The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 233: Birth Control, Autoimmune, and "Business Meetings"

Intro (0:00)

News and Views (0:40)

Now it's Sarah's turn to be whiny sick! Oh well! We soldier on.

This is a podcast about birth control and sex. As they say on This American Life, this episode acknowledges the existence of sex.

We're asked this quite frequently and it's important for women to discuss these topics and get as much information as possible.

Stacy had a tubal ligation after a difficult birth experience with Wesley, so this will be a refresher for her after 7 years of not worrying about it!

We do recommend The Mick, starring Kaitlin Olson from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but only for mature audiences.

The show was in fact a debate in comedy form about the pros and cons of birth control and sex. Pretty fascinating!

The debate has evolved and now we talk more about the drawbacks of hormonal birth control, and we have many more options.

Question from Kayla (8:55): "Hi Ladies! First off, let me tell you that you both are amazing. I am not exaggerating when I say The Paleo View saved my life by introducing me to AIP. Thank you thank you thank you for all of the incredibly important work you do. With that said, I'd like to warn Stacy: This question acknowledges the existence of the - uhh - "horizontal hula". I am wondering if you can shed some light on IUDs for those of us with autoimmune disease. Here's the backstory: I went on the pill for purely birth-control reasons when I was 18 (my skin has always been great and I am the only woman in my family not to have endometriosis - woo woo!). Nothing but my bra size was impacted by the pill, but I went off of it after my duel Celiac/Hashimoto's diagnosis as part of my huge diet and lifestyle overhaul. While condoms were fine during the awful years surrounding my diagnoses (nothing like bone-on-bone hip pain, fatigue, and a giant bloated stomach to get you in the mood, right??), we were still stressed about an unplanned pregnancy every month because my period took about 9 months to come back after the pill (thanks for the ironic timing, lady-parts). Flash forward to now: My current AIP diet, paired with stress management, sleep, thyroid supplementation, and surgery/physical therapy for my gnarly hip arthritis, and let's just say my - errrrr - "
