For most of our lives, we've been handed a prescription and told it would fix everything — painful periods, irregular cycles, acne, you name it. But what if we were never actually given the full picture?
This isn't an anti-birth-control episode. It's a pro-information one.
In this episode, Brandee sits down with women's health expert Nicole Jardim for one of those conversations that makes you wish you'd had it ten years ago. They dig into what hormonal birth control is actually doing inside your body, why calling it a ”cycle regulator” is more marketing than medicine, and how suppressing ovulation can quietly affect everything from your mood and gut health to your nutrient levels and long-term wellbeing.
Nicole gets personal too — sharing her own experience with debilitating periods and years on the pill before she started asking the questions no one had thought to ask her.
Whether you're on hormonal birth control right now, thinking about coming off it, or just realizing there's a lot about your own hormones you were never taught — this episode meets you where you are, with science and real-world experience to back it up.
In This Episode:
- Why hormonal birth control does not actually regulate your menstrual cycle
- What happens to ovulation and hormone production while on the pill
- The connection between birth control and nutrient depletion
- The impact of birth control on gut health, inflammation, and the microbiome
- Understanding the nuanced conversation around cancer risk and hormonal contraceptives
- How fertility awareness methods support body literacy and reproductive health
- Practical considerations for coming off hormonal birth control and supporting your body through the transition
