Ep. 36: The Birth Control Lie, Natural PMS Relief + Cycle Syncing with Hormone Expert Emily Detrick


Listen Later

In this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany sits down with Emily Detrick, an integrative nutrition health coach who has helped tens of thousands of women balance their hormones naturally. After years of struggling with the side effects of hormonal birth control, painful periods, and hormone imbalances, Emily has made it her mission to help women reclaim their cycles and feel at home in their bodies again.


Together, they unpack the biggest myths about women’s health — from the lie that PMS is “normal” to the overlooked truth that food, stress, and daily habits play a bigger role in hormone balance than most women have ever been taught. But this isn’t just a takedown of the pill and the medical system. It’s a hopeful conversation filled with practical tips and empowering science that every woman deserves to know.



If you’ve ever felt trapped by your period, out of sync with your body, or dismissed by a doctor, this conversation will leave you with practical tips to feel better and live in rhythm with your cycle.
