A groundbreaking book that reveals the crucial information every woman needs to know about hormonal birth control
This eye-opening book reveals crucial information every woman on hormonal birth control should know. It explores how the birth control pill has transformed women's lives by enabling them to control their fertility, leading to increased participation in education and the workforce. However, the pill's effects extend beyond pregnancy prevention and clearer skin. Sex hormones influence billions of cells, particularly in the brain, affecting attraction, sexual motivation, stress, hunger, emotion regulation, and mood. Consequently, women on the pill may experience a different version of themselves compared to when they are off it. For instance, the pill dampens cortisol spikes in response to stress, which can negatively impact learning, memory, and mood. Additionally, it may alter attraction patterns, influencing partner choices and relationships post-pill. These changes can have both positive and negative implications. The book emphasizes that the pill's effects reach beyond individual experiences, impacting society as a whole. It offers a science-based understanding of women's identities on and off the pill, encouraging women to seek more information about their bodies and advocate for better research. Ultimately, it empowers women to make informed health decisions, regardless of their contraceptive choices.
Hormonal birth control is taken by millions of women around the world every day. Yet until recently we knew very little about how the Pill affects the non-reproductive systems of the female body, because research on these other systems was conducted almost exclusively on men. In her trailblazing book, Dr Sarah Hill uses the latest science to reveal how the Pill is changing women and the world, for better and worse. She puts the power back in your hands to make smarter, more informed choices about your health and your hormones.
