Welcome to today’s episode, where we dive deep into a critical conversation that often doesn’t get the attention it deserves—the potential risks associated with hormonal contraceptives and the important discussions that might be missing from your doctor’s office.
Hormonal contraceptives have been widely praised for their effectiveness in preventing pregnancy and managing conditions like acne and menstrual irregularities. However, there’s a growing body of evidence that suggests these benefits might come with significant, and often under-discussed, risks. From increased risks of blood clots and strokes to potential links with depression and even certain types of cancer, the conversation about hormonal contraceptives is more nuanced than many of us realize.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
- What sex hormones we have
- What they do
- What hormonal contraceptives are
- What's in them
- How they work
- How they impact or natural hormones
- The negative downstream impact they have
- How bio-identical hormones are superior
- Options regarding birth control
- How your nutrition can impact your hormones
- A plea from me to get informed and find the right practitioner
