But did you know that the pill also has a huge impact on your brain chemistry, behavior and ultimately how you experience the world? Dr. Sarah Hill is a leading researcher in evolutionary psychology who has become fascinated with the effects of birth control on our psychology and health. After experiencing post-birth control syndrome first hand, Dr. Sarah realized that the pill had altered how her brain functioned and her experience as a human being. Since then Dr. Sarah has worked to understand the way the pill changes the brain and provide women context into what is going on with birth control so that they can make informed decisions about their health.On this episode we are digging into exactly how the birth control pill impacts your brain functioning, hormones, mood and outlook on life, examining why it has become commonplace for practitioners to prescribe birth control as a one-size-fits-all medical bandaid, and the potential harm that the birth control pill is having on women without them knowing it. Hormonal birth control can influence everything from your zest and vibrancy for life, to who you are attracted to and your likelihood of depression or suicide. It is important for you to equip yourself with the knowledge you need to make a decision that is right for you and your health.

What we're talking about in this episode Examining the conversation around the taxation and profitability of menstrual products Tips to get more involved in advocacy and how to commit to policy change Ways that you can get your legislators talking about the economics of menstruation How to embrace the political aspect of periods and remove the stigma Exploring the lack of access to menstruation products in America and on a global scale  Episode SummaryDid you know that there are women in the US right now who cannot afford or gain access to menstrual supplies? The passion to bring awareness to menstrual product accessibility for women and girls all over the world is one I share with today's guest, Jennifer Weiss-Wolf. A gender, politics and menstruation advocate, attorney and the architect of the US campaign to squash the tampon tax, Jennifer is taking her dedication and expertise to the policies and laws that we live our lives by. Over a dozen states have taken action towards menstrual accessibility in the past four years since Jennifer started working on this issue, and 32 have taken steps to eliminate the tampon tax. Jennifer is moving the needle in policy and actually moving lawmakers to action through vocabulary, framework, tools, and most importantly, support from women like you. Jennifer works to open up the conversation around the lack of access to menstrual products in the United States, and wants to ensure that menstruating does not pose an obstacle in people's lives regardless of their age, race, or social status. By putting the issues around menstruation in front of legislators in a way they can understand, Jennifer expresses her civic duty to get everyone fully engaged in the conversation. It is time to change how menstruation exists in our public spheres and change the policy our government creates in order to accomplish global and locally appropriate solutions. Our current policies and laws do not reflect our wellbeing or our reality, and it is only through becoming involved in advocacy that you can be more represented in your legal structures and in turn push the issues you believe in into the limelight. Resources MentionedPeriods Gone Public by Jennifer Weiss-WolfFollow Jennifer on TwitterTax Free.
