular!

[@sophhd5725]

Carrie please look into the weston a price foundation. The fact that you haven't mentrated in 7 years is a massive red flag from your body that it thinks you're in a famine, you need to eat in excess, and focus on nutrient dense foods with all the minerals that your body evolved to eat. The best thing for making babies is eggs, beef liver and red meat. There's no way to get so many important nutrients just eating plants (eg retinol, dha, choline, dha). At least look into it before you make your decision. The book real food for pregnancy by lily nicols is brilliant, she outlines the essential nutrients and has lots of studies to back up all her points. Every vegan baby I see is small and bony with a big extended belly, and as soon as they stop breastfeeding they get skinnier, eyes sink into their heads with deep eye bags, and lots of them have signs of kyphosis and rickets. Nutrition is so much more complex than people make out, there's so many nutrients that work in sync with each other, so many fat soluble nutrients that need saturated fat and cholesterol just to be absorbed. The brain is made of 26% cholesterol, there's cholesterol in breast milk because its so important to build babies brains. It's nowhere to be found in a vegan diet. Please reconsider your diet if you want to have a healthy pregnancy.

Hi Erin, what a beautiful story; thank you for being so vulnerable, it’s so powerful! I have a question about seed cycling: flax seed is recommended for days 1-14 of your cycle. However, I’m used to eating it every day in my smoothie for healthy fats and so on, so also during days 15-28. Do you know if that’s objectenable for effective application of seed cycling?

Where I live, women, avoid the pill like the plague. Its weird that women in the US have just come to realize how dangerous the pill is.

[@marlosunnyfruit4431]

where do you live? Kontinent, Kulture? Here in Europe, nearly ever young women is on the pill... I gess, just about 10% avoid it.

[@Q8IBOYS]

Marlo SunnyFruit i live in Kuwait, is a small country in Middle East. Women in Kuwait are well aware of the dangers a pill can do to one’s body (mood swings, blood clots etc). Also, the its taboo to have intercourse before marriage, thats also a factor to why younger ladies dont take it at all. However, women sometimes take the pill to resolve some PCOS issues.

Have you heard of Dr Brooke Goldner? She is a vegan physician who put her Lupus into remission and now helps others with auto-immune disorders entirely through nutrition. She’s very straightforward and her advice is not overwhelming. She’s given me a lot of hope that I can control my hashimotos.

Did you get your period back after Max? I'm still nursing my 15 month old, and still have not got my period back just yet. After reading Taking Charge of YF, I've come to appreciate periods 😂 I miss mine!

[@EatMoveRest]

Haha I feel you! No, I still have no gotten mine back either. I do know that if you're breastfeeding at least every 6 hours then it can be difficult to get it back.

@eatmoverest Glad I am not alone😆,

The book “In the FLO” by alisa vitti is a great resource for all women. Covers all the things your talk about Erin. Have you read it?

[@EatMoveRest]

Haven’t read it but I just downloaded it on Audible! Thanks for the recommendation!!

[@ariafrost7292]

Erin what things should I take or what should I talk to my dr about getting off my birth control? I do not want to get pregnant but I have tried the copper iud and I hated it

[@WillowFarmstead]

Thank you for sharing your story. I related to soooo many aspects of it. Especially what I'm assuming are your panic attacks. I have trouble breathing, like a heavy weight on my chest. I'm going to therapy as I believe I have panic disorder and post partum anxiety, which I developed after my first child as well. But I know if I have healthier habits I can help alleviate some of my symptoms. I will try meditating too. Any suggestions? Also, I'd love some skin care and beauty recommendations. Non asked for opinion, I'd still try to have my baby at the hospital, but definitely with a doula. I also had my first unmedicated and no interventions at all. My second my water broke but labor never came even with actively trying to induce labor at home. 17 hours later I went to the hospital and had to be induced, during covid i didn't get to have support, but I'm definitely glad I didn't have a home birth. But that's just my two cents. Also when you're talking about your birth with max, you say, "this time" as in the next time ....??!!?! Lol 😆

[@WillowFarmstead]

Also, Google is sooooo triggering to my anxiety. Its such a "smart" feature, I wish it could analyze my search history and whenever I Google symptoms show me non worse case scenarios, or better yet say, I think this is your anxiety coming out. Lol

[@EatMoveRest]

haha i feel you on the google situation! lol yes maybe next time around i will do a home birth, but not pregnant at this point! will have to make a video on my personal care products soon! :) As far as axiety and panic attacks, breath work and eating plant-based helped me a ton!

[@bmwgymchikk]

Has the moon balance changed ingredients since this video? It says it’s not safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding.......I’m currently breastfeeding so just wondering

[@EatMoveRest]

I never had an issue and haven't heard of anyone who has!

[@bmwgymchikk]

@@EatMoveRest thank you!! Just purchased some!! Praying it helps level my crazy hormones 🤣🙏
