Your Brain on Birth Control ... and PMS | Sarah Hill, PhD
Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark
How the Luteal Phase Changes Women's Needs
Sarah Hill explains how progesterone flips physiological and behavioral switches in the luteal phase, altering sleep, calories, and threat detection.
Could the birth control pill be shaping women’s moods, desires, and even same-sex attraction — and what men should know about PMS?
Dr. Sarah Hill, award-winning researcher and author of This Is Your Brain on Birth Control and The Period Brain, has spent years exploring these questions — and the answers are wild. She explains how hormonal birth control can impact mood, stress, and even the partners women are drawn to — plus why PMS is so misunderstood.
