The invention of birth control has revolutionized women’s lives, giving them more control over their futures and goals. But how much do we really know about its impact on the brain and body?
In this powerful throwback episode of the Women’s Vibrancy Code podcast, Maraya sits down with Dr. Sarah E. Hill, renowned women’s health researcher, professor at TCU, and author of This Is Your Brain on Birth Control. Together, they dive into the science behind hormonal contraception, exploring its effects on brain development, hormones, mood, and the stress response.
What we cover:
- How hormonal birth control suppresses ovulation and alters communication between the brain and ovaries.
- The potential long-term effects of synthetic hormones on young girls’ brain development.
- How hormonal contraception affects libido, mood, and adrenal health.
- The little-known phenomenon of post-birth control syndrome and its implications for recovery.
- Actionable steps to educate yourself, advocate for your health, and explore alternatives to hormonal contraception.
Whether you’re currently on birth control, have been in the past, or are exploring your options, this conversation is packed with information to help you make empowered choices.
