Description: Welcome to Episode 5 of Season 6 of The PCOS Revolution Podcast: What Every Woman Must Know About The Pill With Dr. Jolene Brighten Birth control can be very helpful but is often misunderstand and over-prescribed for PCOS.  On top of that, many women with PCOS don’t have a full understanding of birth control, side effects and all that goes along with it. In this episode, we shed light on birth control and the impact it can have on your body.  This week on PCOS Revolution Podcast, I am having a conversation with Dr. Jolene Brighten.

She is recognizes as a leading expert in post birth control syndrome and the long term side effects associated with hormonal contraceptives. Dr. Jolene Brighten is a speaker, women’s health advocate, author and medical advisor. In this episode, Dr. Brighten and I talk about her book and what inspired her book, birth control and the purposes for using it and tips for those on birth control experiencing symptoms. We dive into the difference between symptom management and root cause work, how birth control can impact mood and how to become educated and remove the fear many women have around birth control.   READ the entire transcript here: Episode Spotlights: What inspired Dr. Brighten to write her book (0:58) There’s so much we don’t know about birth control (8:09) Understanding symptom management vs root cause work (13:00) What post birth control syndrome is (15:37) Tips for those on birth control experiencing symptoms (23:03) Fertility concerns after birth control (27:22) Birth control as symptom management (28:26) Impact on moods (35:56) Access to birth control and having all the information (43:55) Fear of birth control & removing the fear (46:48) Resources Mentioned In This Episode: Learn more about Dr. Jolene at drbrighten.com Read Dr. Jolene’s book Beyond The Pill Grab a free guide for foods to optimize hormonal health at drbrighten.com Help Us Spread The Word!
