Welcome back to the second half of this two-part series, 10 Birth Control Myths and Realities You Should Really Know!

In part one, I explored the Pill's connection to blood clots, cancer, depression, and cognitive changes. Through rigorous research and analysis, I shed light on the myths and truths behind these assertions and explored whether there is any validity to them.

Today, we continue our mission to separate fact from fiction as we go deeper into this topic.

In part two, I uncover whether or how the Pill influences…

Autoimmune and inflammatory issues
Nutrient status
Bone density
Weight gain and blood sugar problems
Sex drive
Mate selection and attraction

In Part 2, I also go over specific risk factors that can be contraindications to hormonal contraception, many of which your medical provider might not discuss with you!

As we wrap up this series, my aim is for you to have a thorough understanding of the Pill, equipping you with the knowledge to make informed decisions that align with your body and well-being. This series is a 'must-listen' for anyone currently using the Pill for contraception of hormonal symptoms or considering it as a contraceptive option.
