This serendipitous meeting ignited Mike's dedication to conducting thorough research, through which he uncovered numerous instances of deception and dissemination of inaccurate information surrounding these powerful medications.He frequently writes for a number of websites, and his book, In the Name of The Pill, explores the dubious nature of both the history and science of hormonal birth control.In the Name of The PillInstagram @IntheNameofthePillMike Gaskins - FacebookNote: This podcast episode is designed solely for informational and educational purposes, without endorsing or promoting any specific medical treatments.
