Summary

HAPPY MONDAY <3
Dr. Jolene Brighten joins the podcast this week to talk all things birth control and  hormonal imbalances. We've been waiting for this one!!

Dr. Jolene Brighten NMD, is a hormone expert, nutrition scientist, and thought leader in women’s medicine. She is board certified in naturopathic endocrinology and trained in clinical sexology. Dr. Brighten is the author of Is This Normal and Beyond The Pill, a non-judgemental guide to creating hormone balance, eliminating unwanted symptoms, and building the sexual desire you crave.

We asked listeners to write in their questions.. and Dr. Jolene answered! How does hormonal birth control affect your mental health? Sex drive? Digestion?

And to be clear, she is not anti-brith control. Not at all. She is pro-informed consent and helping you make the
best decision for you. She is dedicated to uncovering the root cause of your symptoms.

Soph candidly shares her journey off the pill & Syd shares her current experience being on the pill. Listener #StraightCandid moment this week is my waterpark biggest NIGHTMARE LOL.
