As women, we have been prescribed hormonal birth control for years to "fix our cycles" and "regulate our hormones". It's a hard pill to swallow when these statements actually couldn't be further from the truth.
Most women don't know the dangers of the pill and how the pill actually suppresses our own natural hormone production. In this episode, we dive deep into what 'the pill' is, the dangers behind it, how to transition off, how to avoid pregnancy while off the pill, and how to restore hormones back to normal after years of synthetic hormones.
While I am not in support of hormonal birth control for myself, I am in HUGE support of educating women on the options out there and empowering them to make the best educated decisions based on their lives and health.
