Description

Birth control is one of the most commonly used medications among women, but how much do we really understand about its effects on our health, performance, and fitness goals? In this episode, I sit down with Sam Miller—coach, mentor, bestselling author, and metabolism expert—to unpack the latest research on hormonal contraceptives, including a study showing female athletes on birth control. We break down what this means for women navigating autoimmune conditions, gut health, or chronic inflammation. Whether you’re currently using birth control, considering it, or just curious, this conversation will give you the tools to weigh the risks, rewards, and alternatives with confidence.
