How Birth Control Pills Change Who You Are
In this episode, I dive into Dr. Sarah E. Hill's book "How the Pill Changes Everything: Your Brain on Birth Control" and I highlight some crucial points you may consider before taking birth control pills. It isn't about whether you should have the pill or not, it is about having access to the right information so you can choose smartly what is best for you.
If you need help as to what is best for you, I highly recommend buying Dr. Hill's book: https://www.amazon.com/How-Pill-Changes-Everything-Control-ebook/dp/B07QCPS2WV
Sarah E. Hill, Ph.D. is a professor of psychology and researcher. She reveals how the Pill is changing women all around the globe, for better and worse.
The birth control pill (also called "The Pill") is a daily pill that contains sex hormones. Many women go on the pill for pregnancy prevention without knowing what else it can do to their body. For a long time it has been ignored and gone unstudied.
Research has proven the pill impacts a whole lot of cells at once, many of which are in the brain. This influences attraction, sexual motivation, hunger, eating patterns, emotion regulation, and friendships. It also alters your stress response and affects your choice of mate selection.
Furthermore, hormonal birth control is highly linked to depression and suicides.
Being on the pill changes who you are. It not only has a big impact on yourself but on all the world around you. If you have access to information, not only can you make wise choices about your health but you can also prevent sad episodes from happening.
