The Shallow Take: The pill is just a contraceptive…
In our very first guest episode (!!), we’re joined by menstrual health advocate @bethanwalters to unpack the real story behind the pill.
We’ve been prescribed it young, for cramps, acne, “regulating” our cycles - often without questioning what it’s really doing in our bodies. So is it even about preventing pregnancy anymore? Have we normalised taking hormonal birth control without understanding the impact?
We talk period pain, medical gaslighting, and ask the big one: should we be taking it at all?
Let’s dive in.
