Episode #15 Why We Joined Better Beauty
Dr. Kate and Dr. Halie both are very passionate about all aspects of health: physical, nutritional, mental and environmental. Unfortunately, many of the products we are using on a daily basis have the potential to create negative or adverse health reactions including but not limited to: hormone disruption, reproductive toxicity, allergic reactions, and many are contaminated with carcinogens.
They both joined Beautycounter because of all of the transparency and high standards this company holds as well as the advocacy. Laws have not been updated in the beauty and cosmetic industry since the early 1900’s. Beautycounter is advocating on Capitol Hill, educating and trying to reform these laws in the hopes to get safer products in the hands of everyone.

Episode #8: Why the pill won’t fix your hormones
Welcome back to our mini series on hormone health.
Were you ever put on the pill for reasons such as irregular, missing or painful periods, acne or another underlying hormone issue? Well today we want to share why we were originally put on birth control and how it did not fix the original intentions, instead, taught us to seek out the root cause for our problems. We want to help empower you to understand what the pill is actually doing in your body, how it works and how it does not work. We also provide some awesome tips for when you are transitioning off the pill and trying to help regain control of your hormones.
This is not a substitute for proper medical advice or diagnosis.

Welcome back. Today, we kick off our new mini hormone health series with talking about all things period health. The period is a vital sign and we want you to be more in-tune as to what your body is actually trying to tell you. Painful periods, cramps, moodiness, PMS, acne, heavy bleeding and missing periods--all thought to be “normal” while instead, it is your body trying to tell you something. Our periods should essentially be painless and symptomless. We want to help empower you to understand your cycle and take control over your hormones.
