This is Your Brain on Hormones
Jun 3000:39:43Tap to summarizePodcast: Radiolab (LS 85 · TOP 0.01% what is this?)Episode: This is Your Brain on HormonesPub date: 2026-06-19Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationAfter reading something that said her menstrual cycle changes her brain each month, Senior Correspondent Molly Webster goes on a reporting mission to see if that’s true, and, if so, how. This journey into sex hormones and the brain involves females and males, and exacting self-experimentation. It gets into PTSD, and ends with a new twist on self-care (hint: it’s biological). And, it starts to reveal a sneaky truth: that each one of us is at the mercy of a crashing sea of chemicals inside of us – those things we call hormones. Special thanks to Emily Jacobs, Laura Pritschet, Pavel Shapturenka, and Dr. Catherine Woolley.EPISODE CREDITS: Hosted by - Molly Webster Reported by - Molly Webster Produced by - Mona Madgavkar with help from - Molly Webster Fact-checking by - Diane A.
