E14: What I Wish I Knew Before & After Birth Control

Send us a text

Hey friends, today Dr. Heather Rhodes and I are talking about birth control. This is one of my favorite topics because birth control is often offered as the only solution to hormone issues and I LOVE shedding light on how it works and helping women gain informed consent in their birth control decisions.

First things first, this episode isn’t about making you stop or start taking birth control, that is 100%, your personal decision – and we strongly advise you to talk to your doctor before making those decisions.

We're not here to tell you what to do, we’re here to empower you, let you know what birth control does in your body, what other options you have, and give you the information you need to make the best decision for your body.


In this episode:

• [04:04] What you probably haven’t been told about birth control
• [08:10] What happens in your body when you’re on birth control
• [15:00] Birth control to prevent and control hormonal symptoms 
• [19:20] Birth control side effects you should know
• [23:38] How birth control influences our mood
• [27:50] How birth control affects nutrients and minerals in our body
• [29:52] Long-term effects of birth control and AMH
