Oestrogen Expert: Birth Control Changes Who You Are...Would You Still Love Them If You Came Off It?! Oestrogen Makes You More Attractive!

In this episode, Dr. Sarah Hill, a research psychologist and professor, explains the significant implications of hormonal birth control on women's lives. Hill reveals research indicating that while the birth control pill has provided women with unprecedented independence, it also carries risks that are often overlooked. Notably, when women stop using hormonal birth control, their sexual attraction to their partners can change based on the perceived attractiveness of those partners. Hill outlines various negative effects of the pill on mental health, including increased anxiety, depression, and diminished sexual desire, which can impact relationships. She advocates for better education around birth control options to empower women to make informed decisions about their bodies and relationships. As she addresses the societal implications, Hill emphasizes that understanding women's health is crucial for improving interactions and relationships between men and women.
