The Birth Control Dilemma: What are Hormonal Contraceptives Really Doing to Your Body?

When I got married, I made the choice I thought you had to make: take birth control... and it took me years to dig myself out of the hole that it put me in! Welcome to the first episode of my THIRD season of Be Whole. Be Well. Be Wise. Today we’re talking about the truth about birth control and how it impacts the female body from a faith-based perspective. I hope this is an informative topic that will inform and educate you on some of the complications of taking birth control, otherwise known as hormonal contraceptives. I do not seek to offend or become controversial. I hope other women can see a timeline overlap from when their symptoms began and overlay it with taking hormonal contraceptives and I hope you can find ways to replenish your body, and make decisions based on this information that can improve your overall health and well-being.We are going to dive into: -the mechanisms of birth control-how it impacts your brain, gut, and minerals-how you know you are ready to conceive after taking hormonal contraceptive-how you can replenish your body if you have taken hormonal contraceptivesResources mentioned in the episode:https://drbrighten.com/post-birth-control-syndrome/ Thank you love for being with us today, and thanks for listening to Be Whole.
