Summary
My guest today, Sarah Hill PhD, is an award winning research psychologist and professor with expertise in women, health, and sexual psychology. We discuss her latest book, "This is Your Brain on Birth Control: The Surprising Science of Women, Hormones, and the Law of Unintended Consequences."
For all my men out there don't run for the exits. If you are connected to a woman this is important for you to understand as well. With Sarah's extensive expertise in neuroscience and psychology, she brings a fresh perspective to the conversation surrounding birth control-challenging and expanding our understanding of its impact on women's minds and bodies. Not to mention the influence on partner picking while dating versus going off chemical birth control and starting a family. Is there data suggesting that you may pick otherwise if you were not on some form of chemical birth control?
Sarah is an esteemed professor and researcher, delving deep into the effects of birth control on the female brain. She is here to share her fascinating findings and shed light on the intimate connection between hormones, mental health, and our overall well-being. I have three daughters, Sarah has one daughter and we discuss what recommendations we would make for ourselves and for them.
All women need to be armed with helpful scientific information so they are able navigate the many decisions and choices they need to make throughout the various phases of their life. Enjoy
