Ep. 131 The Truth About Hormonal Birth Control with Alex Long


Listen Later

We are not anti-birth control… we want you to be educated on your options and the truth...

 

When we speak of birth control on this episode, we are specifically covering hormonal birth control. There are many forms of non-hormonal birth control methods including condoms, spermicide, and the Copper IUD. We want you to be informed about hormonal birth control specifically.

 

We have our head coach Alex Long back on the show to discuss this topic in depth! Alex has first hand knowledge herself coming off of birth control recently along with helping many of our navigate their birth control modalities as well.

 

In this episode, we discuss the process of ovulation so you have a baseline understanding of what's happening at a hormonal level, why so many women are prescribed birth control especially at a young age, potential symptoms of birth control, and more!
