This episode features a profound discussion with Taylor Lechner, who specializes in functional nutrition and women's health, specifically transitioning off of birth control. Taylor shares her story of being put on birth control after her period disappeared at 18 from an undiagnosed eating disorder. Upon learning of the terrible side effects 10 years later, she quit cold turkey and suffered terrible side effects. Her work is now informed by this experience and she aims to help other women better prepare for this transition. She explains the concept of a 'fake cycle' induced by hormonal contraceptives and how they disrupt the body's natural hormone production. Taylor advocates for a root cause approach to hormone health and highlights the empowering potential of cycle syncing, promoting a balanced and holistic lifestyle for women seeking to reclaim their well-being.
