About this episode
This episode discusses the impacts of birth control on the body and provides functional recommendations for transitioning off it.
In this episode of Functional Nutrition Radio , we're diving into all things birth control ~ how it impacts your body, including its effects on your hormones (no birth control isn't balancing your hormones), nutrient status, gut health, and more. I'm breaking down what you really need to know if you're currently on it or thinking about coming off. Plus, I'm sharing my functional recommendations for transitioning off birth control in a way that supports your body, balances your hormones, and sets you up for long-term health. Whether you're on the pill, patch, or IUD, this episode is a must-listen. Resources: Birth Control Attraction Blog Ready to work with us 1:1? You know, stop the guess work?
