Such a fun + informative convo with my friend and fellow RD - Kara Goss. This was a jam packed episode on all things related to women's health and hormonal birth control (fellas.. this is an important conversation for you to hear too). Topics discussed:

-Types of hormonal birth control (HBC), how they generally work + considerations when starting.

-Nutritional considerations while taking HBC.

-Coming off birth control + post-birth control syndrome: what to expect, what symptoms might present and how to approach your nutrition alongside that.

-Lifestyle modifications for symptom management & hormonal health.

-How suboptimal nutrition and restriction can negatively impact women post-birth control.

-How can we improve body comp + take care of our internal health simultaneously?

-Important mindset shifts and doing the inner work alongside external transformations.

+ so many things in-between.

This episode is a must listen - I know you'll love this one.
