There’s no denying that birth control has given women greater freedom and control over their fertility. However, many young girls and women have been on birth control for decades without fully understanding the long-term effects of hormone-altering medication. Today’s guest shares her research on birth control and provides key insights into its potential impact on long-term health and wellness.

She is currently a researcher and professor at TCU, the lead research advisor at 28, and a recognized thought leader in women’s hormones and sexual psychology. Her groundbreaking research has led to nearly 100 research publications. She is also the author of This Is Your Brain on Birth Control, which sheds critical new light on the psychological impact of women’s sex hormones and the birth control pill. Her upcoming book, The Period Brain, is set for release in September.
