In this episode of The SA Node, we're taking a deep, practical look at birth control-from combination and progestin-only pills to IUDs, the patch, ring, implant, injection, and non-hormonal options like Phexxi. 

You'll learn:

1. How each method works.

2. Who it's for-and who it's not for.

3. Side effects and real risks.

4. Drug, food, and supplement interactions (yes, even "natural" ones).

5. And what questions to ask your provider to make empowered choices. 

Whether you're already using birth control, considering it, or just want to better understand your body, this is your go-to breakdown-clear, balanced, and BS-Free.
