The Hidden Impact of Birth Control + Wha...

MIKHAILA PETERSON
About this episode

This is an episode every man who has a relationship with someone on or considering birth control and every woman should listen to. Dr. Sarah Hill and I discussed side effects (or rather the effects) of birth control that most people aren’t aware of. We covered hacks for men to attract women and how birth control influences a woman's mental health, behaviors and choice of partners. We also talked about how to make smart choices about birth control, hormonal support during menopause, fertility and more. 

Dr. Sarah E. Hill earned her PhD from the University of Texas and she is currently a researcher and professor of psychology at TCU. Her research on women, health, and sexual psychology has been published in more than 75 journal articles and is regularly featured in news outlets like the New York Times, The Economist, The Washington Post, and many others. Most recently, Sarah has authored This Is Your Brain on Birth Control, a groundbreaking book about the effects of hormonal contraceptives on women’s psychology.

Sarah’s book, This Is Your Brain On Birth Control, can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/This-Your-Brain-Birth-Control-ebook/dp/B07MYLLP21
