Wrapping up the final episode of season two a little early the same way I began my entire business, social media platforms, and podcast…for the girls. Now more than ever it is so important for us women to gain an understanding of our reproductive health and learn to water the seeds we see on social media.

My hope is this podcast and my platforms being a space where you can gather seeds and be encouraged to water them. This space will always be a space for women to feel informed, loved, seen, heard, and most importantly…safe.

Here are resources you can use to get informed:

My favorite book for female reproductive health: Hormone Intelligence by Aviva Romm, M.D.

My favorite website for general research and information: The Cleveland Clinic

In today's episode we are going to go over everything I suggest you do to prepare your body for getting off of hormonal birth control. From learning about the female cycle and how to track to proper supplementation and what different forms of hormonal birth control do to your body...and everything in between!

I am not a doctor or certified in anything we are chatting about today. I am not against hormonal birth control by any means. I am for informed consent and knowing what you are putting into your body.

Always do your research, consult with an unbiased medical professional, and do what is best FOR YOU!
