The Revive Wellness Podcast

What your doctor isn't telling you about hormonal birth control

Allison Fahrenbach Season 1 Episode 11

In today's episode I'm tackling a trending topic- hormonal birth control. 

Ironically, this episode is releasing in the wake of a controversial Washington Post article (which I will link below in the show notes) about the explosion of women who are stopping their birth control because they aren't have a positive experience while on it.

I have blogged on this topic in years past, and done several posts on Instagram, but I wanted to do a full podcast, because it's something I feel very very passionate about.

Women deserve to have all the information PRIOR to taking birth control, and unfortunately many times they are not given this by their providers.

In today's episode I will discuss:

  • The widespread use of hormonal birth control
  • The dangers of giving birth control use to teenage girls 
  • Why natural ovulation is important for women's health 
  • Why birth control is not a true root cause solution, at best it is symptom management
  • The short and long term side effects of birth control use
