You like to eat right. You take pride in shopping at farmers markets, where the produce is fresh and nutritious—and preferably grown without the pesticides that can wreak havoc on your endocrine system. You try to consume organic meat, eggs, and dairy, raised without synthetic hormones. But every day, at the exact same time, you also take a little pill that potentially undoes so much of the mindfulness you put into what you eat. What pill is that? Well, it’s actually the Pill.


Since at least the 1970s, researchers have known that the Pill depletes women’s bodies of essential nutrients. More recently, it’s also been suspected that the Pill can wreak havoc on your gut, too.

Natural Womanhood is the most far-reaching women’s health literacy program since the Pill. We exist because many women are harmed by or at risk from the use of contraceptives, and most don’t know they have a viable alternative.

Natural Womanhood is a non-profit corporation dedicated to the promotion of fertility charting, as a way to promote disease prevention, self-knowledge, relational intimacy, and effective family planning. Natural Womanhood helps young women and couples regardless of their income, ethnicity, or religion.
