Many women start the new year with health goals. These usually include gym memberships and nutrition plans, which is great. However, diet and exercise are not the only things that women should be concerned about when it comes to their health.
When it comes to birth control, most women are unaware of the harm they are doing to their bodies.
At the beginning of this year, allie beth stuckey invited health coach Emily Detrick to “Relatable” to discuss many issues related to women's health, including the long list of risks associated with all forms of birth control.
“None of them are good,” Detrick says of birth control. “I don't think any woman should need to use contraception for any reason.”
Even women whose doctors prescribe birth control pills to “regulate their periods” are taking unnecessary drugs, Detrick said.
“We don't regulate anything” because “contraceptives don't give you periods,” she says. “It's not a real period. It's withdrawal bleeding from taking fake hormones, fake progesterone and fake estrogen.”
She explains that most contraceptives work by putting your body into a “postmenopausal state,” or a state similar to being “pregnant,” meaning you're “not ovulating.”
As for non-hormonal copper IUDs, Detrick said they are also unsafe because “copper toxicity is a big issue,” and the devices “inflame the uterus” where they're inserted, “so you don't get the egg every time.” There is a possibility of fertilization.” “moon,” but “does not implant” due to inflammation.
Furthermore, the inflammation is not always localized. For many women, copper IUDs can make periods very painful and heavy.
In addition to potential toxicity and inflammation, Aly points out that this form of contraception is a “moral and ethical issue for those of us who believe that life begins at conception.”
When it comes to contraceptive pills, Detrick says the fact that women “can only get pregnant for six days of each cycle” but still have to take them every day is concerning.
“Why do we use birth control every day to prevent something from happening for at most six days?” She says most women do not understand how their fertility works. I asked, noting that it wasn't.
Many women don't think about anything [the risks of birth control] Just when you were thinking, “I want to get pregnant,” you suddenly find yourself facing the problem of infertility, which has been rapidly increasing in recent years.
In addition to the devastating relationship between birth control and infertility, vast numbers of women who take birth control also experience abnormal levels of psychological problems such as depression and anxiety.
“Teen females are 70 percent more likely to be prescribed antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications,” Detrick says, adding that this is her personal experience.
You feel like you're “a prisoner in your own body,” she recalls.
But perhaps the most concerning potential side effect of birth control is that it can increase the likelihood of bisexuality.
Detrick says this idea is more than just speculation. In fact, there is “data” and “study” to suggest that hormonal birth control affects attractiveness.
In one of these studies, women on birth control were shown an AI image of a typical man, and then an image of the same man with slightly more feminized features.
“Women on birth control chose men with more feminine characteristics,” says Detrick.
In another study, a “sweat T-shirt test” was developed. In this test, a man trains in a T-shirt and then puts the sweaty shirt in his bag. Women, both contraceptive and non-contraceptive, are then asked to smell these men's shirts. This means that they are essentially smelling pheromones.
“Women who used contraception selected men who were genetically similar to them,” Detrick said, adding that the most “viable, resilient offspring” were “the ones most likely to be He explains that he needs “someone with distant DNA.”
Detrick has also worked with clients who “ended their engagements” after stopping birth control and realizing they were no longer attracted to their partners.
