121. History & Untold Harms of Hormonal Birth Control w/ Mike Gaskins
Manage episode 399850561 series 2934387
Approximately 10.2 million women in the United States are presently utilizing oral contraceptives. However, there is limited awareness regarding the history of these medications' approval and a tendency to underestimate their potential risks. Mike Gaskins, an author and media producer, embarked on his path as a women's health advocate following an encounter with a renowned physician who misled him about the side effects of birth control. This serendipitous meeting ignited Mike's dedication to conducting thorough research, through which he uncovered numerous instances of deception and dissemination of inaccurate information surrounding these powerful medications.
He frequently writes for a number of websites, and his book, In the Name of The Pill, explores the dubious nature of both the history and science of hormonal birth control.
