About this listen

Hormones, hype, and how the pill really works.

The birth control pill is one of the most studied- and most misunderstood- drugs in modern medicine. In this episode, we unpack what it actually does to your body, mood, and menstrual cycle, while also tracing its roots as a revolutionary tool in the fight for reproductive freedom. Whether you’ve been on it for years, just started, or are pill-curious, we're cutting through the noise to explore the science and the cultural impact of the pill with nuance, evidence, and zero judgment.
