#125 - The Period Brain & the Pill: Dr. Sarah Hill on Hormones, Birth Control, and Body Literacy
I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Dr. Sarah Hill, psychologist, researcher, and author of The Period Brain, for a powerful conversation about the beauty, intelligence, and complexity of women's hormones. We explored why women deserve to be studied as women, and how decades of medical research have ignored our unique biology.We dive deep into the difference between progestins and real progesterone, the ways hormonal birth control can shift our mood, attraction, and even sense of self, and why the Pill has been called the greatest uncontrolled experiment in women’s health. Dr. Hill also shares her thoughts on the copper IUD, the truth about “local effects,” and how we can raise daughters to be body-literate and hormone-empowered from day one.Whether you're navigating PMS, feeling disconnected from your body, or just want to better understand the magic of your menstrual cycle, this episode will leave you feeling seen, informed, and inspired.-----💫CONNECT W/ ME!💫Herbal remedies + websiteInstagram Tik Tok Pinterest -----Subscribe for weekly content to learn about herbal medicine, nutrition, and holistic living for women’s health!-----DISCLAIMER: The content of this video is for educational purposes.
