Fasting Expert Claims Birth Control Decimates Women's Microbiome and Hormones

What was said

"It's horrible for the microbiome. It decimates the microbiome. And you need your microbiome to make serotonin. You need it for immune system. You need your microbiome to break down estrogen."

Dr. Mindy Pelz argued on the School of Greatness that birth control pills severely damage gut health and hormonal balance in women. She claimed that keeping women on birth control from adolescence to menopause prevents the brain-ovary hormonal pattern from ever establishing naturally, leading to serious long-term hormonal dysfunction. She cited the microbiome's essential role in producing serotonin and breaking down estrogen.
