Ep. 73: How hormonal birth control affects the gut

Ever wonder how hormonal birth control impacts your gut health, liver health, and overall function? HBC is giving you low levels of synthetic hormones all month long, and that can burden your liver and potentially change your gut microbiome. It can also deplete very important vitamins and minerals in the body. And while you can't stop this from happening entirely while you are still on it, you can support the body as best as you can. And post HBC support is crucial. In this episode, I'm talking about how to support your body while on HBC, restoring minerals post HBC, and also how to support your liver detox for optimal health. ---------------------------------------------------------- Find me on IG: jfaye_rd Work with me!
