I Wish Someone Had Told Me This Before I Started Birth Control | Ep 16

For years, birth control has been marketed as freedom, a solution, a fix. But what if we were never told the full story?In this episode, I sit down with Kathrine, functional nutritionist with a background in psychology, exercise science, and women’s health (and in her former life a division 1 swimming coach) to talk about what we wish we knew about birth control before taking it.We cover:The hidden history of birth control and how it was developedWhy so many women are prescribed the pill for non-contraceptive reasons (cramps, acne, irregular cycles) and what’s really happeningThe trade-offs—does birth control give women freedom, or does it come with consequences we weren’t told about?The mental and emotional shifts that can happen on birth control, including how it changes who we’re attracted toThe gut-hormone connection: how birth control impacts our microbiome, thyroid, and nutrient levelsNatural alternatives: fertility awareness, cycle syncing, and what’s actually effectiveThis is a must-listen for any woman wanting to make an informed choice about her body. No shame, no judgment—just real talk and the information we all deserve to have.Looking for support on how to come off?
