74: Does Birth Control Mess with Your Hormones
Description
Birth control is often handed out as the quick fix for every hormonal symptom—painful periods, acne, mood swings, irregular cycles—but what if it’s actually making things worse?
In this week’s episode, Vanda breaks down what really happens to your hormones when you’re on birth control. You’ll learn how it shuts down communication between your brain and ovaries, which nutrients it depletes (and how that impacts your energy, mood, and thyroid), and what symptoms might actually be linked to the pill—like fatigue, low libido, and anxiety.
Whether you’re currently taking birth control or considering coming off, this episode will help you make an informed decision and start supporting your body naturally.
💜 Learn how to protect your hormones, replenish what’s been depleted, and take back control of your health—without judgment or confusion.
