Dr. Sarah Hill is a leading researcher in the dynamic and rapidly expanding field of evolutionary psychology and the author of This Is Your Brain on Birth Control. We’ll be discussing hormonal birth control and how it impacts our mental health, amongst many other aspects of our health.

In this episode, we talk about Sarah’s personal experience with taking the pill, how her life changed after coming off the pill, the reason more women aren’t aware of the full spectrum of potential side effects of the pill, how the pill affects your choice of partner, the potential impact of coming off the pill on your relationship, and so much more!
