I have Dr. Hannah Anderson and Dr. Calla Jayne Kleene joining me for part 1 of a two-part series today. We discuss female anatomy, the pros and cons of birth control, the importance of informed consent, and how to support women who choose to take birth control.
Next week, in part 2, we will continue discussing how to support women who choose to take birth control and get into which non-hormone birth control options are best. We will also share non-toxic feminine care products and explain how to detect female hormone imbalances. 
Pros of birth control

Cons of birth control

It may cause PMS, PMDD, PCOS, and more

It gets prescribed for issues other than pregnancy in the female population

It causes B vitamin depletion
