Sex, Drugs and the Side-Effects of Birth...

Dr. Emily Morse
About this episode

80% of American women will try birth control at some point in their lives. But what does the pill do over time? Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein are here to demystify the murky, confusing world of birth control and their new film The Business of Birth Control.

We discuss the side effects of taking these medications and the information we should all have before deciding which one to use. Ricki also opens up about her newfound sex drive and how at age 52, she’s “feeling like a horny 16-year-old boy.” If you’ve ever had questions about birth control, hormones, and sex drive, this episode is for you.
