In today's episode, I'm talking about the connection between birth control and iron levels and what you can do about it. If you're struggling with low iron, talk to your healthcare provider about developing a personalized plan that looks at optimizing your whole person.

Birth control pills can affect your body in multiple ways:

• They contain synthetic estrogen
• This increases a hormone called hepcidin
• Hepcidin is your body's iron gatekeeper
