You started hormonal birth control for peace of mind.
But instead of feeling secure, youâre feeling⌠off.
Anxious for no reason. Low without a cause. Or worseânothing at all. Just numb.
What if the pill that was supposed to help you take control is quietly affecting your mental health?
In this eye-opening and heartfelt episode, mindfulness and womenâs health expert Dr. Soha shines a long-overdue light on a truth many women have lived but few talk about: Hormonal birth control can significantly impact mood, mental clarity, and emotional well-being.
From the synthetic hormones that cross the blood-brain barrier to their effects on serotonin, dopamine, and cortisol, Dr. Soha breaks down the real science behind how contraceptives like the pill, IUD, or implant can:
Trigger anxiety, depression, or mood swings
Reduce emotional sensitivity and libido
Disrupt gut health, energy, and even self-identity
Create a cycle of symptoms that often go unlinked to the root cause
But this isnât about fear. Itâs about awareness, agency, and healing.
Dr. Soha shares:
The signs your birth control might be affecting your mental health
How long-term use can impact hormonal recovery and post-pill healing
What to discuss with your doctor â and what alternatives exist
Steps to reconnect with your bodyâs natural rhythm and reclaim emotional balance
đ§ If youâve ever thought, âIâm not like myself anymore,â this conversation could be the missing piece.
Youâre not broken.
Youâre not âjust hormonal.â
You might just need to ask: Is this me â or is this my birth control?
