Dr. Brighten shares her own personal journey with birth control pill and how she got her period back. We dive into all things post-birth control and how it impacts you both mentally and physically. Dr. Brighten also shares her perceptive on nutrition and if it is really worth cutting out gluten and dairy-free to have a "healthier" cycle and tips for high stress and how that impacts your period.

Besides all things birth control, Dr. Brighten shares what we should be doing before starting a family and trying to get pregnant, if it is worth freezing your eggs and all things 4th trimester after having a baby.
