I'm going off the pill! All things cycle syncing, hormone health and more with clinical nutritionist Sarah Cooper

Selfdom

Today’s episode is one that I am really excited for, because it aligns to a big change in my life. I have been on birth control for a decade, and for fear of breaking out and other side effects, I haven’t gotten off it.

A little bit about my own experience, I was put on the pill when I was 15 and didn’t really have a choice or know much about it. My mum had been on it for majority of her life, and she made me go on it for contraception.

At the time the only risks we knew of were potential blood clots. I am 28 now, and I have made the decision to get off the pill for a number of reasons. The main one is that I have chosen to be as natural as possible when it comes to what I feed myself, so it feels right to become better intune with my 28 day natural cycle.

I genuinely feel like I owe it to myself as an act of self love. In all honesty I am scared to get off it becasue I don’t really know myself without it. This is why today’s guest couldn’t have come at a better time.

A lot of you may know Sarah Cooper for her instagram @scoopitup. A little bit about this power house, Sarah is a clinical nutritionist aswell as a pilates instructor who is well studied in how to move and nourish at different stages of our cycle. I personally feel like no one ever taught me anything about this and I am excited to be bringing this knowledge to the forefront. People like Sarah are my favourite to follow because I always learn and get inspired by her content.
