Ep. 39 - How Women Can Reclaim Control of Their Reproductive Health

Sophia Jasmine joins us this week to share her personal health story on how she got off multiple prescriptions, including topical steroids and birth control, and switched to more holistic healing and reproductive health methods. Many people across the U.S. have been kept in the dark about the long-term effects of some western medicine. And specifically, women have been misled about what their birth control options are. With the help of modern technology, there have been many new emerging non-hormonal birth control options that are highly effective, including Natural Cycles, which is even FDA approved. Yet, many women across the country are unaware that these options exist. Why aren't doctors and healthcare providers informing them of this option? Why aren't schools including this information in their sex education programs? Why are we not empowering women to retake control of their bodies? Sophia provides thoughtful insight into answering these questions with her educational background in human development and family studies.
