Episode 74: The Hidden Side of Birth Control: Nutrient Depletion, Hormones & Your Health (Solo Episode)

Most women are told that birth control “balances” their hormones—but the truth is far more complicated. In this episode, Monika breaks down the hidden side of the pill: the difference between progestin and real progesterone, how birth control shuts down your natural cycle, the key nutrients it depletes (B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, vitamin C, selenium), and why masking symptoms can leave you struggling even more in perimenopause and menopause.

This is not about being anti–birth control. It’s about being pro–informed decision. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re still tired, moody, bloated, or breaking out even on the pill—or if you’re ready to explore true hormone balance—this episode will give you the clarity to advocate for yourself and choose the path that’s right for your body.

👉 If you’re ready to stop masking symptoms and finally fix your hormones, apply to work with Monika here and explore functional testing, holistic hormone balancing protocols and hormone replacement therapy options.
