This week, we return to the conversation around the long-term effects of hormonal birth control. In this episode, Yulia Glotzer, fellow CNS and owner of Vibrant People Nutrition, returns to the show to discuss hormonal birth control's impact on the gut and hormonal health. Jena and Yulia will talk about the importance of education in hormonal health, different birth control options and their effects, Yulia’s concept of a “hormonal symphony,” and how this metaphor explains the way hormones interact in the body, alternatives to birth control, and the multifaceted effects of herbal remedies. If you’re a clinician or practitioner treating patients with reproductive or hormonal concerns, or if you’re curious about this emerging conversation around the health implications of long-term birth control use, you’ll want to stay tuned.
