About this episode

Sis, it’s time to talk about a topic that impacts so many of us—contraception! In this episode, we’re breaking down the different types of contraceptives, how they work, and the effects they can have on your body, mental health, and fitness journey. Whether it’s hormonal methods like the pill and IUDs, non-hormonal options like the copper IUD, or natural family planning, I’ll guide you through the science behind these methods and share how they might influence everything from your energy levels to muscle recovery and endurance.


Plus, I’ll offer tips on navigating fitness while on contraceptives and remind you that your body, your choice, and your goals matter most. Tune in for an honest, educational chat that will empower you to make the best decisions for your health and fitness!
