By allowing women to control their fertility, the birth control pill has revolutionized womens lives. Women are going to college, graduating, and entering the workforce in greater numbers than ever before, and theres good reason to believe that the birth control pill has a lot to do with this. But theres a lot more to the pill than meets the eye.Although women go on the pill for a small handful of targeted effects (pregnancy prevention and clearer skin, yay!), sex hormones cant work that way. Sex hormones impact the activities of billions of cells in the body at once, many of which are in the brain. There, they play a role in influencing attraction, sexual motivation, stress, hunger, eating patterns, emotion regulation, friendships, aggression, mood, learning, and more. This means that being on the birth control pill makes women a different version of themselves than when they are off of it. And this is a big deal. For instance, women on the pill have a dampened cortisol spike in response to stress. While this might sound great (no stress!), it can have negative implications for learning, memory, and mood. Additionally, because the pill influences who women are attracted to, being on the pill may inadvertently influence who women choose as partners, which can have important implications for their relationships once they go off it. Sometimes these changes are for the better . . . but other times, theyre for the worse. By changing what womens brains do, the pill also has the ability to have cascading effects on everything and everyone that a woman encounters. This means that the reach of the pill extends far beyond womens own bodies, having a major impact on society and the world.This paradigm-shattering book provides an even-handed, science-based understanding of who women are, both on and off the pill. It will change the way that women think about their hormones and how they view themselves. It also serves as a rallying cry for women to demand more information from science about how their bodies and brains work and to advocate for better research. This book will help women make more informed decisions about their health, whether theyre on the pill or off of it....9780525536048_Penguin Publishing Grouplibro_electonico_9f39722c-cd7e-3897-9d32-8a2819d71346_9780525536048;9780525536048_9780525536048Sarah HillInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/PenguinUS-epub-9ffa9ef7-0b3a-43ed-b99b-374632a6d266.epub2019-10-01T00:00:00+00:00Penguin Publishing Group
