Nutritional biochemist & naturopathic physician Dr. Jolene Brighten joins the girls this week to discuss the effects the pill has on the female body. She is a leader in educating women on balancing their hormones through a healthy lifestyle without use of synthetic. (ii.e. kind of fake) hormones. In this podcast episode, Dr. Brighten explains how the pill is like a mask for underlying hormonal issues that cause period pain, acne, period regulation, endometriosis, etc. The pill turns off the conversation between the reproductive system with the brain and how this can lead to problems with fertility. If you've ever been on the pill or have considered being on hormonal birth control, you're going to be fascinated and feel more empowered about the choices you make for your body after listening to this.  Dr. Brighten’s Website Dr. Brighten’s Instagram
