The pill is the pioneer of hormonal contraception and it plays a massive role in our history. Back in the ’60s when it was first released, it was seen as a mascot for female empowerment and liberation during the women’s rights movement. Women finally had power over their own reproductive systems and bodies.

In 2021, 80% of Australian women and 200 million women worldwide are on some sort of hormonal contraceptive, however, many women don’t actually know how the pill works or the effects that it has on our amazing womanly bodies.

Your female reproductive system is not only for reproduction. Our female hormones have so many other functions within our bodies. 

So today, I want to help educate you on the oral contraceptive pill as well as other forms of hormonal contraception. I'll share with you a brief history of the pill and how it’s shaped us as a society. How your body functions before, what happens within your body during, and what happens when you transition off the pill; the aftermath. As well as what foods to include in your diet to support your female system, gut health, liver and mind during the different phases.

Whether you’re thinking about going on hormonal contraception, currently taking it or in the process of transitioning off hormonal contraception, I want to provide you with the right information so that you can feel empowered to make the best choice for you and your body because, at the end of the day, it’s YOUR choice.
