How Birth Control Destroyed My Health & Changed My Perspective The Creative Cantina Podcast

Ever feel like your anxiety is getting worse? Sometimes wonder if the pill is actually helping your hormones or just covering up the bigger issue? You're not alone.
After seven years on oral birth control, I discovered just how much it was wreaking havoc on my body. Multiple health conditions (and a tumor) later, I swore it off for good.
In honor of 4 years post-op this month, I recorded this episode where I'm sharing:
My story of why I was put on the pill in the first place.Why that was a disservice to my health (and possibly yours).What it did to my body.The story of finding my tumor & the surgery.What I learned in hindsight.Why birth control may be something you want to reconsider.What I've been using as a non-invasive contraceptive instead.I also mention a couple resources linked below:
If you want to support your body better while on the pill, go off of it intentionally, or simply learn what it's doing to your body: Beyond the Pill by Jolene BrightenIf you want to learn about your hormones, how to tell when you're ovulating, & the science behind your cycle: Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni WeschlerIf you want to check out the non-invasive birth control option I have used for the past few years & save 20%: Natural CyclesAlso, it goes without saying that I'm not a doctor. This is not medical advice. It's simply my experience / story.
