Informed Choice: How Women’s Experiences with Birth Control Change Over Time
From teenage prescriptions to adult reassessments, this episode of Informed Choice explores how birth control affects women’s lives in deeply personal ways. I spoke with two individuals, Nanza Malcolm-Joseph and Alison McCallion (Ali), who shared their unique journeys with contraception, the side effects they didn’t expect, and how they learned to advocate for their own health. With expert insight from Dr. Brooke Hogarth, a family physician at Toronto Metropolitan University clinic, this episode unpacks what happens when clinical recommendations clash with real-world experiences, and why making informed, personal choices matters more than ever.
