EP 126 The Truth About Birth Control: A Conversation with Dr. Rachel Marinovsky

Postpartum University® Podcast

Let's take a deep dive into what providers don't tell you about the side effects of the birth control pill.

This episode, featuring the brilliant naturopathic doctor and physician Rachel Marinovsky from Kale Blossom, is a revealing conversation about the inadequacy of women's healthcare within the conventional medical system.

In this episode, we share:

• The origins of hormonal birth control and the concerning journey through history that brought it into such rampant use in our modern world. Rachel's insights highlight the risks and side effects that women aren't adequately informed about.
• Beyond birth control, we illuminate the environmental toxin factors affecting thyroid dysfunction, emphasizing the critical role of the thyroid gland in holistic well-being.
• We connect the dots between mental-emotional well-being and physical health, highlighting the impact of nutrition and the role hormonal birth control plays in nutrient deficiencies.
• Practical lifestyle changes, like proper hydration, adequate sleep, and regular meals, that can radically improve women's health.
• We reflect upon the importance of proper education at an early age for girls developing into adolescence and how we can bring about the changes we wish to see in the world of women's healthcare.
