Does Birth Control Cause Nutrient Deficiencies?!

Millions of women take birth control for a number of reasons! From preventing pregnancy to managing certain medical conditions. There are known benefits of taking birth control, but there are also some downsides to know about (especially if you've been on the pill for a long period of time) which include possible vitamin absorption issues and nutritional deficiencies. Not all birth control is created equally, there are so many forms. Today, I am breaking it down so you can be better informed and reduce your risk for nutrient deficiencies. Listen up! The Flourish Heights Podcast was made for women, by women. To be empowered in health starts with a true connection with your body.
