Why You Feel 'Off' on Birth Control And What to Do About It

Relaxire

About this episode

You’re not crazy.
You’re not overreacting.
And you’re definitely not alone.
If you’ve been feeling just slightly off—more anxious, less joyful, emotionally flat, or disconnected from yourself—since starting hormonal birth control, your body might be trying to tell you something important.
In this deeply compassionate and science-backed episode, women’s wellness and mindfulness expert Dr. Soha explores the hidden ways hormonal contraceptives can impact not just your cycle, but your mood, energy, libido, gut health, and sense of self.
Many women are never told that synthetic hormones don’t just prevent pregnancy—they interact with your brain, nervous system, and endocrine system in powerful, often overlooked ways. From lowered serotonin to adrenal stress and post-pill recovery challenges, the effects can linger long after you stop taking it.
Dr. Soha breaks down:
  • Why “feeling off” is a real, valid response—not a flaw
  • The most common mental and physical side effects of the pill, IUD, and other hormonal methods
  • How hormonal birth control can mute emotions, dull desire, and disrupt your natural rhythm
  • What to look for if you’re considering a change
  • Steps to heal your hormones, restore balance, and reconnect with your authentic self—whether you stay on, switch, or go off hormonal control

This isn’t about blaming birth control.
It’s about listening to your body, making informed choices, and reclaiming your well-being with compassion and clarity.
🎧 Tune in if you’ve ever thought: “I used to feel more like me.”
Healing begins with asking the right question.
