The Birth Control Pill and Fertility with Dr. Meghan MacKinnon ND
Today I’m going to be chatting with my friend and colleague Dr.Meghan MacKinnon - a Naturopathic Doctor who focuses on women’s health and hormones. We work together at the Women360Care obstetrics and gynecology practice in Aurora.
We are going to talk all things birth control in this episode. If you are on the pill, have recently come off the pill or if you have ever been on the pill at any time, you don’t want to miss this episode.
Today we will discuss:
How the pill actually works
Consequences of being on the pill
Ways to support your body while you’re on the pill
What to do when you want to come off the pill
And, of course, the discussion that always comes up on the podcast, around deeper cultural conditioning, gender dynamics and how that affects how women’s healthcare in our modern medical system.
