From lowered serotonin to adrenal stress and post-pill recovery challenges, the effects can linger long after you stop taking it.Dr. Soha breaks down:Why “feeling off” is a real, valid response—not a flawThe most common mental and physical side effects of the pill, IUD, and other hormonal methodsHow hormonal birth control can mute emotions, dull desire, and disrupt your natural rhythmWhat to look for if you’re considering a changeSteps to heal your hormones, restore balance, and reconnect with your authentic self—whether you stay on, switch, or go off hormonal controlThis isn’t about blaming birth control.It’s about listening to your body, making informed choices, and reclaiming your well-being with compassion and clarity.🎧 Tune in if you’ve ever thought: “I used to feel more like me.”Healing begins with asking the right question._____________________________________________________________________________Theraputic Session by [Dr.Soha]Why You Feel 'Off' on Birth Control And What to Do About It – Dr. Soha."Produced by [Team Relaxire]Special thanks to [All our listeners on all platforms]For collabs & partnerships: [email protected] | All rights reserved
