0:00.0	On today's episode of the Real Foodology podcast. Now we know how harmful birth control is,
0:05.8	but it's frustrating that women are told that this is safe. Side effects are very rare.
0:11.7	Ladies, the side effects are not rare. This is not a safe device. You do not want this inside your
0:16.5	uterus. Hey, everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology podcast. I am your
0:23.0	host, Courtney Swan, and thank you so much for being here today. So today's episode is pretty
0:27.3	personal to me, but I'm thinking and hoping that this will be pretty resonant to a lot of women
0:33.1	listening. If you have been following me for a while on Instagram or if you've dug back far enough
0:38.3	on my highlights on my Instagram, you know that I dealt with copper toxicity from the Paragard
0:43.7	or the copper IUD. This happened to me, God, it was like three or four years ago now. I don't
0:49.2	remember the exact time frame. I got a copper IUD because I was told that it is non-hormonal, which it technically is,

1:07.4	thinking, oh my God, this is amazing. There's no side effects. This is the solution
1:11.6	that I've been waiting for. Well, I ended up getting it taken out two months in because I had
1:16.1	the most insane side effects. It was terrible. And I felt like this was really not marketed with
1:24.4	these kind of side effects. I had to dig really hard. I also was very lucky that I was
1:28.3	working with a functional medicine doctor who was able to flag it and see what was really happening.
1:33.6	But had I not had that insight or I didn't go digging at all, I would have never connected
1:38.8	these symptoms to the paragard. And what I found while I was digging was a lot of women have experienced this as well.
1:47.5	And I think that a lot of women are probably experiencing this without even having made the
1:52.4	connection to their paraguards.
1:53.8	So my hope with this episode is that if there are women out there that are struggling with
