Carolyn Brown, RD Q+A On Post Pill Syndrome, Gut Health, and Hormone Health
Carolyn Brown is an RD with a focus in holistic and integrative nutrition. She also happens to be the co-founder of Indigo Wellness — her fellow co-founder is Sarah Swanberg, who unpacked acupuncture for us just a few episodes ago. In this conversation Carolyn answers all my questions around gut health, how to support your body no matter what stage of life you’re in, what happens to your body once you come off the birth control pill, and so much more.
