Lately, social media has been awash in misinformation around birth control. Bridget Todd joins us to delve into what is going on, why its working and how its harmful.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this eye-opening episode of The Health Revival Show, I welcome Dr. Halie Schoff to discuss the often-overlooked truths about birth control that many physicians neglect to mention. We delve into the complexities of hormonal health, the impact of birth control on gut function, and the importance of informed consent. Dr. Schoff shares her personal journey and expertise in holistic health, emphasizing the need for alternative approaches to managing symptoms like heavy periods and hormonal imbalances. We explore the effects of synthetic hormones on women's bodies and the significance of understanding one's cycle to empower health decisions. Tune in for insightful advice on navigating birth control options and enhancing overall well-being through informed choices.

In today’s episode of Stinchfield, we dig into the explosive wave of lawsuits piling up against Pfizer — this time, over its birth control shot Depo-Provera. Women across the country are coming forward claiming the drug has caused serious side effects, including the development of brain tumors, and that Pfizer hid critical data about those risks for years. We break down what’s inside the lawsuits, what Pfizer knew, and how this could become the next massive Big Pharma scandal. Plus, we expose the truth about statins — the so-called “miracle” cholesterol drugs that don’t actually deliver the results we’ve been promised. Millions of Americans are being over-prescribed statins that fail to prevent heart disease while bringing a long list of side effects. It’s another example of a medical system that puts profit over patients. And if you’re ready to take back control of your health, check out The Wellness Company at TWC.Health/Grant.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Lorenzo: Hi Dr. C — We spoke briefly during the September 11th IHP live Q&A about Uterine Fibroids. I've been digging into whether progesterone-only birth control pills contribute to fibroid growth, but the research is all over the place—some say yes, some no, and some say it depends on if the person is taking Progesterone & Estrogen BC, as well as other individual factors. I've linked a few studies below and would love if you could do a deep dive on this to help demystify the topic. I always appreciate your unbiased take and how much your work has helped me and my clients! Thanks! Research Links: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7762035/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37190026/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3184215/                                                                                                                         Angela: Hi Dr. Cabral. I was wondering if you can do a show or comment on vagus nerve stimulation and what your thoughts are on it. I am current using one called Vagustim. I heard of another person using it and helped them with gut health. I have a very stressful job and I am trying to calm myself at night. The stress most likely has caused slow motility leading to SIBO. I think you mentioned you were going to do a podcast on this topic. Thank you.                                                     Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I had a colonoscopy done recently. Everything was fine except that they found 1 innocuous polyp (now excised) and a dark colored colon. Due to the color, they asked me if I take stimulant laxatives, which I do not with regularity. Ive probably taken 2 bottles of Senna in my life, so I dont think that would be the cause. I rarely take stim. laxatives due to dependance risks. I do take mag07 every day, which is oxygenated mag oxide to help with bio-availability. I wanted to ask if you would know what else might cause this darkening? Are there any health issues that could be the cause? Im 40 and have been diagnosed with functional dyspepsia and mild gastritis from an endoscopy. Thanks           Jessica: Hi Dr. Cabral..I love my work as a hairstylist but I'm worried about my long-term exposure to chemicals. I don't want to give up my career but I also don't want to end up with chronic health issues from repeated exposure. What steps can I take on a regular basis to help reduce my risk and protect myself while continuing to work? Thank you so much!      Ryan: I  am a 48 year old man , used to be a high end athlete and still like to work out 3x a week so have muscle still but cannot lean out and have lots of fat too. I am 6'1 320 lbs but don't look overly fat. I am concerned for met healthy and organs with this heavy weight. I have Avery bad habit of waking up in middle of night and binge eating - thinking that's my problem but I am half asleep when I do it and have no control, how can I fix this ? Also if you have any healthy daily routines I would to hear them.

We're facing a fertility crisis that few people are truly talking about. Sperm counts have dropped by more than 50% in the last 50 years, infertility now affects 1 in 5 couples, and modern stress, toxins, and lifestyle shifts are making it harder than ever to conceive. But there is hope — and it starts with awareness. In this episode of HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Ronit Menashe, co-founder of WeNatal, to explore the future of fertility and what every couple needs to know before trying to conceive. Ronit opens up about her personal journey of loss, discovery, and purpose that led her to create a company reshaping how we think about preconception health — for both women and men. Together we dive into the often-overlooked role of male fertility, the concept of “Trimester Zero” (the 100 days before conception that set the stage for pregnancy health), and why lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, toxins, and diet play such a powerful role in outcomes. We also touch on sensitive but necessary conversations around miscarriage, hormone health, birth control, and the emotional toll of the fertility journey. This episode is equal parts science, story, and soul — a guide to reclaiming hope, preparing your body, and reframing fertility as an opportunity for empowerment rather than fear. Whether you're just beginning to think about starting a family, navigating infertility, or simply curious about the hidden links between environment, lifestyle, and reproductive health, this conversation will leave you with knowledge, tools, and inspiration to move forward with clarity.

If you've ever felt like you're riding a menstrual cycle roller coaster of cravings, exhaustion, and mood swings– this conversation is for you.  In this episode, I'm joined by leading researcher and women's hormone expert Dr. Sarah E. Hill to unpack what's really going on in your body—and your brain—during your cycle.  Dr. Hill breaks down how shifting levels of progesterone and estrogen in the second half of your cycle can impact everything from your sleep and appetite to your mood and libido.  We also talk about how this becomes even more complex—and important to understand—during perimenopause, when hormone patterns start to change unpredictably.  You'll learn why traditional health advice often fails women during this phase of life, and what to do instead to actually support your body.  It's time to rethink your period, reclaim your energy, and finally feel in sync with your hormones! Dr. Sarah Hill Dr. Sarah E. Hill is a researcher and professor at TCU, lead science advisor for 28, and the author of The Period Brain and This Is Your Brain on Birth Control. Sarah's work has resulted in more than 80 research publications, with features in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Scientific American, The Economist, and on shows like Good Morning and Today. Sarah is a well-known speaker, consultant, and media expert in women's health, hormones, and sexual psychology. IN THIS EPISODE Understanding our hormone changes over the course of a cycle  Why cycle symptoms can be different during perimenopause  How past trauma impacts PMS and your stress response  What's really happening with your hormone levels in your cycle Managing your stress response system to feel safe in your body  The negative impacts stress has on your reproductive system The critical connection between your brain and sex hormones  About Dr. Sarah Hill's newest Book: The Period Brain  QUOTES “The week– or for some women, it's even the full two weeks– of the luteal phase can be a really challenging time emotionally as their body is struggling to keep up with those wild swings and hormones. But then also as you go into perimenopause, you're going through a period of intense hormonal change, and unlike what goes on across a regular cycle, it's unpredictable.” “Women are twice as likely as men to have mental health-related illnesses. They're more than twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with anxiety. They're more likely to experience burnout in the workplace. I mean, the list goes on, and it's because there's way too much that's expected of us. And one thing that women don't recognize about it is that in addition to this being bad for things like cardiovascular health… it can also prevent you from even producing sex hormones.” “A big part of The Period Brain is first, just really giving women a roadmap to the second half of their cycle, since it's not something that's really talked about.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Preorder the Perimenopause Revolution and get your VIP ticket to the Perimenopause Solution event http://hayh.site/pr_bl_ap-snyder_a_opt Use code ENERGIZED and get 10% off on your first Troscriptions order http://troscriptions.com/ENERGIZED Order Dr. Sarah Hill's Book: The Period Brain Dr. Sarah Hill's Website Dr. Hill's Instagram Dr. Hill's Facebook RELATED EPISODES  686: Your Second Puberty Explained: What's Really Happening to Your Body in Perimenopause  #648: This Changes Everything: The Perimenopause Revolution Every Woman Needs Now #622: How to Feel Prepared for the Massive Hormone Shifts in Midlife with Dr. Taz Bhatia #510: Need to Calm The Estrogen Drama Causing Period Problems?

⚠️ WARNING: This episode will challenge everything you think you know about health. “Obesity kills more people worldwide every year than car crashes, terrorism, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and malnutrition combined.” In this eye-opening episode of Start Today, I bring you Dr. Saman Soleymani—a no-BS physician and entrepreneur running over a dozen practices—who exposes how Big Pharma and Big Food profit from disease while ignoring the #1 factor that could save your life: nutrition. From the obesity epidemic to GLP-1 drugs, testosterone, antidepressants, and birth control, Dr. Soleymani rips the lid off the lies that are killing people every single day. We uncover why waist size is the ultimate death predictor, how visceral fat destroys men's hormones, why SSRIs don't cure depression, the promising science of psilocybin, and the dangerous side effects of hormonal birth control that no one talks about. No fluff. No sugarcoating. Just the truth you need if you want to take back control of your body, your health, and your future.

When it comes to women controlling their own economic destinies, perhaps nothing has had a more profound impact than the contraceptive pill. But the US may be on the cusp of change. Earlier this year, the Trump administration froze some federal funding for subsidised access to contraceptive services and more changes are on the horizon. That has made understanding the economic impact of contraception all the more pressing.

⚠️ WARNING: This episode will challenge everything you think you know about health. “Obesity kills more people worldwide every year than car crashes, terrorism, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and malnutrition combined.” In this eye-opening episode of Start Today, I bring you Dr. Saman Soleymani—a no-BS physician and entrepreneur running over a dozen practices—who exposes how Big Pharma and Big Food profit from disease while ignoring the #1 factor that could save your life: nutrition. From the obesity epidemic to GLP-1 drugs, testosterone, antidepressants, and birth control, Dr. Soleymani rips the lid off the lies that are killing people every single day. We uncover why waist size is the ultimate death predictor, how visceral fat destroys men's hormones, why SSRIs don't cure depression, the promising science of psilocybin, and the dangerous side effects of hormonal birth control that no one talks about. No fluff. No sugarcoating. Just the truth you need if you want to take back control of your body, your health, and your future.

We're talking how to advocate for yourself at the doctor's office, what tests truly matter, and why your mood, gut, and hormones are all connected (plus, why that matters for YOU).You'll walk away knowing exactly how to take control instead of feeling lost, with new confidence in understanding your body and relief that you are on the right path to heal.

In this groundbreaking episode of hol+, Dr. Taz MD sits down with award-winning researcher and author Dr. Sarah Hill (This Is Your Brain on Birth Control) to reveal the shocking, little-known science of how hormonal contraception shapes not just your reproductive system, but your entire mind and body.From altered stress responses to shifts in attraction, depression risk in teens, and the controversial “bikini science” problem in medical research, Dr. Hill pulls back the curtain on decades of overlooked studies that every woman and parent should know about. She shares her own journey from evolutionary psychologist to outspoken women's health advocate, explaining why synthetic progestins are not the same as progesterone, how birth control affects your immune system, and why teenagers may be especially vulnerable to its mental health effects.If you're a woman in your teens, 20s, 30s, or 40s—or a parent guiding your daughter—this episode could change the way you think about hormone health, fertility, and your body's natural rhythms.Dr. Hill and Dr. Taz discuss:How birth control changes the brain's structure and functionThe difference between progesterone and synthetic progestins (and why it matters)Why “bikini science” has failed women in medical researchThe surprising link between birth control and partner attractionThe immune system's hidden connection to hormonal cyclingTeen mental health risks: depression, anxiety, and brain developmentSafer contraceptive choices and how to support your body if you use the pillHow nutrition and micronized progesterone might help offset side effectsThis conversation is more than just information — it's a wake-up call for how we study, prescribe, and support women's health.Topics Covered:Hormonal birth control's impact on the brainSynthetic hormones vs. bioidentical hormonesPartner choice and relationship satisfaction researchAutoimmunity and immune system differences in womenMental health risks for adolescent usersNon-hormonal birth control optionsNutritional and hormonal support strategiesConnect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.About Dr. Sarah E.

Today, I am thrilled to be joined by Dr. Sarah Hill, an award-winning researcher, professor, and leading voice in the field of women's hormones and brain health. She wrote This Is Your Brain on Birth Control and has also authored The Period Brain, which is due to be released this fall. In our conversation, Dr. Hill dispels the myths surrounding bioidentical hormones and shares her view on how women are not biologically disordered, but just ignored by science. We dive into research on how oral contraceptives affect the brain and how the pill creates a dysregulated stress response, particularly in women with histories of adverse childhood experiences. We also explore progesterone through the lens of an evolutionary biologist and neuro-endocrinologist, highlighting its role in supporting GABAergic tone, the key differences between synthetic progestins and natural progesterone, and research on PMS and PMDD, including practical ways to manage those issues. This helpful discussion with Dr. Sarah Hill is a must-listen for women at every stage of life. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why has science ignored women? How oral contraceptives affect the way women perceive the world How early-life trauma impacts the ability to manage stress in adulthood Often-overlooked benefits of progesterone The different ways estrogen and progesterone impact women's ability to build muscle mass from resistance training The positive effects of the GABAergic system in the brain The problem with combined hormone therapy How progesterone gets ignored and villainized, even though it can help women experience better lives How the protective and anti-inflammatory properties of progesterone support brain health and enhance neuroplasticity What the research suggests for women experiencing severe PMS or PMDD Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Dr. Sarah Hill On her website Instagram Pre-order a copy of Dr. Hill's new book, The Period Brain: The New Science of Why We PMS and How to Fix It, which will be on sale at the end of September. 

Historically, medical research has done a disservice to women. In fact, for many years, scientists only studied men, assuming that all effects would generalize to women. But we now know that’s not true. In today’s show, we’re talking about how we can improve the state of science on women's health, and how that begins with having a fuller understanding of the hormone shifts that occur during the menstrual cycle and how they affect women’s brains and bodies. I am joined once again by Dr. Sarah Hill, the author of This is Your Brain on Birth Control. She has spent most of her 20+ year career studying women, relationships, and health. Her latest book is titled The Period Brain: The New Science of Why We PMS and How To Fix It. Some of the specific topics we explore include: What’s the problem with one-size-fits-all medical advice? How does the concept of PMS pathologize natural things that happen to women's bodies? What’s the problem with using the male body as the “standard” in scientific research? What’s wrong with the way scientists typically treat the menstrual cycle in studies of women? How can we do research that actually serves women?

The ancient world recorded many means of contraception, some of them reasonable, and some of them bizarre. Many records only say that prostitutes do this well, and do not give the means at all. Records start to get better in the 19th century, but access was limited depending on what part of the world you lived in. In the early 20th century, many activists campaigned for better alternatives and information, but at mid-century the available methods still weren't good enough for Margaret Sanger.

It is well-known that PMS symptoms can deeply affect how women are feeling, including their mood, pain, and energy levels. But why exactly does this happen? Today, we’re going to dive into the science of sex hormones and the menstrual cycle, including how hormone levels affect women’s sexual motivation and tips for navigating sex at different phases of the cycle. I am joined by Dr. Sarah Hill, the author of This is Your Brain on Birth Control. She has spent most of her 20+ year career studying women, relationships, and health. Her latest book is titled The Period Brain: The New Science of Why We PMS and How To Fix It. Some of the specific topics we explore include: What’s the deal with PMS? Why did women evolve to feel like crap for half of the menstrual cycle? How do the rise and fall of different hormones during the cycle affect women’s brains? Progesterone is a hormone that’s supposed to make us feel good. So why doesn’t it have that effect during the second half of the menstrual cycle? How do estrogen and progesterone affect sexual motivation and desire? You can check our Sarah’s website to learn more about her work. Got a sex question?

This Coach Confessional takes some unexpected twists and turns! Amanda sits down with Haven Hennessey, FASTer Way's Senior Director of Programming, for a conversation that starts with celebrating some incredible new additions to our trainer team... and somehow ends up in parasite territory (yes, really). You'll hear about: The amazing trainers joining FASTer Way and how we keep raising the bar on programming Haven's journey through 21 years of marriage, raising 3 kids, and her eye-opening experience coming off birth control at 40 Real talk about staying healthy on vacation — and actually coming home feeling better than when you left Amanda's unexpected detox experience that has her questioning everything AND sleeping through the night (gross, but game-changing) Why those middle-of-the-night wake-ups, stubborn belly weight, foggy thinking, and feeling exhausted despite being constantly wired might not just be "normal aging" If you're tired of being told your symptoms are just part of getting older, Amanda and Haven are living proof that asking the right questions can change everything. When you start digging deeper instead of accepting "that's just how it is," that's when the real breakthroughs happen. These ladies are proof that there's so much more to the story.

In this interview, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, menopause educator, and published menopause researcher and co-founder of WeAreMorphus.com, discusses how hormonal birth control can mask where you are in the menopausal transition, what labs help, and how to talk to your doctor about safer options. Elizabeth Katzman specializes in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition for women in perimenopause and menopause. She'll help you connect the dots if you've taken the pill in the past or are on the pill now. Topic Covered: What the pill does (synthetic estrogen + progestin), why the “period” on it is a withdrawal bleed, and how it can hide your true perimenopause status.Why progestins can raise anxiety/depression risk, and how bioidentical progesterone supports sleep, mood, bones, and thyroid.Thyroid connection: How the pill can deplete nutrients and interfere with T4→T3 conversion, and raise hypothyroid risk when midlife thyroid issues already spike.Leaky gut, depleted lacto/bifido, and why protecting your mucosal lining matters for autoimmune risk.Testing that helps (and when): Why FSH/E2/Progesterone timing matters off the pill, plus affordable bloodwork that gives clues even when hormones fluctuate.How to think about nutrient repletion (methylated B's, magnesium, zinc, selenium) and why an IUD or mini-pill (progestin-only) isn't automatically a better choice.Topical/oral/vaginal progesterone options, DHEA and pregnenolone basics, and why “fit + formulation + timing” often matter more than the dose.Red meat, ferritin, and genetics: Why iron can climb post-menopause, when to watch ferritin, and how genetics (MTHFR, APOE) affect it.When your long-time GYN isn't the right HRT partner, and how to add a practitioner who actually understands midlife hormones.Links From The Show:Perimenopause, Menopause & Pelvic Health SurveyDNA CompanyWhy You Should Test Your Iron Levels in Menopause with Dr. Christy SuttonDr. Thomas Perls on Longevity Tips from Studying CentenariansUnderstanding Bio-Send us a text ✅ Fill out our surveys: https://bit.ly/4jcVuLh
