In this powerful episode, Josie Thorne shares her deeply personal journey with hormonal birth control, revealing the profound impact it had on her mental health, including struggles with anxiety, depression, and mania over a span of seven years. Josie recounts the alarming culmination of her experience, marked by the surgical removal of a 5x5cm cyst from her ovary, a direct consequence of prolonged pill use.

Josie explores the physical side effects, such as weight gain and decreased libido, alongside mental and emotional repercussions, including mood swings and depression. She also highlights the spiritual disconnection that can occur, as these contraceptives often sever women from their natural cycles and inherent feminine power. Josie passionately discusses how hormonal birth control can disrupt the body's natural hormonal balance, leading to a loss of intuition and self-awareness, and offers insights into reclaiming one's health and power.

Through her story, Josie aims to shed light on the often-overlooked dangers of hormonal birth control, advocating for greater awareness and empowerment for women to reclaim their health and innate wisdom. This episode is a must-listen for women seeking to understand the broader consequences of hormonal contraception on their overall well-being.

Studies indicate that hormonal contraceptives, such as the birth control pill, can significantly impact pheromone-driven attraction and partner choice.

1. Altered Attraction: Research has shown that women on the pill may experience shifts in their attraction preferences. Typically, women are subconsciously attracted to men with different immune system genes (MHC genes), which promotes genetic diversity and healthier offspring. However, the pill can disrupt this mechanism, leading women to prefer men with similar genetic profiles, potentially reducing genetic diversity​ (Psychology Today)​​ (West End Therapy)​.
2. Impact on Mutual Attraction: Pheromones play a crucial role in mutual attraction. Studies suggest that hormonal contraceptives can suppress the natural pheromone signals that influence attraction. This can lead to changes in how attractive a woman finds her partner and vice versa. For example, men may find women on the pill less attractive compared to those not using hormonal contraceptives​ (Dr. Jolene Brighten)​​ (West End Therapy)​.
3. Sexual Desire and Satisfaction: Hormonal contraceptives can affect sexual desire and satisfaction. They may reduce a woman's libido by altering hormonal levels and suppressing ovulation-related peaks in sexual desire. This ca
