I started Lady Time Learning because it wasn’t until graduate school that I had any clue how my body worked. I had no idea that my monthly cycle could be used as a metric for internal health. I also had no idea that hormonal birth control has a plethora of Drug Induced Nutritional Depletions (DINDs)

I had no idea DINDs existed until graduate school, even though I had been on and off birth control for many years. No one ever told me that it could be depleting my body of important vitamins and minerals. I had no idea that most over the counter medicine and prescription medicine side effects are often the result of DINDs until graduate school. 

I feel that lack of informed consent is one of the greatest issues people are facing while navigating the healthcare system. So I created Lady Time Learning to help teach women how their body’s work so they can make informed decisions. If I had known in undergrad what I know now about hormonal birth control, there is a strong possibility that I would have made a different choice.

Like so many women, I wasn’t provided with information so I could make a truly informed decision. So now I am one of the resources of information for women so they learn to make informed decisions through empowered choice.

I’m not completely anti-pill, my hope is that women thoroughly consider the risk : reward ratios with the their health decision and make an empowered choice.

Empowered choices through education is my goal for all women who work with me through Lady time Learning.
