They explore the controversial topic of birth control, discussing the widespread misinformation and the varied perspectives on its use. Dr. Romm provides insights into the benefits and risks of hormonal contraceptives, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's body and making informed decisions. The conversation extends into a broader discussion on how women can reclaim control over their health through natural methods, proper education, and integrative approaches that encompass diet, lifestyle, and reducing exposure to environmental toxins.

As an author of several books on women's health, including the acclaimed "Hormone Intelligence," Dr. Romm has become a trusted voice for women seeking to understand and balance their hormones naturally.
