You started hormonal birth control for peace of mind.

But instead of feeling secure, you’re feeling… off.

Anxious for no reason. Low without a cause. Or worse—nothing at all. Just numb.

What if the pill that was supposed to help you take control is quietly affecting your mental health?

In this eye-opening and heartfelt episode, mindfulness and women’s health expert Dr. Soha shines a long-overdue light on a truth many women have lived but few talk about: Hormonal birth control can significantly impact mood, mental clarity, and emotional well-being.

From the synthetic hormones that cross the blood-brain barrier to their effects on serotonin, dopamine, and cortisol, Dr. Soha breaks down the real science behind how contraceptives like the pill, IUD, or implant can:

Trigger anxiety, depression, or mood swings

Reduce emotional sensitivity and libido

Disrupt gut health, energy, and even self-identity

Create a cycle of symptoms that often go unlinked to the root cause

But this isn’t about fear. It’s about awareness, agency, and healing.

Dr. Soha shares:

The signs your birth control might be affecting your mental health

How long-term use can impact hormonal recovery and post-pill healing

What to discuss with your doctor — and what alternatives exist

Steps to reconnect with your body’s natural rhythm and reclaim emotional balance

🎧 If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not like myself anymore,” this conversation could be the missing piece.

You’re not broken.

You’re not “just hormonal.”

You might just need to ask: Is this me — or is this my birth control?
