43. The impact of birth control on your body and what you can do about it with Dr. Stephen Cabral

The effects of birth control on the female body is something that any woman who has taken them are very well aware of... But it isn't something often talked about enough - especially the long term impact and what you can do to support your body after coming off (or whilst still taking BC).

These are the important topics that I was eager to discuss with my own personal *virtual* mentor, someone I have learned a great deal from, Dr. Stephen Cabral.

Dr. Stephen Cabral is a Board Certified Doctor of Naturopathy and founder of the Cabral Wellness Institute. Dr. Cabral uses ancient wisdom paired with Functional Medicine practices to support overall wellbeing. His mission is to help people understand that you can and will get well again!

This episode is really special to me as I personally have looked up to Dr. Cabral's work for many years and learned from him personally when I completed my Integrative Health Practitioner coaching - coming full circle now by having him on the pod!

IN THIS CONVERSATION WE DISCUSS:

+ Dr. Cabral's story of how at 17 he was diagnosed with a life-altering illness and given no hope for recovery (and how he overcame that)

+ What the birth control pill actually does to the female body - from impacts on mental wellbeing, guy health, mineral and vitamin deficiencies and so much more

+ Practical tips, tools and resources to support you in your healing journey, no matter what stage you are at

As always, take what resonates with you and leave what doesn't.
