Is Birth Control Destroying Your Hormones? What Every Woman Needs to Know | Dr. Aviva Romm (Fan Fav)

This is a Fan Fav episode. From the very start of this conversation, I was fired up! I brought Dr. Aviva Romm on Women of Impact—an M.D., midwife, herbalist, and author of Hormone Intelligence—to unravel the web of confusion and shame that keeps so many women feeling powerless about their hormones, periods, and health. Aviva exposes the damaging myths we’re taught, reveals how our cycles impact everything from our confidence to our career momentum, and—let me tell you—it’s not about “just suffering” through being a woman. Get ready to find out the best times in your cycle for asking for a raise, why you may want to hide your credit card before your period, and how you can start tracking your unique “normal” so you feel confident, not crazy. Aviva and I dive deep, get super tactical, and, real talk, help you reclaim your power—because knowledge is, truly, power. SHOWNOTES The truth about what’s “normal” vs. what’s common when it comes to women’s hormones and periods How environmental factors—including antibiotics and toxins—affect your hormonal health from childhood Why feeling moody, suffering, or being “out of control” isn’t actually normal for women The life-changing impact of tracking your cycle for confidence, career moves, and emotional well-being Planning your life around your menstrual cycle: confidence highs, energy peaks, and when to avoid shopping sprees How gut health, food choices, and the microbiome influence mood, hormones, and overall vitality The critical link between self-blame, misdiagnosis, and delayed treatment for issues like endometriosis Dispelling myths around birth control: what your doctor probably never told you about side effects How to nurture a positive relationship with your body, pleasure, and sexual desire through each hormone phase Turning lifestyle changes—not quick fixes—into real, lasting hormonal balance and personal empowerment FOLLOW DR.
