Birth Control + Perimenopause | MMP Ep. 103
OVER 100 MILLION WOMEN ARE ON THE BIRTH CONTROL PILL! That is a lot! But when chatting with women 1:1 I realized that they had NO idea how it affected their natural hormone production, how their body functions, how they feel AND how it affected their menopausal transition! In this episode I had the wonderful Coach Brittany on to help us unpack the following: - What exactly IS birth control? -How does birth control work? - Different types of birth control - How it works for symptom management - How it affects our hormone production - How it affects our thyroid and adrenals - How it affects our gut health and liver - AND A WHOLE LOT MORE! There will be a part 2 and 3 coming out in the future because we honestly could NOT fit everything into one episode!
