[@Katrawrina]

There’s a movement happening for women’s health and I’m so sad it’s taken this long but I’m hopeful that future generations will have more access to this overdue knowledge

[@devorahrose782]

My thoughts exactly ❤

[@melissaasberry9743]

Yes.Maybe our daughters will do alot better now

[@Hannalovesujedward]

[@ValeriaLipovetsky]

Sorry you went through that love❤🙏🏻 hope this episode helped

[@Nikarichi]

Fist of all I want to THANK YOU BOTH for this podcast! I’m towards the end of - 58 min into and as a woman who was on the pill 10 years ago for only a 1,5 year I find those suggestions very helpful but at the same time - I was living by them for a long time. I have irregular periods, crumps and other things (not the point ) that I am experiencing. All the medical advice which was “go on the pill” and the advice is given in this video - sleep (I sleep 8-9h on average), food (I make my own from scratch), exercise (I exercise 1-3 times a week as a workout + have not secretary job) = still have my periods irregular, hormones often times - crazy.. my point is that - a lot of us here are already into the “natural way of living and listening to our bodies” mostly because we never trusted womens healthcare to begging with. Yet I still have some concerns but when I do my regular check ups and bloodwork - I get an answer “everything within NORM”. I think as a society we totally neglect womens health and complains. Even when you do things “right” and your tests are coming as “in the norm” - you still feeling not 100% yourself for most of the days .. it feels like medical field neglects everything you say about how you feel and just says “everything with norm” while you know it’s not and you have no idea WHAT ELSE you can do to make it “right”. We NEED more research on womens because there’s a lot of us who naturally followe dall the advices above and still feel not even close to beeeing at the 100% for most days. We need the shift where women’s health is discovered more. We don’t have answers to so many questions! It absolutely CRAZY that medicine neglects women. Those who actually bring new life to the world. As a woman (28 old) I feel absolutely neglected and the only advice I get from medical professionals- go on the pill. We NEED more research for women’s health!

[@AndreasHofmann46]

I'm really sorry. i've was in such situation 15 months ago. i had just 2 months to live till a friend told me about a healer who helped me. Him cured me, I don't know how him did it. but i owe him my life. His the reason i'm alive today.

[@Dariustomczak78]

That's wonderful, how do i get in touch with the healer?

[@AndreasHofmann46]

Dr Ben Spell Castle is the advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment

[@AndreasHofmann46]

you can look his name up online and you will find all you need.

[@Dariustomczak78]

Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for his full name and his website popped up after scrolling a bit.

[@sianimay420]

Love informative and empowering conversations surrounding women’s health. So much is misunderstood and not widley known about the governing forces of our health and wellbeing ❤

[@ValeriaLipovetsky]

Agreed! So glad you enjoyed this one ❤

[@Juna.Sky23]

i kinda hoped she would mention how being on pills can change ur personality and going off changed you completely

[@annakazakova2530]

Taking a pill helped me to deal with a hard period in my life such as moving to another country, getting married. It was really like crutches until I knew that the stressful period has passed and I can live with my natural cycle and have problems like acne, pain, mood changes. I wouldn’t be able to deal with a natural cycle during that period but I don’t want to take a pill no more in my “normal” routine life now as it had too many post pill effects. Thanks for the video!

[@Keesha]

I just recently started doing green smoothies (I know, late huh). Loads of spinach,green apples, cucumber, lemons, a bit of ginger and banana for sweetness. I only add water. I only started doing it because I wanted to start eating more fruits and veggies and it’s easier for me to drink all those servings than eat it. The mist amazing thing I discovered was that now I don’t know when my cycle is coming… pMS literally disappeared. No cramps, hormonal acne, mood swings … nothing. If I don’t actively track my period, I will have accidents because I get no warning signs anymore.

[@MyLifeDIVAA]

🎉yaay! Eating alkaline does change the game in the body. Everything just goes back to optimum function. Good for you.

[@annan8210]

I was on the pill during 17 years)) I no longer take it for 1,5 years. Now thanks God I am pregnant! I remember 5 years ago I was on antidepressants as I had terrible anxiety and depression. Guess what.. as soon as I stopped taking the pill last May, my health improved, the symptoms of anxiety and depression has gone away completely.. how is this even posible?! Girls we have to be careful , but for me it was difficult to stop taking those pills as I didn’t see the connection between my anxiety and the pill and I asked more than 6 doctors if I should stop , and all of them told me it would be a mistake, and it only benefits my health… God… how wrong I was

[@liarose1564]

Love this episode!!😍 soo much good information! definitely gonna buy the book. Thank you for bringing attention to this topic Valeria🤍

[@laurenhills239]

I’ve been watching you since I was 14 and you’ve been the best influencer/role model for me. I always learn so much from watching your videos 🤍🤍

[@ValeriaLipovetsky]

You’re absolutely the sweetest 🥹❤️ thank you for still being here!

[@xuanmainguyenngoc3224]

OMG! It has been so long. I first followed you since I was in my teens with your styling and picturing tips and your little family. Now I'm in my 20s wondering, working, feeling so left out in life, you got my back with this series of podcast, it feels like I got a big sis in my life :> Love your contents and Wishing you the best, Valeria!

[@RL-ge9gs]

The pill made me doubt my own mental health!! Thank gd that’s over no more pill for me! Can you please address merina IUD? I’d love to hear about that as well

[@MiniMarissa18]

Absolutely loved it. Thank you both

[@ugnelaguna]

Wow this is great thank you Valeria for what you are doing! ❤

[@ark3361]

My dermatologist recommended it to me that I use it forever as I was suffering from severe acne. My acne was gone but when I stop taking it they come back. So I keep taking it. (Also there’s absolutely no reason for me to take birth control as I am not sexually active and have never been and I am 28 )

[@TheHeidibaby]

Hi, same here, acne came back but I stuck with it for 1-2 years and then it completely stopped.

[@ark3361]

@@TheHeidibaby ohh really? So after 2 years, you stopped taking it and no acne after that?

[@heyyooooo974]

Thank you for this!!!

[@maygal2546]

such an important video! thank you so much Valeria

[@vbiddy]

Can we get a part 2, focusing more on peri/menopause?

[@allamaley8375]

Valeria, I am very grateful to work you do, this episode is very important and genius! I have a question, maybe I didn’t follow: After collection data about feelings, symptoms, sex drive, etc for three months, what should I do with it? Is it just for predicting? Sort of, if I know I am very down by the end of the cycle I should not plan any additional projects for this time and plan joyfully activities instead?

[@lauraoshea1701]

Very good episode✨

[@ValeriaLipovetsky]

Thanks for watching ❤🙏🏻

[@10promises10]

Thanks!

[@IamWanderwoman]

So what do we do? If the pill is bad what's the answer?

[@murdermostdownunder3562]

I told my doctor my period was getting heavier lately, SHE didn't ask me a single question and just turned to her computer and said "oh theres a new pill for that" and started writing a script. I told her to shove it and walked out.

[@mariafunk2057]

That’s funny

[@melanielotos6139]

Well done!

[@shelbysworld2424]

Does anyone have any opinions on Mirena iud? I have been completely free of hormones birth control for 5 years, but have fibroids and endometriosis and my OB said mirena and the amount of progesterone will aid slowing the progressing of my fibroids and endometriosis and the pain/ heavy periods. Any thoughts?

[@mariafunk2057]

I know a lady who it worked well for her.

[@allamaley8375]

What is the book you mentioned about self connection?

[@lyhouse6960]

I think I’m one of those whose hormones got chaotic postpartum. Never in my life had have to deal with PMS migraine (vestibular migraine), severe allergy, lactose intolerance, thyroid issues, and mental issues. Ugh. Birth control now is helping to some degree but I think it will take years and many different treatments to get me back to normal

[@brunabodulica4245]

Valeria, this is good content. I am, however thinking about the issue you talking too much.. just let your guests talk.this is why you called them to be on your podcast.

[@Lillagrå-z1i]

The pill it’s never helpful and I never took it. God bless you.

[@3as1]

I am glad women are waking up. I never took the pill, and there are plenty of alternative methods.
