In today’s episode, Dr. Hill and I discuss the topic of birth control and its effects on women's health. Dr. Hill shares how hormonal birth control can impact mental health, including an increased risk of depression and anxiety. The synthetic hormones in birth control pills can affect neurotransmitters in the brain, leading to mood changes and emotional fluctuations. Contrary to popular belief, Dr. Hill shares how the impact of birth control on weight gain is not a simple yes or no answer. Research shows that the effects of birth control on weight can vary depending on factors like starting weight and individual metabolism. Additionally, the pill can also affect the physicality of oneself due to the absence of the natural rise in estrogen.
