Mike Gaskins has done some great research on the deeper topics relating to risks, history, and side effects of the pill. In this book, you will learn about the history that pharma industries intentionally hid/covered up, and risks you were never warned about. Disturbing, but in an insightful need-to-know way.

A must read for every woman considering the pill…

What I liked about this book is that I really felt like the author cared about the women he was writing to. His book was well researched and a short great book for knowing the history and side effects of bc.

women have to suffer all the health consequences of the hormonal bc and no doctor knows exaclty why or how. Not that I know of. This book is perfectly written and narrated. full of referenced and right to the point. every body has to read it. aside from all the side effects described in it, every single woman that I've seen in my practice comes with a plethora of symptoms that go away once they ditch the pill. Many of them doubt their sexuality while on it why? Because they are in a chemical menopause! There is no biological reason for them to be attracted to men. This is has to stop. It's unfair and ruins women's lives.

every ginecolgist has to read this

The history of hormonal birth control presented in this book paints a truth stranger than fiction and is a good reminder that the pill's approval predates modern FDA regulations.

A must listen for every woman who's on or has ever taken birth control of any kind... the likely cause of your health condition is your birth control.

The production for this audiobook rates in the top 5 of any audiobook I've ever listened to including Moriarty.

fascinating and prescient
