I started hormonal birth control around 15 years old, and used it until I got pregnant for the first time. I haven’t gone back since, and honestly, the biggest adjustment has been excruciating, sometimes debilitating cramps during my period. If you’re not on hormonal birth control and suffer from strong cramps, this episode is for you! In it, I talk about:
- Why your period is different without hormonal birth control
- How your diet can play a role in period cramps
- Stretches you can do before or during cramps
- The benefits of taking a relaxing soak
- How shaking your body can reset your nervous system
