So first of all - this podcast research was done by the wonderful Coach Brittany. We did film it together HOWEVER we had technical difficulties and not all of it was recorded. I had to re-record it solo BUT GIVE ALL CREDIT TO THIS INFORMATION TO HER! I am simply the one who delivered it.

In a past episode we went over how birth control affects our body’s natural production of hormones and the side effects that come with it and how it does not actually solve your hormonal symptoms but masks them (and can actually make them worse - making coming off birth control really hard - I learned that the hard way.

So today I covered a ton of alternatives to hormonal birth control thanks to all of Brittany’s research.

I HIGHLY recommend you go back to our original birth control podcast as it gives you a ton of information and background!
