What do post-pill acne, hair loss, and weight gain all have in common? They can all be the result of a temporary surge in androgens when trying to come off certain types of hormonal birth control.
In this episode, Lara discusses post-pill androgen symptoms including:
- why pills like Yasmin are the hardest to come off
- how androgens can cause weight gain, and
- natural treatments such as zinc, berberine, and cyclic progesterone therapy.
