Huberman Lab Clips(@HLPClips):The birth control pill raises your inflammatory tone: - Depletes magnesium and certain B vitamins - Raises high sensitivity CRP, a marker of inflammatory tone, by about 2 to 3x - Makes the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis more rigid, so cortisol can't wax and wane the way it does off the pill - Also affects thyroid function, with an increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease @DrGottfried on @hubermanlab
