To be 100% honest, we had no clue how the birth control pill actually works to prevent pregnancy, what it does inside the body, or how it affects our overall health until VERY recently (we're talking like 6-7 years after first going on the pill). Unfortunately, it's just not something that's ever well explained to women, and we're often left feeling like we don't have many other options. In this episode, we chat about our experiences with birth control, the unanswered questions that leave many women feeling confused, alternatives you can seek out if you're wishing to take a different route, and ways to best support your body when on the pill or coming off of it. Stay tuned for more resources to be shared on our Instagram @wellnessdigestpod and a Birth Control Q&A with us on our stories!
