SUBSCRIBE for weekly episodes + more: https://bit.ly/3CvQCwM

This week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, I’m joined by the one and only Danielle Kepics, who you might remember from our hair loss episode not long ago. Danielle is a certified fertility educator, functional medicine practitioner, former mental health therapist, and all-around powerhouse in women's health.

In this juicy and eye-opening conversation, we’re talking all about hormonal birth control and the things most women are never told. Danielle shares her own story of being put on the pill before she was even sexually active, how it impacted her mood and health for years, and the lightbulb moment that changed everything. If you’ve ever wondered how the pill affects your body beyond preventing pregnancy, this one is for you. Danielle brings the fire and the fun while dropping truth bombs that every woman needs to hear. You are going to love this one.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
What your period is really telling you about your health
Why the pill does not regulate hormones or give you a real cycle
How birth control impacts mood, anxiety, and nutrient levels
The connection between IUDs, the vagus nerve, and mental health
Why some women feel completely different (or even pick different partners) after stopping the pill
What you can do to support your body when coming off hormonal birth control
