He isn't a doctor or a woman, but he is passionate about exposing the very real dangers of hormonal birth control. Mike Gaskins is a media writer/producer who began his journey as a women's health advocate after a world-renowned physician lied to him about birth control side effects. This chance encounter triggered a passion for research that led Mike to discover many shocking levels of deceit and misinformation surrounding these potent drugs. He recently collaborated with a group of leading physicians and women's health advocates on a citizen's petition to the FDA asking for new and stronger black box warnings on all hormonal contraceptives. He frequently writes for websites like Hormones Matter and Natural Womanhood, and his new book, In the Name of The Pill explores the dubious nature of both the history and science of hormonal birth control.

Topics discussed in today's episode: How Dr. Kyrin's family history with medicine and science along with her personal interest in science and how the body works led her to a medical career Kyrin's own declining health led her to look beyond what she learned in medical school to focusing on natural medicine Looking at difference between what Doctors are taught in medical school on how to treat issues related to the menstrual cycle and how Dr. Kyrin treats patients knowing what she knows now The importance of becoming the CEO of your own health, and educating and investigating yourself on your body, in order to know when something is wrong The common belief that we should look outside of ourselves for answers and go straight to a medical professional is not always the right solution In over for a double blind placebo control trial to be a proper trial, you need to blind the participant and blind the doctor administering the drug The power of our minds is so strong, we can change outcomes based on observations- what a doctor believes about their patients and what the patient believes about the treatments, causes an outcome and if we believe it will be beneficial it will be beneficial and if we believe it wont work it wont work The understanding of beliefs are thoughts that you've thought about 1,000 times that have become unconscious and a drive of your behavior Connect with Dr. Kyrin Dunston: You can connect with Nicole on her Website, Facebook, or Twitter.
