What Women Aren't Told: Cycles and The Pill w/Dr Sarah Hill | E271 Lila Rose Show

Why do some women feel tired, cranky, or just off for up to two weeks every month, and what is the solution? Also, the data is out about the birth control pill, and it's startling.

In this episode, evolutionary psychologist Dr. Sarah Hill breaks down the two major phases of the menstrual cycle and how wildly different our energy, sleep, cravings, and social needs can be between them. And here’s the big takeaway: once women understand these shifts, small daily changes can massively improve mood, energy, and even support fertility.

It’s time to stop treating women’s bodies like men’s or flattening hormones with the pill. Instead, we should use the power of cyclical biology to our advantage. This emerging science is about to revolutionize women’s health and the way we understand women altogether.
