What You Need to Know About The Contraceptive Pill with Joanna Macmeikan

What You Need to Know About The Contraceptive Pill with Joanna Macmeikan

Author: freyagraf October 24, 2022 Duration: 1:33:40

This week in The Labia Lounge Joanna Macmeikan returns for a second eppy with me, this time to talk about the scary reality of what the Pill can do to you!

 

As we mention in the episode, this is not aimed at shaming or judging anyone who takes the Pill, rather it's meant as an educational resource to provide important info about it so that you can make an informed choice about whether to go on it or put your teenagers on it.

 

We cover things like how the Pill actually works in your body, how it effects your brain, endocrine system, fertility, and health overall, the Pill as an anti-feminist tool, the risks and side effects that nobody is telling you about, how to go about coming off the Pill safely and restoring balance in your body, and some alternative contraception methods we recommend trying that don't involve messing with your hormones.

 

It's a controversial one but a juicy one, with loads of facts and stats to that will fascinate and surprise you! I highly encourage you to give it a listen and spread the good word so that nobody in your world takes this medication without knowing exactly what they're signing their body up for.

 

Plus you can expect all the usual antics and hilarious, vulnerable n' relatable personal stories and signature segments that you've come to know and love here in The Labia Lounge!

 

The books we mentioned in this episode were The Period Repair Manual by Dr Lara Briden, The Fifth Vital Sign by Lisa Hendrickson Jack, and How The Pill Changes Everything - Your Brain on Birth Control by Dr Sarah Hill.
