Hormonal birth control and weight gain

In today’s episode, we revisit an important conversation that resonates with many listeners: the connection between hormonal birth control and weight gain.


Join Clare, the host of PCOS Explained, as she dives deep into the nuances of hormonal contraceptives. We’ll explore the historical context of these concerns and break down the various types of contraceptives— from combined pills and progestin-only options to implants and IUDs.


Through a careful examination of current studies, Clare analyses the potential weight changes associated with different contraceptive methods. Clare will discuss how these options can not only regulate menstrual cycles but also influence factors such as ovulation, androgen levels, cortisol, and insulin resistance.


Our goal with this episode is to empower you with knowledge and insights, encouraging you to reflect on your own experiences and make informed choices about your health.
