My Story started in a small town with pain i couldn't ignore
Hi, I’m Emily. I grew up in Cedar Park, Texas the kind of place where everyone knows everyone. I was a normal, active girl… until my period started taking over my life.
By the time I was 16, my cramps weren’t “bad cramps.” They were drop-to-the-floor pain. Some months I’d feel dizzy, nauseous, and I’d miss school because I literally couldn’t stand up straight.
When I got into my first serious relationship, I finally went back to my doctor because I couldn’t keep living like that. She said what so many women hear: “Let’s put you on the pill. It usually helps with painful periods and it prevents pregnancy.”
So I started a combined birth control pill (an ethinyl estradiol + progestin pill the standard kind most doctors prescribe first). And honestly… in the beginning, it felt like the “responsible” choice. I thought I’d finally have control.
I had no idea what it would slowly start changing in the background.
The pain faded but everything else slowly fell apart.
At first, it felt like the right decision.
The pain during my period eased.
I could go to school. I could function.
And my doctor told me this was exactly how it was supposed to work.
But slowly almost unnoticeably other things started to change.
I was tired all the time, even after sleeping.
My moods felt unpredictable.
My skin changed. My hair felt thinner.
I stopped feeling connected to my body and to myself.
The hardest part?
Nothing felt wrong enough to stop taking the pill.
Every check-up ended the same way:
“This is normal.”
“Your body will adjust.”
“Stress can cause that too.”
So I kept going because I trusted that this was just part of being a woman.
I didn’t realize yet that my body wasn’t adjusting.
It was compensating.
When the side effects slowly became my “new normal”
By my early twenties, something had clearly changed but I couldn’t point to one exact moment.
I was tired all the time, even after sleeping.
My skin wasn’t the same anymore.
My hair felt thinner.
My mood felt flatter.
My libido was almost gone.
But the strangest part?
I didn’t immediately connect it to birth control.
Doctors told me everything was “within range.” Friends said this was just part of being a woman.
So I did what most women do I adjusted.
I blamed stress.
I blamed my lifestyle.
I blamed myself.
Looking back now, this was the most dangerous phase:
when the symptoms don’t feel extreme enough to panic
but constant enough that you quietly accept them as normal.
When I realized it wasn’t ‘just me’ and couldn’t unsee it anymore.
For years, I accepted what doctors told me.
“This is normal.”
“Your body just changes.”
“It’s probably stress.”
But deep down, something didn’t sit right.
I hadn’t changed my lifestyle.
I hadn’t changed my diet.
I hadn’t changed who I was.
Yet my body kept drifting further away from how it used to feel.
That’s when I started paying attention.. not just to myself, but to other women around me.
Friends. Classmates. Coworkers.
Different lives. Different bodies.
The same complaints.
Fatigue that never fully lifted.
Hair thinning no one could explain.
Skin issues that came out of nowhere.
A flat mood. Low libido. Feeling disconnected from their own body.
Almost all of us had one thing in common.
We were on hormonal birth control.
When I started digging deeper, the pattern became impossible to ignore.
Studies. Forums. Medical literature.
More than 70–75% of women on hormonal birth control report side effects, many of them long-term.
And yet, there was no real solution.
No support.
No education.
No formula designed to help women while staying on birth control.
That’s when I knew this wasn’t just my story anymore.
That’s when I realized this wasn’t just a problem it was a gap.
After months of reading studies, forums, and medical papers, one thing became painfully clear.
Women weren’t imagining these side effects.
And they weren’t alone.
Yet every solution I found treated symptoms separately a pill for skin, another for energy, something else for mood.
Nothing was designed for women who stay on birth control and just want to feel normal again.
So I started talking to people who actually understand hormones.
Functional medicine practitioners. Nutritional scientists. Women’s health specialists.
That’s when I learned something no doctor had ever told me:
birth control creates predictable nutrient depletions and hormonal pressure points
and those can be supported, if you know what to look for.
The problem wasn’t that solutions didn’t exist.
The problem was that no one had ever put them together for women like us.
From Personal Struggle to a Purpose-Driven Formula
I started reaching out to people who actually understood hormones
women’s health specialists, nutrition scientists, formulation experts.
I shared my story.
My symptoms.
My research.
The patterns I kept seeing again and again in women like me.
They confirmed what I had slowly begun to realize:
hormonal birth control doesn’t just prevent pregnancy
it changes nutrient demands, hormone signaling, and how the body regulates energy, mood, skin, hair and stress.
Together, we mapped out what birth control puts under pressure
and what the body needs to function properly alongside it.
Not a quick fix.
Not a trend.
Not another “one-size-fits-all” supplement.
A purpose-built formula, designed specifically for women on hormonal birth control
using researched forms, meaningful dosages, and ingredients chosen for long-term daily support.
That process became the foundation of MyBalance™ HerRestore.
Not created to sell a product
but created because this support simply didn’t exist yet.
This didn’t start as a brand. It started as a need one I couldn’t ignore anymore.

It started as a need one I couldn’t ignore anymore.
