The pill was a huge step for social change and has allowed women to have greater control over their lives since its development. But from its contraceptive beginnings (when it was illegal to even call it "contraception"!), it's now used as a bandaid for a myriad of symptoms. Cloe and Kate talk about the important repercussions of this and share what you need to know to make a more informed choice.

Warning – There are some swear words because we get worked up about women's health bullsh*t.

We LOVE science-based research. Studies mentioned in this episode:

The AMAZING paper that Cloe talked about.

Some studies on pill-induced nutrient depletions can be found here and here.

The study Kate mentioned about adolescent pill use and depression.
