What you'll learn
- How Jenny became so passionate about hormone health and her experience when she herself came off hormone birth control.
- The 3 things you should do to prep your body before breaking up with birth control yourself. They include:1. Making sure you’re eating enough to support your hormone health,2. The importance of balancing your blood sugars and Jenny’s three legged stool analogy &3. Replenishing minerals that are stripped when we’re on synthetic hormones.
- What is the ideal lead time that you should start prepping your body to come off birth control?
- Is there anything that high performing women (mothers and entrepreneurs) can do to support their bodies more so we don’t burn out - or would the advice be the same as women breaking up with birth control?
Oh friends, you’re in for a treat today! I’ve been so excited to share this episode with you because I think it’s the conversation we all need to have - whether we are currently on birth control (I’ve been on it for over 20 years which is wild!) or whether you just want to honour your body and balance your hormone health for the myriad of reasons you should! Let’s dive in and welcome Jenny to the podcast…
