Summary
Birth control - it’s a hot topic in more ways than one. There are many misconceptions and misguided information when it comes to understanding birth control and its effects on your body. So today Erin sits down with Rachel Mistry, RD, MSN, the Lead Practitioner on our team, as we dive in and discuss what is “Post-Birth Control Syndrome”, how birth control affects our cycle and different systems in the body, post-pill detoxification, and more. They also discuss therapeutic interventions and what to do when you’re on or off the pill.
In this episode, please keep in mind that we are not anti-birth control, we are pro-education. That being said, Erin’s stance on birth control is “You are the authority on you. You decide what to do with your body. I believe in informed consent. But in order for you to give informed consent, you must first be informed.”
In this episode:
Defining Post-Birth Control Syndrome, the symptoms & how the pill works [3:40]
How birth control can disrupt the phases in your cycle [8:07]
Listening & connecting your mind and body during your cycle [14:40]
The different systems that birth control can impact, nutrients & side effects of deficiencies [20:19]
Let’s talk about post-pill detoxification [27:46]
Hormonal imbalances when you’re on and off the pill & why acne post-pill so common [47:02]
Real-world examples of what we see in clinic with the pill – and what helps[49:51]

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Functional Nutrition Podcast. I'm your host, Erin Holt. I'm an integrative |
| 0:06.9 | and functional medicine nutritionist with a feisty attitude in well over a decade of clinical experience. |
| 0:13.1 | I work with women all over the world through my online programs. And I'm also the founder of the |
| 0:18.0 | Functional Nutrition Academy, a school in practitioner mentorship |
| 0:21.7 | where we help other clinicians level up with functional medicine methodologies. I've got a bone |
| 0:27.6 | to pick with diet culture and the conventional health care model that are both systematically failing |
| 0:32.9 | so many of us. Creating a new model is my life's work, and this is what this show's all about. |
| 0:39.3 | Please keep in mind, this podcast is created for educational purposes only and should never |
| 0:44.0 | be used as a replacement for medical diagnosis or treatment. If you like what you hear |
| 0:48.4 | today, I would love for you to subscribe to the show, leave a review in iTunes, share with |
| 0:52.9 | a friend, and keep coming back for more. |

| 1:00.6 | All right, friends, we are back. Today we're going to talk about post birth control syndrome. |
| 1:06.7 | This is something that we see kind of a lot in practice. We've talked about birth control and |
| 1:11.5 | have different people on the podcast throughout the years, but it's been like a minute. And like I said, |
| 1:17.2 | it's something that we're seeing a lot in practice. It's definitely something that we see in your |
| 1:21.5 | hormone revival. So today I have our lead practitioner here, Rachel Mystery, with us, and she's going to kind of unpack |
| 1:28.7 | what the heck is going on and why we're seeing this. And if you are somebody who's experiencing |
| 1:33.4 | some of these symptoms, I think this is going to be a awesome episode for you. I just want to |
| 1:37.5 | remind everybody that registration for your hormone revival opens February 16th. You can head |
| 1:43.5 | to the functional nutritionist.com forward slash Y. |
