Understanding the Impact of Birth Control on Your Brain, Libido and Hormones with Dr. Sarah Hill

If you’ve ever been on birth control, this episode is a MUST
listen. We dive deep into how taking a hormonal contraceptive
impacts the brain, and how our options may be evolving in the
future… with help from a self-experimenting researcher (in the
name of science, of course).


In this episode you’ll learn: 


* What happens to your brain on birth control


* How hormonal birth control impacts attraction


* The link between cortisol and the immune system


* Why we need balanced progesterone and estrogen


* The best alternatives to hormonal birth control


Born and raised in southeastern Wisconsin, Sarah Hill earned her
undergraduate degree in Anthropology from the University of
Wisconsin at Milwaukee. It was at UWM that she was first exposed
to research in human behavioral ecology and evolutionary
psychology. She later earned her Ph.D. at the University of Texas
at Austin working with Dr. David Buss. She has an almost endless
number of research interests, but tends to gravitate toward
questions about relationships and health which she explored in
her book “This is Your Brain on Birth Control”.
