In this episode of Roots to Radiance, I’m opening up about a personal decision — why I’ve chosen not to take the oral contraceptive pill. This isn’t about judgment or telling anyone what to do with their body — it’s about sharing the research, the reality of how the pill works within the body, and the often-overlooked impact it can have on hormones, nutrient levels, and overall health.

We dive into:
✨ How the pill affects your natural cycle — and why the "period" you experience isn’t actually a real period
✨ The ripple effects on hormone balance, nutrient stores, and your gut health
✨ The power of tuning into your body’s natural signals and working with your cycle instead of suppressing it

Ultimately, this is about informed choices — because the more we understand our bodies, the more empowered we are to make the best decisions for our health.
