Listen to the full episode here: https://karenmartel.com/the-scary-truth-about-the-long-term-side-effects-of-birth-control/

The first birth control pill was approved in 1960 and it has provided nearly 60 years of reproductive freedom for tens of millions of women.

Although birth control pills may be referred to as hormonal contraception, in reality, there are not any natural hormones found in birth control pills. Birth control "hormones" are not hormones.

Instead, they are endocrine system disrupters. These chemicals can cause long term side effects that doctors rarely, if ever, warn us about. These pills are frequently used as a quick fix for perimenopausal symptoms, despite safer and more effective options like bioidentical hormones being available.

In this episode find out the scary truth about the long term side effects of the continuous use of birth control medication.
