[The Lodown] Your Guide to Coming Off Birth Control: What to Expect & How to Support Your Hormones

Thinking about coming off hormonal birth control—or already have and your body feels totally out of balance?

In this episode, we break down what really happens to your hormones on birth control, what to expect when you stop, and how to support your body through the transition. Whether you’ve been on the pill, IUD, or another hormonal method, this guide will help you prepare for a smoother experience physically and emotionally.

You’ll learn how birth control impacts everything from your androgens to your gut lining, liver detox, and nutrient status—and what to do about it. We also cover how to recognize and address Post-Birth Control Syndrome, when to start support, and how to confidently begin tracking your natural cycle again.

A few things we chat about in this episode 👇👇👇

  • What hormonal birth control actually does to your natural hormone rhythms

  • How birth control influences androgens, testosterone, and DHT

  • The gut + liver connection: why birth control affects digestion, detox, and estrogen clearance

  • What is Post-Birth Control Syndrome
