0:00.0 | On this episode of The Resetter podcast, have I got a treat for you? |
0:09.0 | This is Dr. Sarah Hill, who is a researcher, a professor, and a lead science advisor, and has |
0:16.5 | really been diving deep into what happens to the female brain and the female body when we go on |
0:26.1 | to birth control. So what's really interesting here is so many of you are in your parian postmenopausal |
0:35.0 | years. So it would be easy to think of birth control as a thing of the |
0:39.7 | past. But why I wanted to bring Sarah to you was because when we are on the birth control pill |
0:47.2 | for years, sometimes decades, there are actually not only lasting changes to our body, but there can be lasting changes and |

1:53.3 | sexual identity, sexual preference. All of that is in the back half of the conversation. |
2:00.1 | This is one, if you're a menopausal woman, |
2:03.3 | you're going to want to really think about if you were on birth control for many years, |
2:07.7 | but also if you have daughters or granddaughters that are navigating their choice of |
2:14.0 | birth control, I highly recommend you send this to them because there is so much more to |
