Summary

Following the advice of parents, counselors, and health care providers, millions of women take hormonal birth control starting in their teenager years to avoid unwanted pregnancies, regulate their periods, or to control acne.

But what if you gain weight, lose your libido, and get depressed? What then?

The FDA warns that hormonal birth control could increase the risk of cancer and heart disease too (among other things), but this "fine print" is rarely discussed but potentially life changing. So what do you do?

On this week's Yoga Talk Show, we'll explore good old fashioned cycle charting—but with a modern twist. Grab your cell phone and a cheap thermometer, and you can now gain very accurate insight into your menstrual cycles in about five minutes per day.

------------

Listen & Learn:

How Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) can be just as effective as any other form of birth control
How to get started with a basel therometer, a phone, and 5 minutes a day
Why even many IUDs now are still using hormones
The risk vs. reward of messing with your body's hormones
