E129: Birth Control Doesn't Balance Your Hormones - The BTS of How Birth Control Really Works & What You Can Do Instead

Have you been on hormonal birth control? I have and I know that it's so common to be on birth control for hormone issues, to prevent pregnancy, or kind of just because sometimes. Today I'm diving into the true BTS of hormonal birth control. How does it really work in your brain and body? Did you know it can affect things like who you choose as a mate, how you learn, and even your mood and personality? I love this quote from the book "This is Your Brain on Birth Control" that says "Changing women's hormones changes women." I couldn't agree more and that's why I'm here - to help you change your hormones for the better so you can thrive.
