391 - Hormonal vs. Non-Hormonal Birth Control: Which Birth Control Method is Right for You?


Listen Later

In today's episode of Superwoman Wellness, I delve into the complex world of birth control, exploring the key differences between hormonal and non-hormonal methods. Join me as I break down the pros and cons of each option, helping you make an informed decision that aligns with your health needs and lifestyle. Discover how hormonal birth control can regulate cycles, alleviate painful periods, and manage mood swings, while also understanding the potential side effects like weight gain and headaches. Learn about non-hormonal alternatives such as diaphragms, cervical caps, and non-hormonal IUDs that can be effective without altering your body's natural hormone balance.
