Boob to Food - The Podcast

Are you done having kids? Or just needing a pause from the potential of another one right now? Not quite ready for the snip? Or uncertain if hormonal birth control is suitable? So many questions that shouldn't be answered by Google, so this week we bring in the expert, Lara Briden - also known as the period revolutionary - to answer all the questions on contraception.
Lara Briden is a naturopathic doctor and bestselling author of the books Period Repair Manual, Hormone Repair Manual, and Metabolism Repair for Women. She has more than 25 years’ experience in women’s health including PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and many other hormone- and period-related health problems.

In this podcast we discuss:

• When women start thinking about contraception after having a baby
• What are the clues that ovulation has occurred, and when might this happen
• The forms of contraception available to women - including the pill, mini pill, mirena, copper IUD as well as pros and cons of each
• The forms of contraception available to men, and why it is important that the male partner take on some of the responsibility
• Whether a vasectomy is a good option when you know you're done having kids, and a less permanent option on the horizon
• How long before trying to conceive a woman should stop hormonal birth control
• and so much more!
