Empowering Women: Unveiling Truths About Birth Control & Hormonal Health
Description
Birth control has long been considered "safe and effective," but more and more women are coming forward on social media to reveal the opposite... They're sharing stories (like mine) about the liver tumors they had to have removed or (like our guest, Emmalee's) the blood clots it caused.
While I think this transparency is helpful for others to make truly informed decisions about their health, another sad fact remains... A lot of women still admit to not really knowing much about their bodies or how their hormones work.
Today's guest, who goes by The Hormone Honey on Instagram, is here to:
- share her story
- demystify the menstrual cycle
- shed light on the dangers of hormonal birth control
- explain why birth control is often referred to as a "band-aid" for other issues
- discuss alternative options you have to actually heal
- provide science-backed contraceptive methods that won't harm you
We're not here to shame anyone who uses birth control. Instead, we want to share our stories to encourage you to be your own best advocate.
