The Period Paradox: Why We're Still in the Dark About Sex and Menstruation Let's face it: periods and sex are still major taboos in our society. But why? Join us as we dive into the fascinating world of menstrual cycles, hormones, and sex with the incredible Dr. Sarah E. Hill, author of the groundbreaking book "The Period Brain." We're about to shed some much-needed light on the secrets our bodies have been keeping from us. Here's what you'll learn from this unapologetic conversation: • The real reason we call it a "period" (and why it's not just about bleeding) • The shocking truth about why the luteal phase has been ignored by science and medicine (and how it affects your sex life) • How menstrual cycles impact your sexual desire (it's not just about being "hormonal") • Tips for having mind-blowing sex during the luteal phase (yes, it's possible, even when you're feeling meh) • How to navigate PMS like a pro (no more excuses for bad moods or bad sex) • Advice for partners who want to be more supportive (we've got you, boo) By tuning in, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between periods, hormones, and sex. You'll also learn how to break free from the shame and stigma surrounding menstrual cycles and tap into your full sexual potential. So, what are you waiting for? Join the conversation and get ready to unleash your inner period power! As Dr. Hill says, "The problem isn't that women are hormonal; the problem is that we've been ignoring the second half of the menstrual cycle for far too long." It's time to change that. Dr. Sarah E. Hill is an award-winning researcher, professor, speaker, and consultant who's on a mission to uncover the hidden truths about women's sex hormones. With two paradigm-shattering books under her belt, "This is Your Brain on Birth Control" and "The Period Brain," she's the perfect guide to help you navigate the wild world of periods and sex.
