Today Tahnee chats with Dr. Jolene Brighten, who is the author of Beyond the Pill. As the name suggests, this book explores the effects of the Pill and how to transition healthily off it. Coming off the Pill can often lead to a whole host of symptoms, but these symptoms can be seen as opportunities for greater health. The ladies share their experiences as new mum's and the challenges that must be navigated. So often, women can lose trust in their body and ability to heal and part of this can be associated with how often women's needs are dismissed in the general practitioner forum. Informed consent around the Pill is required and often missing in the Western setting. The ladies remind us that our bodies never betray us, they want us to thrive!   The ladies discuss: Postpartum challenges How magnesium is a godsend for cramps A Pill bleed is not a true cycle, it is simply a withdrawal bleed from the medication The natural approach will always take time, so be patient During third trimester, the female brain shrinks! To allow for hyper focus on the newborn. Baby brain is real!! Liquorice is very beneficial for new mums and PCOS sufferers, it's anti-inflammatory, supports cortisol and helps manage androgens The ins and outs of PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) Using the Pill increases your chances of several health issues (cardiovascular disease, clots, diabetes) The key to balanced hormones are a supported liver and gut system Regardless of your want to have a baby or not, during the reproductive years, being fertile is integral to overall health  DIM and broccoli sprouts are a girls best friend when dealing wth estrogen issues Ever feel dizzy upon standing up?

I'm absolutely honoured today to bring to you the leading expert in a major (but often ignored) women's health issue to the podcast. Dr. Jolene Brightenis a Functional Medicine Naturopathic Medical Doctor and the founder of Rubus Health, a women’s medicine clinic that specializes in women’s hormones. She is recognized as a leading expert in Post-Birth Control Syndrome and the long-term side effects associated with hormonal contraceptives.

She is a speaker, women’s health advocate and a medical advisor for one of the first data-driven apps to offer women personalized birth control recommendations. Dr. Brighten is the person I turned to when I was struggling with regaining my period after 11 years on birth control pills, and ever since I've recommended her incredible work to everyone I know.  She is the most passionate person on this topic that you can imagine, and this is the kind of episode that is an absolute must listen.   In fact, be prepared to take notes and listen at least twice. We talk about: What is Post-Birth Control Syndrome What PCOS is and what it means for your body Why your doctor may be ignoring your symptoms and what you can do to care for your own health. The MANY ways the Pill can affect your body and how the symptoms may present (this is going to surprise you) What kinds of testing to ask your doctor to order for you The effects of the Pill on your fertility (this is a big question that needs to be addressed) How to heal your body when coming off of birth control pills Three of the biggest takeaways I want you to get out of this episode: We need to respect the individual approach. Women’s health is very complicated. Medicine is intertwined, not separate. I cannot WAIT to get my hands on a copy of Dr. Brighten's new book Beyond the Pill, and highly recommend you grab a copy for yourself, and pick up some extras for your girlfriends while you're at it!  It's available next week on January 29th, and you can pre-order your copy now.   FIND DR.

In case you haven't noticed, this show has had EXCLUSIVELY female guests for the 8 months of its existence, but this week, we are taking girl talk to another level because we are talking ALL things hormonal health, periods, and birth control. Think of this episode as a super empowering, mind-blowing upgrade in place of what high school health class SHOULD have taught you. I sat down with the incredible, Dr. Jolene Brighten, who is a Functional Medicine Naturopathic Medical Doctor and the founder of Rubus Health, a women's medicine clinic that specializes in women's hormones. She is recognized as a leading expert in Post-Birth Control Syndrome and the long-term side effects associated with hormonal contraceptives. Dr. Brighten is the best selling author, speaker and regular contributor to several online publications and health apps.   I'm SO grateful for the work Dr. Brighten is doing in women's health and she has SO much knowledge to share in this episode. We talked all about: - Women's experience with traditional, western medicine - How we can feel more empowered and in control of our health - The basics of the menstrual cycle and why it's NOT that complicated - The nitty gritty of hormonal birth control and the need-to-knows for before, during, and after using hormonal contraceptives.   If you're a woman… you NEED to know this stuff, and I'm so happy that you're here. If you're not a woman, then this episode will give you a whole new respect for the female body… so buckle up (:

Tell us your story in the comments on the episode page!   Quotes: “Only a woman living in her body knows what’s normal and not normal for her.” 08:10 “It’s not that your body is betraying or revolting against you. Your body has been trying to communicate that something is not right for a while now, and it’s essentially had duct tape over its mouth, and when you stopped the pill, you took that duct tape off” 17:28 “If you don’t know what your purpose is or you feel like you’re not living in it, re-examine your health. It’s Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. If your physical body isn’t being cared for and provided for, it’s so much harder to show up in this world and do the work you need to do” 30:32   Resources Mentioned: Dr. Jolene Brighten’s Website Her free gift for us: Quick Start Detox Guide to help balance hormones Follow Dr. Brighten on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | LinkedIn   Check out the full show notes page Keep up with everything Dr. Mariza Follow Dr. Mariza on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube   Please review us on iTunes.  And, if you haven’t already, SUBSCRIBE!
