I recently quit my hormonal birth control after taking it for nearly a DECADE of my life, first prescribed birth control pills at 15 alongside Actuate and encouraged to stay on it throughout my teenage and young adult years.

My entire mindset changed when I read "This Is Your Brain On Birth Control" by Dr. Sarah Hill, reinforcing hormones are not something that happens to you, but your hormones are you. I quit without a second thought, and have never been happier. My anxiety and depression were gone instantaneously, I had more energy, I discovered some crazy things about my dating relationships, and more.

Since then, I've joined the chorus sounding the alarm about hormonal birth control, and have been totally blown away by how many young women my age share the same concerns and experiences based in total misinformation about how hormonal birth control impacts our lives.

Today I am joined by the incredible Dr. Heather Gessling to unpack the underlying reasons hormonal birth control has become so heavily prescribed - and you may be SHOCKED what she has to say re: seed oils, our diet, and Big Pharma...

Join Isabel Brown on the stream today to unpack it all!
