I woke up this morning reflecting that it’s been a little over a year since I started taking Balance which is a supplement created by the Alani Nu team. I have wanted to share my story with my followers for a long time now, because Balance assisted me in becoming a better me. The details are a little more personal than I would usually get, but I finally thought about how sharing my experience might improve the lives of others.
I discovered Alani Nu products in May of 2018 when I was pretty heavy into working out. I use a lot of their products besides Balance like the Energy drinks, Pre-workout, Hair Skin and Nails, Digestion, Greens, and BCAAs. I was a firm believer in their products, but not quite firm enough to spend $50.00 a month on a daily supplement.
Lots of women were posting that their hormonal acne disappeared. That they were getting pregnant after months of trying to conceive, that they were sleeping better, felt better, and could not believe the results that came along with this supplement. So, I dived in.
The part that is a little personal for me is birth control. The word that I never really focused on was “control” until I realized that is just what it had done to my life. I was miserable. I was constantly moody. I was overweight. I was barely even having a period I had been on it for so long….almost 8 years. In February 2018 I did not drive to the pharmacy to refill my prescription. I have been off of birth control for almost 2 years, and it has been the most liberating experience of my life. I honestly feel like it was holding my prisoner. My weight dropped off, my mood improved, and I just felt better.
I will never take birth control ever again.
I did still have the acne. It just wouldn’t go away. I was 25 years old and had acne on my back and face. I had never had BACNE in my life!! I was going crazy. By November I was basically to the point that I would try anything. I have been taking it for a year. One month in I lost the bacne. My face slowly improved after that. I slept better. I felt better. I regret not taking before and after photos, but all I can say is that I was too embarrassed.
This is not to persuade anyone to make any personal decision in their lives they aren’t comfortable with. This is simply my experience. I dropped birth control, picked up my Balance and never looked back. Hormonal struggles are not a joke. At least where I am from, this is not something we discuss. Why are we not giving young women other options besides birth control? Why are we not discussing this more? I’m not sure. I’m not a doctor or even close to being one, I am simply sharing what has worked for me. I am not sponsored by Alani Nu, and I do not receive any compensation for posting. I have attached a link below to my Amazon storefront where you can purchase and a link to the Alani Nu website where you can learn more about Balance.
If this blog post helps ONE girl, then it is worth it to me.
Love you guys,
