In today's episode of Super Woman Wellness, we tackle the essential topic of birth control and its impact on hormone balance with Dr. Taz. Birth control is commonly used for contraception, but many women also use it for hormone regulation without fully understanding the potential consequences. Dr. Taz breaks down the science behind birth control hormones, the importance of genetic and health profiles, and how to make informed decisions about birth control options.

We dive into the different types of hormones found in birth control, the role of gut and liver health, and the genetic factors that can influence how your body metabolizes these hormones. Dr. Taz also discusses the potential nutrient depletions caused by birth control and offers practical advice on supporting your body nutritionally while using birth control.

  • Understanding Birth Control Hormones: Explore the different hormones in birth control pills and devices, including estradiol and progestin, and how they affect your body.
