what problems were we solving exactly a couple pimples we were advised to no now this is the
00:00:06.940
oh my god can you imagine this at home oh my god the nagging okay so today we're going to be talking
00:00:15.420
about birth control so um i want to first start off by saying welcome to another episode of pearl
00:00:24.440
daily so the sexual revolution is most commonly referred to as the time in the 1960s and 70s
00:00:31.180
where in western culture american culture in particular changed its attitude towards sex
00:00:36.220
physical intimacy between men and women one of the major contributions to this is the introduction
00:00:41.560
of oral birth control pill women for the first time could have sex with men with a minimized risk
00:00:48.240
of pregnancy the first oral contraceptive pill was approved by the fda in 1960 and within two
00:00:54.320
years with over 1.2 million women using it by 1965 one in four married women under the age of 45
00:01:01.700
were using or had tried the pill by 1984 50 to 80 million women were using the pill and by 2013 over
00:01:09.700
100 million women were using the birth control pill you're hearing these numbers and thinking wow this
00:01:14.580
is a great solution it's like magic it solved all of women's problems but what these women did not
00:01:20.080
consider were the side effects of hormonal birth control the most common side effects include
00:01:24.360
nausea headaches increased blood increased blood pressure mood swings weight changes the more serious
00:01:30.300
side effects include blood clots anxiety stroke stroke and deep vein thrombosis birth control has become
00:01:37.860
accepted as part of american culture that many mothers put their daughters on on it at the age of 16 in
00:01:43.740
their teenage years and this has led to many women being on birth control for decades without
00:01:48.540
thinking because they're too dumb to think about the long-term side effects and by the way the way
00:01:55.460
i phrase that is that mothers put their daughters on birth control but to be honest these daughters
00:02:00.140
are sleeping with pookie and ray ray these mothers don't know what to do they're like f i can't stop or
00:02:06.400
she's crawling through the window to sleep with pookie and ray ray and so whenever women give these sob
00:02:11.200
stories about getting put on birth control by their parents i want you to ask yourself why would the parents
00:02:16.640
put them on birth control it's probably because she was doing some ho shit you know what i mean
00:02:21.620
um now the long-term effects of hormonal um birth control is what we're going to talk about on today's
00:02:27.920
show this will be a call-in show so when you do call in tell me your opinion on the pill do you think
00:02:32.860
it was a good or a bad thing for society and what is your experience been with birth control and if you
00:02:38.180
have a daughter did she put herself on birth control or did you put her on birth control would you
00:02:44.360
now i do want to give a little preface i want to tell you my experience with birth control
00:02:49.200
so um when i was 16 um i was pretty innocent to be honest like i i was a very innocent i know i don't
00:03:00.780
obviously you probably aren't going to believe me i guess i'm a woman i've got a signal purity right
00:03:05.320
but i'll tell you what when i was in high school i just i didn't do much i was very into volleyball
00:03:12.100
like i'm kind of the same as i am now i'm pretty into my channel
00:03:16.000
so i was pretty busy right and um there were like i always remember going to football games
00:03:24.460
and being bored like i just there's something wrong with me i think because i don't think i get
00:03:31.180
social gratification from just sitting and hanging out all day i just don't i don't i don't really want
00:03:38.460
to sit and play i want to go learn something that's just kind of how i go do something it's
00:03:43.000
just how i've always been you know i always got most improved on the team because other girls had
00:03:47.120
lives not me
00:03:48.720
so uh we got a five dollar super chat thank you so much documentary got five on it thank you thank
00:03:57.780
you very much for the donation so i you know i've always just been kind of weird i've been a little
00:04:03.780
strange you know a little odd i'll say so when i was 16 i remember women on my team were going on
00:04:12.680
birth control and at this time um i don't want to say when i became sexually active you know i'm 20
00:04:20.000
i'm 28 now but i'll just say this at that time i wasn't right and the girls on my team
00:04:28.100
were starting to get on birth control and i remember telling the women on my team at the time
00:04:38.600
hey um i think this could have side effects i don't know like i'm not i'm not a doctor i don't know
00:04:47.560
but i'm just logically thinking about it and i'm thinking this can't be good for you it just can't
00:04:54.100
like i you cannot shut off your fertility
00:04:57.340
you can't shut off your fertility and not have any consequences i have a hard time believing that
00:05:11.660
so i'll hear women like this and i just thought of this when i was talking like alex clark
00:05:19.960
and these women take no accountability because when i at the time said this to my fellow teammates
00:05:26.940
um they all laughed at me they all they all kind of looked at me like i was stupid and i thought
00:05:33.460
okay have fun now i'm not gonna you know purity signal here and act like i never tried the pill or
00:05:40.960
anything but i'll say this i barely did i was on it like one maybe two years and my personal experience
00:05:49.400
was i had no side effects i felt fine um
00:05:53.860
but i still just had this voice in the back of my head that said i don't think i can be on this
00:06:03.060
and not have a consequence so i you know against i went to the doctor and i told them this and
00:06:09.460
they all said no are you sure and i'm like yeah i'm pretty sure i'm gonna i'm gonna get off it
00:06:16.700
and and you know because i i always felt like my health was in my hands i always felt like my
00:06:22.500
health was my responsibility um it wasn't the doctor's responsibility or what society tells me
00:06:29.480
and what all these women are are going through is they hit 30 they've gotten chlamydia too many
00:06:34.240
times they're infertile which if a woman tells you she has fertility issues it very well may be chlamydia
00:06:40.500
gonorrhea or um
00:06:42.960
or birth control so a choice right so here this is alex clark i think it was this one
00:06:53.100
pediatricians wasted no time telling us that there was a magic pill that could solve all of our problems
00:06:58.900
in a 10 minute wellness checkup with like how stupid can you be you deserve it alex if you have
00:07:05.320
issues because of being on birth control for a decade that's your own fault you deserve it and
00:07:10.560
i mean that you really do deserve that and it's kind of like you know the other day i got locked
00:07:16.760
out of my twitter account um some guy from india called me and i fell i fell for a stupid scammer email
00:07:24.400
um it was so stupid i got locked out of my account they started pushing bitcoin i have it back now but i did
00:07:30.360
get locked out for like a week and i didn't even feel bad for myself because it was so stupid i was
00:07:35.560
like i deserve that and alex clark is trying to blame the doctors when it's like bitch google's existed
00:07:42.920
and you could google the side effects then i remember because i remember i remember googling this stuff
00:07:52.600
so i'm getting pretty sick and tired i'm getting pretty sick and tired of women blaming everybody
00:08:00.600
else for the birth control side effects
00:08:06.360
can we change the title to modern women blame birth control for the consequences of being a hoe
00:08:14.640
i just think that's better no informed consent about the risks or side effects what problems
00:08:22.400
were we solving exactly a couple pimples we were advised to no now this is the oh my god can you
00:08:29.680
imagine this at home oh my god the nagging so now she's gonna blame it she's gonna blame it on
00:08:38.160
the you know because they did give you birth control for acne but remember women love plausible
00:08:43.280
deniability so you know the moms might be like hey honey get on this birth control for for the acne but
00:08:50.160
really you know she's noticed that you've snuck out five times this week and is like we gotta
00:08:54.560
we can't have her get pregnant by gavin the starving musician tyrone gloctavia like we can't do that so
00:09:01.280
worry about learning to track our cycle or understand our hormones no conversation about
00:09:06.720
how our likelihood to experience anxiety or depression i looked it up myself and that's why
00:09:12.960
that's why i get so pissed because okay i didn't have i went to catholic school i got worse than you
00:09:19.280
guys i got a chastity talk at catholic school from a run-through hoe and a simp i went to catholic
00:09:29.040
school and they had jason everett and christiana everett and christian you can google them christian you can
00:09:35.040
google their speeches christiana everett you know she came in and basically talked about how she was a hoe
00:09:41.360
and now she hoes no mo and then she married jason that's like the gist of it and we had that every
00:09:48.080
year no sex ed no nothing but again i wasn't retarded and i'm just so tired of women acting like
00:09:57.040
look everything in life is a calculated risk you can't do anything in life without taking risk
00:10:02.960
so if you want to go get banged out or whatever and not get pregnant then wear a condom if you can't
00:10:10.560
do that it's just i just so irritating it would increase by 80 percent on the pill we stayed on
00:10:19.120
the pill because no one advised us it was only ever supposed to be taken temporarily
00:10:27.200
you're so stupid oh my god
00:10:30.080
oh my god she's so dumb like i you know what i mean i have no medical background none and i i could have
00:10:42.400
figured that out i i did figure that out and i like i did i was on it but i was on it for a very short
00:10:49.680
period of time and i got my fertility tested look and i got flying colors
00:10:56.320
i i got it tested last year they're like fly your hormones flying colors
00:11:02.000
it's called not being retarded ladies
00:11:13.040
then we wanted to have children we got off birth control for the first time in our adult lives only
00:11:18.240
to discover that we had major fertility issues that the hormonal birth control hit suddenly
00:11:23.760
bro you have fertility issues because you're like 32 and i'm not knocking it like i'm 28 you know it's
00:11:34.320
like i'm i'm old too but it's like
00:11:42.320
come on starting a family means spending tens of thousands of dollars on ivf and other fertility
00:11:47.840
treatments because even more medical interventions are always the first solution rather than addressing
00:11:53.360
the root causes of the problem pediatricians wait
00:12:02.320
all right let's go to the next tick tock i just i just can't i can't and you know what
00:12:08.160
10 years later some of my friends did have hormone issues and you know what i didn't feel bad for them
00:12:13.520
at all birth control at all i didn't feel bad because it's like they're like oh nobody told me
00:12:19.760
the truth you didn't want to hear the truth you wanted to go get banged out at college like can we
00:12:23.840
just call this what it is girl is one of the most damaging things you can put in your body
00:12:29.600
specifically for your body's biological stress response this is because birth control is linked
00:12:35.200
to increased prefrontal brain activity when you're experiencing negative feelings or emotions so
00:12:41.760
on birth control your brain spends more time capturing memories of stress fear worry and trauma
00:12:48.880
than it does on memories of happiness joy and contentment and over time that will disrupt your
00:12:54.800
processing of those negative emotions which is impacting the way you respond to both minor and
00:13:00.160
major stressors not only does birth control mess with the way that you handle stress there's also
00:13:05.200
evidence for increased so look my my short time on it i didn't really feel that different i also don't
00:13:13.360
think it really makes you gain weight i think it's the environment because most women get on birth control
00:13:20.240
in college so you're drinking way more like i did gain weight but i think it was because of what i was eating
00:13:26.800
you know we our school cafeteria had some pretty bad food so i get a little irritated when the women are
00:13:34.640
like oh the birth control made me fat really it's not what you put in your mouth i don't know like i think
00:13:42.080
at 1200 calories you'll still lose weight i just i'm so tired of this potential for nutrient deficiencies
00:13:50.080
weight gain persistent low mood and also a higher risk of experiencing a stroke blood clot and even
00:13:56.800
a heart attack so if you've been taking birth control for longer than a year this might be why you're
00:14:01.600
experiencing low mood irritability and you're also a compulsive warrior
00:14:08.560
yep all right as most of you know i have been fighting on the front lines of the simp epidemic for years
00:14:15.360
but i need to tell you about a quiet weapon being ratcheted up against men that is rarely
00:14:19.840
talked about it's not just the relentless anti-masculinity propaganda and only fans hoes
00:14:24.720
causing the societal issues that we discuss on the show did you know that the average city's tap water
00:14:30.560
contains trace pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors this often includes estrogen from
00:14:35.840
birth control the average adult consumes a credit card worth of plastic every single week that's five
00:14:40.960
grams of plastic a week on average so it's no wonder that the average male's testosterone is half of what
00:14:46.960
the average was 50 years ago testosterone levels decline one percent a year and without a course
00:14:52.560

00:15:49.040
discount code see what's next i don't know sometimes i think like the side effects are just things that
00:15:56.560
happen to women anyway and i'm not saying i i bet the hormone imbalance but like i've never met a woman
00:16:04.080
whose hormones are so balanced that she's not crazy and doesn't have mood swings
00:16:08.720
or does it get fat you know what i mean i know women on birth control that didn't get fat
00:16:18.880
say that the birth control pill makes the doctor's lives easier and the patient's lives worse
00:16:23.840
so many women will go to their gynecologist or their primary care maybe they have irregular periods
00:16:28.880
or maybe they have symptoms of pcos or acne or some other hormonal symptom and it's like a reflex the
00:16:34.640
doctor just writes a prescription for the birth control there's no discussion about lifestyle
00:16:38.400
there's no discussion about risks i've seen patients prescribe birth control who were smokers
00:16:42.720
who should never be given birth control i've seen patients who had clotting conditions in their medical
00:16:47.520
history there's good evidence birth control pills can disrupt some of the absorption of other vitamins
00:16:52.400
key vitamins and minerals as well as other side effects from it rarely do i ever prescribe it i
00:16:57.040
always try to encourage my patients to look at other options when you take a hormone
00:17:01.360
it will suppress your own body from making it so when we take birth control okay so this is how it
00:17:05.760
goes women we have a tendency to want to do a stupid thing and so then the men are like all right we'll
00:17:12.560
help you do the stupid thing you want to leave your husband and go you know my grandma she passed away
00:17:17.200
but before she died i asked her because she really lived through all the divorces and i asked her i'm like
00:17:23.920
what do you think caused all these like divorces like what do you think and my grandma told me birth control
00:17:32.080
the other funny thing about my grandma before she died um she died like a year or two ago
00:17:38.080
i asked her if she had any regrets in life my grandma had nine kids and she said she wished she
00:17:42.880
had more kids i'm like grandma how many kids did you want she's like i went on the pill for three
00:17:48.880
years i would have wanted 12 i'm like grandma
00:17:54.720
you know
00:17:55.200
why don't these women get pearl read why don't these 304s know that birth control makes them
00:18:01.200
infertile i've met women who are put on it by their doctors to give them more regular periods
00:18:05.440
or reduced pms i only heard this recently they don't want to know that's that's the thing women
00:18:12.160
want to do an irresponsible thing and they don't want to know like okay women when we want to know if a
00:18:18.400
guy's cheating there's apps that like completely let women air out dates and all this stuff like
00:18:25.040
are we dating the same guy we go to the ends of the earth to find out t on men
00:18:31.760
but we don't go to the ends of the earth um to find out what the side effects are of birth control
00:18:38.320
do you know what i mean it's like we have the ability to do it we choose not to
00:18:44.320
and i'm telling you i when i was 16 i had this thought that i'm like this can't be good for you
00:18:52.080
and i'm not acting like a like i'm some super moral person i went on it for a little bit
00:18:58.000
and i had zero side effects and i just couldn't get rid of this sunken feeling
00:19:02.720
that there's going to be problems later and i went off and and the doctors told me not to go off
00:19:09.360
and i just thought you know what i can figure out how not to get pregnant i can um so when i get tired
00:19:19.200
i really get tired of i just get so exhausted of women you know just always blaming the men because
00:19:29.520
really the men adapt to the market the women are like we want to bang without getting pregnant the
00:19:34.560
men say here you go and they're like well we don't want to catch stds they're like here's a condom there
00:19:38.640
you go and now the women um made a mistake and now there's going to be all these industries uh
00:19:46.160
based off of women's mistakes like tattoo removals etc
00:19:51.040
called pills the pituitary sees that and it shuts down sometimes patients will come to me saying i want you
00:19:56.240
to test my hormones but they're on birth control and i said well the only hormone i'm going to be
00:19:59.840
measuring is what's in your pill i try to just reassure people it's going to take a while for
00:20:03.840
things to rebalance there's nothing else we can do by time there's no way to sort of i don't know i
00:20:08.720
felt fine on it i felt fine after like i literally can't think of a single i did gain weight but it i just
00:20:17.520
can't blame it on the pill i really can't i i blame it on my decisions you know all right what do we got next
00:20:26.800
i i see you guys in the comment and some are saying i look old because i'm not wearing makeup
00:20:32.240
today and some are some are saying they like the look but i just i'm gonna wear less guys um i got
00:20:39.440
a lot better in the last year of makeup but i just i don't like the feeling of paint on my face
00:20:46.720
i'll still wear it sometimes but i'm like probably the older i get i'll wear more but i just can't do it
00:20:53.440
every day most people who agree to a birth control pill don't receive full informed consent they're
00:20:59.120
not told that it'll raise the inflammation in your body by two to three fold it increases your risk of
00:21:05.040
autoimmune disease especially crohn's disease it makes your okay i just want to show them informed
00:21:11.120
consent all right let's google birth control side effects wow right on the top of google
00:21:21.760
and you know they'll always say well you're just a kid when that happens not really
00:21:30.320
not really i mean
00:21:36.160
you know i mean 15 16 they know how to do the tick tock dances
00:21:43.040
you can't figure out how to google the side effects
00:21:46.160
control system for your hormones less flexible it can rob you of testosterone it can lower your
00:21:53.040
free testosterone it can shrink your clitoris by up to 20 i feel like if that was part of the
00:21:58.560
informed consent very few people would sign up for it and i went on the birth control bill when i was 16
00:22:03.200
but i feel like there are some costs to it that um a lot of teenagers and women in their 20s and 30s
00:22:11.040
aren't aware of and for me i feel like that awareness is really critical so who's it for i would say it's
00:22:17.680
a simple entree into contraception but i would much rather people use things like an iud or condoms or
00:22:26.320
some other barrier method that doesn't mess with their hormonal intelligence i don't know they don't care
00:22:32.160
uh so i'm just i'm talk about is she crazy or is it the birth control because if she's just crazy
00:22:44.640
it'll be easy to blame it on the birth control right but the long-term effects of hormonal birth
00:22:49.520
control on women's body and if you give women an out like obviously they're gonna take it so they're
00:22:54.480
gonna be like no it wasn't me it was my birth control hormonal birth control suppresses our natural
00:23:00.480
ovulation which is why we don't get pregnant while we are on hormonal birth control so ovulation is
00:23:06.880
actually really important for our overall long-term health and ovulation actually helps us avoid
00:23:13.120
diseases like osteoporosis heart disease heart attacks and even breast cancer the other thing
00:23:18.560
they don't tell you when women have heavy periods i don't know this is tmi i'll say i've had that issue
00:23:27.760
and it's always related to diet like that's the thing your health is so much more in your control
00:23:34.560
than you think it's so much more in control like if you're eating like crap of course you're gonna
00:23:42.720
have issues so all hormonal birth control suppresses our natural ovulation except sometimes the hormonal i
00:23:51.200
pearl no make it makeup needed longer hair adds a lot my hair doesn't grow i haven't had a haircut in
00:23:59.040
almost a year and this is how long it gets
00:24:10.160
i used to have extensions those are great but they're so uncomfortable i just can't do it
00:24:14.720
and suppressing our ovulation for years even decades in some cases really does have long-term effects
00:24:23.280
even if our ovulation begins right after coming off of hormonal birth control so exposing our bodies to
00:24:29.920
these synthetic hormones instead of our own natural hormones really can be a root cause for a lot of
00:24:36.880
diseases so ovulation is important in so many ways and not just for conceiving hormonal birth control
00:24:44.320
especially the hormonal birth control pill destroys our gut microbiome so it's kind of acting like an
00:24:50.640
antibiotic destroying the balance of our gut microbiome if your doctor prescribed i don't know
00:24:56.880
i hear the gut microbiome stuff what the heck oh my gosh what is it doing that okay i hear the gut
00:25:06.640
i hear the gut microbiome and i always just think it's women being fat you know what i mean it's just
00:25:14.320
destroying the balance of our gut microbiome if your doctor prescribes you a hormonal birth control
00:25:21.440
pill especially for pcos so that it can actually make your symptoms worse with weight gain and insulin
00:25:28.640
sensitivity because of the impact on your gut microbiome there's also a new research study showing
00:25:35.040
that the hormonal birth control pill can actually trigger crohn's disease which is a disease of the gut
00:25:41.600
microbiome gut microbiome gut microbiome is something that is very new in the research field
00:25:46.080
more and more studies are coming out how important a good healthy gut microbiome balance is for our
00:25:53.040
overall health maybe you've heard that it affects our moods it affects our skin it affects our hair
00:26:00.160
it affects our hormones it really does affect everything so a healthy gut microbiome is essential for good
00:26:07.120
physical and physical and mental health and now it is possible to obviously fix your gut microbiome but it does
00:26:13.600
take a long time i am now two years after quitting hormonal birth control pill and i'm still figuring out the
00:26:21.280
balance and still trying to heal my gut hormonal birth control also increases inflammation in the body
00:26:27.840
so if you are prescribed hormonal birth control pills like i was for pms like cramps and those issues
00:26:34.720
are a symptom of hormonal imbalance and inflammation and so it does not solve and heal you
00:26:46.320
what the oh my gosh my destroys our gut microbiome so it's kind of all right i don't okay i'm just gonna
00:26:53.440
exit out of this one uh my laptop does this sometimes crashes out hopefully it doesn't do in the next one
00:27:02.000
all right family if you're watching like turn this off and girl talk but when i went off my birth control
00:27:09.920
my sex drive went through the roof because you know sometimes like birth control can affect that
00:27:13.920
my lexapro definitely affects that at times so i was feeling great basically i started to get
00:27:19.840
really really bad acne and this is when i like going into my senior year of college but everything
00:27:25.120
happens for a reason because i started posting about my acne online and that's how i got started
00:27:29.920
on here but basically i started to get the worst acne i've ever had in my entire life like blistering
00:27:35.520
cystic acne on my face down my neck everything and i was basically told from a doctor that like my
00:27:42.320
testosterone levels were high and they were like you need to get back on birth control like you could maybe
00:27:46.320
have pcos so i'm back on birth control so my senior year of college back on my birth control whatever
00:27:51.520
so that was for like two more years so last year i went off of the birth control so six months after
00:27:56.960
in the fall of this year i guess started to break out really really bad again and i went on spironolactone
00:28:02.640
for my acne and i started a really really good skincare regimen and my skin ultimately ended up like
00:28:08.240
balancing out and figuring itself out but i personally feel a lot better not being on birth control but
00:28:13.840
obviously that's also something you have to be very careful about especially in a relationship
00:28:21.360
all right so that's her experience on birth control let's see who's next what do you wish
00:28:27.440
you were told on that day when you first given that little packet of pills if they were being
00:28:30.880
completely honest with you and they google it i can't take it i just can't take it you know like
00:28:40.000
the one person i know that was that went crazy on birth control she was already nuts so yeah like it
00:28:47.920
doesn't shock me she went more nuts because she was nuts he knew what you know now what is the sort of
00:28:53.920
the list of things you would have said to a young sarah about this decision the thing that would have
00:28:59.360
really made a difference to me is that your hormones make you who you are and when you change your hormones
00:29:06.960
you change who you are right so the birth control pill is going to change you it changes the version
00:29:12.320
of yourself that your brain creates and so if you're going to be going on this you need to understand
00:29:17.520
what that does so this of course begs the question hi doug thanks for going live and keeping
00:29:22.480
doing great things oh yeah you should check it out doug mpa does do shows when i'm not here
00:29:28.720
um and i was checking out by the way guys the more i'm debating how nice of a place to get
00:29:36.240
in the place that we're moving so i i've been going back and forth looking at places
00:29:45.040
anyways the more support we get the more cool things we can get so i always try to reinvest
00:29:51.680
into the studio what does it do and there's at least five different things that the birth control
00:29:58.800
does to change who we are right it changes our sexual desire and who we're attracted to
00:30:04.880
it changes our emotional states right it can affect our moods it can affect our ability to regulate yeah so
00:30:12.240
it turns off ovulation so yeah i mean it's going to decrease your sex drive because your highest sex drive
00:30:19.920
is during ovulation late and to manage stress it influences sexual desire and sexual function
00:30:28.320
it influences our ability to be able to put on muscle mass and affects our like nutrition and fitness
00:30:35.840
goals right it affects all of us and not knowing all of that and not knowing the potential risks of
00:30:43.520
having side effects related to mental health
00:30:45.840
mental health and libido all the way to everything you know to like who a person is attracted to
00:30:52.000
i wish i would have known that that probably would have you know impacted again um decisions that i
00:30:58.560
would have made about staying on it when i didn't need to because there was well you should have googled
00:31:03.920
it you should have googled it you should have googled it you should have googled it should
00:31:06.720
it had some common sense i just can't take it anymore
00:31:14.880
you
