In this eye-opening episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with Functional Hormone Practitioner Elizabeth Katzman to uncover a silent struggle many women face after stopping hormonal birth control — what Elizabeth calls “The Pill Hangover.”

If you’ve ever stopped the pill expecting your body to bounce right back, only to face anxiety, weight gain, cycle changes, gut issues, or just a sense that something’s off, this conversation will help you understand why — and how to heal.

Elizabeth shares how hormonal birth control affects your body’s natural rhythm, nutrient stores, gut health, and mood regulation. You’ll learn what’s really happening beneath the surface, why doctors often miss it, and how to gently restore hormonal balance through nourishment, not restriction.

Together, Cody and Elizabeth explore:

What “The Pill Hangover” really means — and why it’s so common

How birth control impacts your hormones, gut, mood, and metabolism

Which nutrients are most depleted and how to replenish them

Why post-pill anxiety and irregular cycles are biological, not imagined

 Root-cause strategies to restore balance and feel like yourself again

This episode is validating, hopeful, and full of practical takeaways for every woman — whether you’re thinking of stopping birth control, already have, or are simply ready to understand your body better.
