I get so many questions from women doing our program and challenges about taking hormonal birth control, including the pill, IUD, depo shot, and more.I actually took the pill for many years. I didn’t understand why it was so important to ovulate and have a period. The doctor never warned me, and I didn’t do any research on it back then. I just thought it was convenient to not have a period, and at the time, I didn’t want to fall pregnant.So I thought I'd get Amanda on the podcast to talk about how birth control interferes with your hormones and why having a healthy ovulatory cycle is so important for all women even if you don't want to fall pregnant.In this episode, we discuss:➡️How the menstrual cycle works➡️Why ovulation (and progesterone) is so important➡️How birth control suppresses ovulation➡️How the menstrual cycle offers insights into your overall health➡️What happens when you stop taking the pill➡️How a woman becomes estrogen dominant➡️How stress impacts the menstrual cycle and ovulation➡️The effects of alcohol on the menstrual cycle➡️How IUDs interfere with your hormones➡️Symptoms from birth control and synthetic hormones➡️Why it takes time to get your hormones back on track after birth control (and how much time it typically takes)➡️How you can support your body when coming off of birth controlHappy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.
