Rebalance Your Hormones Naturally
After Birth Control, There’s a Better Way to Heal
At Neighborhood Natural Medicine in Williamsburg, we’ve supported hundreds of women navigating life after hormonal birth control, and we’ve seen how confusing and frustrating that transition can be.
You may have been told everything would “go back to normal” once you stopped the pill, patch, IUD, or implant. But what most women experience is something entirely different.
You Might Be Feeling…
Irregular or missing periods
Breakouts along the jawline and chin
Mood swings, anxiety, or even depression
Brain fog or fatigue
Digestive changes or bloating
Libido fluctuations
A sense of being “off” or ungrounded
These symptoms aren’t your fault - and you’re not broken. They’re signals from your body asking for support as it reclaims its natural hormonal rhythm.
Why This Happens
Hormonal contraceptives suppress your body’s communication system, specifically the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis. They don’t “fix” hormonal problems; they silence them.
Once you stop birth control, your body is left to reboot without a clear roadmap. If your period disappeared, your skin broke out, or your mood dropped off a cliff, it’s because your system is trying to find its way back to balance and it needs help.
How We Help You Heal, Naturally
At Neighborhood Natural Medicine, we specialize in complex cases - when symptoms don’t make sense, when blood work looks “normal,” and when you’ve already tried everything else.
We take a root-cause, full-body approach grounded in Dr. Joseph’s signature framework of healing the 6–7 underlying causes of disease: detoxification, nutrient repletion, hormone communication, energy production, pH balance, and circulation.
Here’s how we support post-birth-control rebalancing:
Acupuncture with Purpose
This isn’t just about needles - it’s about precision, comfort, and results.
We stimulate key points that regulate the HPO axis, restore blood flow to the reproductive organs, and calm the nervous system (especially critical if anxiety has spiked).
Patients frequently notice more regular cycles, fewer cramps, better sleep, and mood stabilization within just a few sessions.
Naturopathic & Herbal Medicine
Most women coming off birth control are depleted. Zinc, B vitamins, magnesium, and gut flora often need serious rebuilding.
We use a highly personalized blend of:
Food-based strategies
Herbal tinctures
Whole-body mineral and nutrient repletion
Homeopathic support when appropriate
This is about restoring your reserves, so your body has what it needs to make and regulate hormones naturally.
Gentle Detox & Drainage
We don’t believe in harsh cleanses or pushing the body. But when synthetic hormones linger, the liver and lymphatic systems often need extra help.
We assess whether your detox pathways are open, gently support drainage (especially for estrogen metabolites), and help your system safely offload the residual impact of hormonal contraceptives.
Real Healing Stories from Real Patients
“After stopping the pill, I felt completely out of whack - no period, constant breakouts, exhausted all the time. I’d been told it was ‘normal,’ but it didn’t feel normal. Dr. Joseph helped me get my period back within two months, and my skin cleared naturally, no prescriptions, no harsh topicals. I’m so grateful I found this place.”
— M.R., Williamsburg
“I had been on the pill for 10 years and was terrified to come off it. I didn’t want my painful periods or acne to come back. Dr. Joseph walked me through a plan that actually worked. I’ve never felt more in sync with my cycle or more confident in my body.”
— J.G., Greenpoint
