FFP 376 | Birth Control Pills From Your Doctor's Perspective | Summer Replay Series | Dr. Miranda Naylor

Why do doctor's prescribe the birth control for (literally) every menstrual cycle complaint? Find out in today's episode of the 2021 summer replay series!

Dr. Naylor is a board-certified family physician, focused on preventive medicine and nutrition. As an osteopathic physician, she treats patients with a whole-person approach and has training in treating the body with hands-on techniques, called osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM). She became especially interested in fertility during the end of her residency training when she herself stopped hormonal contraception in an effort to get pregnant and didn't get a period. Almost 2 years later, she continues her journey to naturally regain a healthy menstrual cycle and reflects on how western medicine addresses (or doesn't address) this common issue.
