People need to watch this video… I had the amazing chance to sit in and listen to a lecture by a renowned endocrinologist, 25 years ago, when I was an undergraduate student. I remember his words to this day: “I do not understand why fertility is being regarded as a disease that medication needs to be given for. Messing with hormones is never a good idea. Women are being given a medication for something that is natural in their bodies”.

A couple days later, and she looked back and couldn't believe how crazy she had been acting.

Kind of had the same experience (except my wife went right back on the pill but we’re getting ready to have another child so she’ll be getting off the pill shortly and we’ll see the effects). When my wife was pregnant… and this was when COVID was revving up (so they didn’t let me go to some of the initial doctor’s appointments and such) and we went throw a derecho (which to overly simplify is hurricane winds but nowhere near the coast) and our power was out in the middle of an extremely hot summer for 7 days when she was 7 months pregnant… she was an absolute f’n’ all-star. She was positive the whole way through, no complaining. Even had the option to stay at other people’s houses in other nearby-ish places that had power back already and she chose to stay home with me and the dog. Before that she kind of had OCD and a little negative at times. Since then (not saying child birth had nothing to do with it) has massive OCD, negative the majority of the time, pretty short fuse and so on and so forth. Especially seeing all the research (and our first hand experience) it’d be no surprise if the pill didn’t have some to most of the blame for it.

This made me cry at the end. I can't believe how much information we aren't aware of when it comes to hormones and birth control. We think and were led to believe that birth control was the answer to all of our problems. Thank you for putting this information out there!

It disgusts me that birth control is usually pushed on girls as young as 12 or 13. Luckily I never got on it during my teen years. And all of my female peers who were on hormonal bc complained of side effects such as weight gain and bad acne. I did end up trying it at one point when I was about 22 years old for all of 10 days. Almost immediately I started to feel depressed and su1cidal and just very mentally unstable. It took several weeks after stopping the drugs to even feel like my normal self again. The doctors brushed it off like it was no big deal and nonchalantly suggested I try a different kind of bc. No regard for the fact that I have a history of serious mental illness & su1cidal thoughts and that messing with my hormones severely exasperated this to a point I was a danger to myself. They didn't even bat an eye, just suggested I experiment on myself like some lab rat. Doctors also always tell women who are experiencing any irregularities with their cycles or having pms that birth control is the best solution. What a weird way to address hormonal imbalances. They never try to find the root cause, just want to prescribe this or that medication which typucally come with unwanted side effects. And they still wonder why people these days are so distrusting of doctors

Like so many other girls, my friends and girls I knew in school were on the pill for “acne control”. Doctors sell it to us for that reason. My friends were afraid to get off of the pill because they were worried they would get a big acne breakout if they did. My 40 year old cousin is still on it even though her husband had a vasectomy because she admits she’s dependent on it and is afraid of what might happen if she gets off. I’ve never been on because my mom refused and didn’t want anything messing with my hormones. I’m so grateful to her!

Anecdotally, as someone who did not notice any discomfort whilst on the pill, no symptoms or anything; when I got off them my period disappeared for 9 months... I couldn't believe how much clearer everything was, it was almost like my vision cleared or like I'd been seeing in black and white somehow. It lifted a kind of depressive fog I didn't know was there, and then finally, as I'd met my now-husband whilst off the pill--- got on the pill for 8 years-- and then when I was off of it, I realized that I could "smell him" again! I know it's a pheremone thing, but it's also a scent that had been taken away from me I'd forgotten was there. I'll never ever go back, and if there are any young men out there who are considering biting the bullet to be with a girl, if you can sacrifice your own sensitivity by wrapping up for her instead of chemically altering her brain; trust me when I say it's a game changer for her (and ultimate *your* lives).

The birth control is the reason why a lot of young women look like they've had at least 3 children when they have never even been pregnant. They're secondary s€xual characteristics are so overgrown while on these birth controls. That's why they struggle to lose weight on the most basic lean diet. And by the time they have children and reach the age of 35 or 40, they're even more overgrown and waddling like a senior citizen.

I love these interviews. I'm a young mother raising 3 kids. My husband and I both have rather problematic mothers (mine is way worse). My mother was viciously intelligent, a Nuclear Physicist for the Naval Nuclear Power Corps, but she had severe mental health issues and has serious psychotic episodes. I want to be a great mother and I'm trying to work through everything I went through as a child. I've found most therapy unhelpful, focused on blame and emotions, but Dr. Peterson has a way of explaining and giving actionable steps.

It was clear that Dr. Peterson wished to raise this idea at several points but that he held himself back, perhaps out of fear of offending his guest. Understandably, it would be near impossible to even discuss this concept without being subject to ridicule nowadays… but it is, and always will be, the most simple, risk-free solution.

What's strange to me is that when she described what hormonal birth control does, she said that it basically imitates the hormonal state a woman is in when her body is in a post-ovulation limbo waiting to determine whether she's pregnant. That immediately raises the question, "If hormonal birth control badly imitates a natural, recurring hormonal state, why not use the natural hormonal state rather than artificially induce it using birth control?" The answer to that would probably be something like, "Because that hormonal state lowers my libido." But that just raises another question -- namely, "If you know that the natural state that hormonal birth control imitates lowers your libido, why would you think that the bad imitation wouldn't?"

It has really made me jaded towards people who talk as though it is inevitable, as if people should be alcoholics or nymphos or drug addicts.

I got off birth control at 26 after being on it for a very long time. I had various health issues that doctors prescribed it for. (It never helped those issues). There were a myriad of reasons for my divorce, but I do wonder if birth control had contributed to keeping me sedate in a terrible situation with a man who was very dysfunctional in his masculine roles. (That was not the reason I left. I didn’t even realize I was missing that until later). When I got remarried, I wasn’t on birth control. Off of birth control, I chose a very masculine man with healthy function in all those areas. When I got back on birth control briefly a month into our marriage, I’ve never felt less connected to my husband. When I got off it, all of that attraction and connection came back. I’d never thought of the connection that way before, but wow. Insidious.

I was prescribed birth control as a teenager. The nurse told me, “oh, you are going to love it. It will clear your skin, ease your period, so great to have.” It took me quite a while to realize that my personality changes, depression and nausea were from birth control. I think many, many girls are being told that birth control is a cost free fix. I had one doctor tell me, “there is no medical reason that any woman should have to have a period”. If you need birth control, maybe it’s worth it’s risks and downsides. But let’s not treat it as the risk free choice.

Then for my first prescription I was only given one month of pill for the first prescription to make sure I had no side effects. A lot of doctors just don’t do that in the US I guess.

Yes I totally agree- I wanted to listen to Dr.Hills train of thought and he kept cutting her off! Jordan Peterson is great but I felt defensive for Hills during this interview, thinking "let her talk!"

Really happy that this is now being discussed. My body and brain never got on well with synthetic hormones and I started the pill at 16. Since having my daughter, doctors kept trying to get me to take the pill again and I have refused. It severely impacted my cognitive functioning, my sleep, my attention. For me, it wasn't worth it. It took me years to realise it was the pill making me feel bad.

We don't discuss enough the relentless pressure to go on birth control immediately postpartum. The last thing women need during the most hormonally chaotic period of our lives is to throw another synthetic hormone into the mix!

Yes! I have a 9 month old and doctors have pushed bc on me too. I will honestly never go back on it and have decided to use natural family planning techniques and a diaphragm instead. I realize the chance of accidentally getting pregnant is higher, however I also think it’s about knowing/learning your body (signs of ovulation). In which doctors never seem to teach people.

Fascinating discussion from both. I love her in every interview I've seen, and have learned something new from her each time. She's just so casually engaged and well-informed about biology that no one else really seems directly involved in studying.

This interview was extremely compelling all the way up to the final statement. Thank you for a very enjoyable event.

When you do a quick google search about the short and long term effects or birth control on women, everything talks about the effectiveness of birth control! This was an infuriating realization! I had to DIG DEEP to find any good info on this topic, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH to people like you 2. Thank you for studying this and sharing it with the rest of us! You are the feminist we need. Also, Jordan, it's crazy that so many people paint you as a misogynist. If you actually listen, you very obviously care for both men and women. Thank you for all you do!

I couldn't agree more... @JP I loved the attitude of learning displayed in this convo, though atimes I wished you allowed the guest Dr. Sarah dropped the words asper finished her thoughts, as I felt like a man in a competitive learning classroom; Thankfully I still got the 'aha' moments. Big thumbs up for discussing and sharing this talk. As a young man, I heard & followed the message of abstinence; I'll be preaching abstinence my lifetime. Nature is Wisdom not foolish, we require time to unfold it's vastness. Thank you Daily Wire.

Now Jordan looks much better, healthier, more handsome. Nice to see it. I hope his health is going to improve even more.

I think one of the best podcasts you've done. And I could see you were incredibly engaged the entire way through. Dr. Sarah Hill, you've got a new fan. Thanks guys!

This could be the begining of a change on this little issue. I've learned a lot, i admire your courage and thank you for sharing Dr. Hill.

Feels like a (free) college course! I follow each and every one of Jordan's interviews because of this. I am getting smarter by the week because of these. I so wish I had had this opportunity when I was a young man. Oh well, it is what it is. To all young men out there, my suggestion is to hop on Jordan's train and take a journey of learning. Godspeed.

Fascinating, enlightening...& heart-breaking. I was put on hormonal birth control for acne when I was 13... came off it in my late 30s ... I feel so betrayed & naive. So much about the trauma response portion really hit me hard...makes a lot of sense. And very sad too. But praying God miraculously heals & reverses any/all damage in my body & mind from the decades on the pill. Thank you so much for this powerful & important discussion!!

Thanks for your comment, I wish you well on your journey of recovery. If you don't mind, I'd really hope to know what your experience was dealing with acne without hormonal BC. I have a friend I'd love to help get off BC, but is resistant because its the only thing that has helped with her acne. Seemingly doesn't consider deeper hormonal imbalances and factors that she could seek to improve instead. As someone invested deeply into a holistic health view, I'd really like to know more approachable action steps that could at least mitigate acne for women coming off BC, do you have any suggestions that could work?

@johnhauge5921 my acne came right back after coming off the pill but I found natural methods to get my natural hormones back in balance: a workout program called Metabolic Renewal that is designed to balance hormones with the added benefit of improving strength & fitness built upon the foundation of hormonal harmony. I also found a more natural supplement called Acne Clear + a high quality probiotic I take daily. Additionally, I do medical-grade red light therapy for my skin overall, with blue light being particularly effective for acne (there are in-home LED devices available, I use Platinum LED brand.) And hitting the IR sauna for 30-60 mins twice per week has been very beneficial as well. I hope your friend can find encouragement in any combination of these options that have helped me - I empathize greatly with the stress of adult acne.

That was an absolutely fascinating, spirited and dynamic interview

Top 3 JP interviews for me. Sarah is a brilliant woman. And she has made me raise my concern for something I never questioned properly before. You can’t really overstate the gravity of what is being discussed here…… Thank you! Will be rewatching and doing a lot of reading as a result of this to make sure I can help my future children (possibly daughters) and the daughters of others. Make informed sensible choices. ❤ to all x

What a well spoken woman this is! It is interestingly kind of relaxing to watch JP being successfully contradicted for once 😅 And he takes it very well, as expected, because he is a real scientist himself. Many thanks to both of you for letting me be part of that very enlightening conversation. Warm greetings from 🇨🇭

Dr. Hill was my favorite guest on this podcast thus far, and one of my favorite guests on ANY podcast. Awesome episode, will be recommending this to many.

Thank you for bringing light to this subject!

This video is so important. The fundamental differences between men, women, women on and off the pill AND what that does to male behavior/ interest. All of this just hiding in plain sight. Insane.

I only started seeing the impact of birth control on me a year before I got off the pill. I was on the pill for 3 years and I had gained 10kg, had severe acne breakouts and just exhausted all the time. I even had a low libido. But now that I am off it for about 1 months, I am always ready for my husband and I to do the deed, I long for him constantly and he is super happy 😃. Even my moods have changed, I am happier and I feel like I am slowly losing weight.

I learned so much from this. As a grandmother, I feel this is useful in helping other female family members better navigate this subject. Thank you both.

This was brilliant, one of the best interview I've seen. Will certainly watch more of this lady, nice boots btw

I haven't gotten through this whole interview yet but it always touches deeply so far. My mom put me on BC when I was 12 or 13. Looking at it now I can't believe that people are ok with this. When I came off it the first time I left my ex, realizing that I always had that voice in the back of my mind telling me he wasn't right for me. I met my husband and we had our daughter and I tried to go back on it after being BC free for over 2 years. That was one of the most awful experiences of my life and I quickly got back off it. In hindsight I realize it was probably a huge driver for the anxiety and depression I struggled with as a teen and young adult. I'm so glad to be free from that prison. My goal in life is for my daughter to have a better experience than me in that regard. I obviously made my own choices, but I want to give her that chance to make those choices as a teen and young adult free from the haze of pharmaceuticals. Thank you JP for doing what you do and always finding amazing and insightful people to speak with.

This woman is a gem. Saw her before on a podcast that focused more on the scientific mechanisms of her work which was great. Now i get to see her talk with a much more philosophical tilt due to peterson’s core interests as an interviewer.

Watched this with my daughter. Really appreciate this in depth discussion. Its really a must see for our young daughters and sons too.

Wow .... that was incredible . They listened to each other and were inspired to take it further for each other . Dr Sarah Hill is amazing and it was great to see JP's mind at work without confines ... to help us through it . A few hours of true brilliance .

I could never put my finger on it, but in high school I would always get a feeling when a girl was on the pill. Not even girls I was into, just friends and classmates. It completely changed them.

Omg I learned so much I didn't know. I look at my life and see how bc has impacted me. I've been on it since 15. Depression, suicidal thoughts., lack of sexual drive, weight, stress adaptability. No desire to have children on and on. Bc may not be the only reasons but based on the change I experienced during the one year I got off of bc I can now understand how possible the hormones effecting me are. I am furious that I was not educated about this when I got on them. I didn't even know to look into it or where to look. This info just blows me away.

I love the smiles she gives him when he goes off on his trail of thought. Taking it all in, trying to synthesise their ideas on the fly.

Fantastic talk, excellent guest. thank you both!

Fascinating. I went off the pill when I read that it changes your way of thinking. Have then suffered with severe PMS and migraines every since. Now 51 patiently waiting for menopause... Great talk! Women should be taught this in school!!

This was an outstanding interview and conversation. Dr. Hill and JP should start a series.

This is one of the most interesting conversations I’ve listened to on youtube👏🏼

This answers so many questions that i never had before listening to this conversation. Truely moving and informative.

My significant other has been on birth control for almost 10 years and has recently stopped taking it, so this topic was of particular interest. Also if by any chance you Jordan are reading this I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wisdom, knowledge and example you have brought to countless people across the globe all these years.

One of the potentially huge problems with being in a relationship with someone on hormonal birth control the whole time youve been seeing each other is that some of them find completely different men attractive after they stop taking it, n to some its on a subconscious level like the smell of your pheromones

@user-hy2qo6lj2q

I think one of the things that is not talked about enough but should be bloody obvious, is how one major consequence of going off birth control is pregnancy and then having a child/children to raise. Even just the prospect if becoming pregnant could cause a shift in mindset in the woman. Raising an infant is a massive investment and puts her in a very vulnerable position, emotionally, physically and financially. This also has a massive impact on the way a woman will perceive their partner and on their relationship dynamic. Part of it is hormonally driven but the other thing is that the stakes have just become raised to an extreme very suddenly. Things that would not have bothered her before will suddenly become so important. The level of support and maturity she will expect from you will be so much higher than before. Sexual opportunity as well as desire may also drop between you due to the hormones, fatigue from all the new demands and building resentment over failing to meet the other's needs. A lot of couples will struggle a lot with these changing roles and expectations.

What an incredible conversation . These two should have more podcasts together

Wow. I didn't want this interview to end! Another two hours would have been fine. Thank you for sharing.

I was on the pill for 10 years. I had long term relationships but I wanted to focus on my career and it was first recommended to me my gynecologist for acne control (at 18 years old). I stopped during COVID because my depression felt mostly physical and even though I was concerned about my acne returning, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I was a vegetarian since I was 15 years old. I feel I did severe damage to my body due to my personal choices. I have no proof but not doubt that the combination was disastrous. My life has dramatically changed. Thanks so much for this conversation. This channel Dr. Peterson has been not only a hope for a never ending pit, it has been life saving. Thank you.

One of the best discussions Ive heard coming out of this channel, Peterson is on the ball but that is to be expected. Dr. Hill was one of the most eloquent speakers Ive heard take questions from him. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

This is easily now within my top 3 favorite all-time conversations I've heard Dr. Peterson have on his KZread channel. Great talk, great topic, amazing amount of material covered, I learned so much, so many levels were explored. I loved that it was in person. That makes communicating so much easier and it's so physically evident. Please, more like this! Talk about those hard questions in-person! We see it.

This is one of the absolute best interviews, love this.

Such important information. Thank you for your time and expertise.

Fantastic conversation. Thank you Jordan and Dr. Hill.

What a fantastically lively conversation. Being face-to-face (in the same room) changes everything! It was a pleasure to listen to this, and learn. Reminds me of the old conversations with Camille Paglia!

Absolutely delightful! Can't believe how briliant they are! Thank you for saving my life every single day Dr. JP and thank you Dr. Hill for literally introducing me to myself. I can't say in words how precious this conversation was!

I was just sharing about this with a friend. sitting in the clinic is also part of the cycle, sorrowful, but greater joy at times then ever before. For one person, "they [hormonal birth control] just make me feel crazy."

This is SO important!! I was prescribed birth control right after I turned 15 years old because I had ovarian cysts. I wasn’t given any other option (and probably wouldn’t have taken it because I was so young and didn’t know any better & trusted my doctor) and I didn’t understand what I was signing up for - other than I wasn’t going to get a period anymore, such seemed like a win win! Fast forward 11 years, I finally got off and I actually feel like myself! Being a woman is so beautiful and I hope this reaches many more women. I genuinely feel free!

I never usually comment on your videos Dr. Peterson, but I just wanted to say that this is the most interesting and the podcast of yours that I have learned the most from. So much of this I am shocked to hear, it makes so much sense yet I can’t believe that I have never been taught it before.

I've listened to virtually every JBP lecture, interview, podcast at least once and this one is a real winner.... riveting.

Thank you both for this discussion! And all the facts.

wow this episode is a marvel, the level of enlightenment of these two is humbling, extremely interesting topic, i am going to have to re watch this quite a good amount of times to fully digest.

I've listened to a lot of JBP's podcasts and this is probably my favourite so far. Interesting, clear and challenging. Great guest.

absolutely eye-opening for someone like me who knows little to nothing about this topic, thank you to both JBP and Dr Sarah Hill for discussing the effects of the birth control pill.

This was mind blowing. Thanks a lot for the knowledge!

What a massively important discussion for parents and their daughters to have. I would not want my daughter to experience all these negative side affects to their development just for acne control. Thanks Dr. Peterson and Dr. Hill for this great talk.

The porn take was dangerous to say the least. Don't go giving ideas to men that porn doesn't cause any damage to your sexuality and overall sex drive; it can work as a complete replacement for actual intimacy, which can lead to a very serious depressive state in the long run. Everyone starts it super young, were talking pre-teens here, and it has the absolute potential of a perfect storm to wreck your whole emotional & sexual progress and life upside down. You can literally make it your partner: You and your cold computer screen, watching another man having the time of his life while you sit at home and "fill your need" by "satisfying" yourself to said act. The reality of the situation is cold on an abyssal level. There's no way in all the nine hells that's good for you.

Spot on except for the idea that the guy on screen is having the time of his life. That simply doesn't represent the industry and average mindset of those who have made that their "career". Lila Rose recently interviewed a former "award winning" male porn star, so you should listen to him talk about the extreme nature and prevalence of depression and brokenness and hopelessness of porn actors and actresses, and how common suicide and suicidal ideation is. They're not enjoying themselves in the way you imagine, granted there is a certain base level of purely biological stimulation going on, obviously, but they're numb and empty and harbor great shame very often, and these encounters for them are so routine and anti-intimate, it's literally "just a job" they feel they can't escape from. There is rampant mental and emotional abuse and manipulation and degradation too, for both the men and women.

I don't know what happened to me but I used to watch porn all the time and even my partner would watch it with me. I got sick, and had to go on various medications.

@@richardsackler7627 yes but, how old we talking? Also when your partner can't measure up to the videos that does really dampen things, as guys are highly visual. It's the overwhelming factor for most, in terms of attraction and arousal, otherwise you may have to force it, which you should do anyway for a variety of reasons. But you can recover from that and it will be enjoyable. Only through Jesus though, otherwise you're screwed.

My biggest regret is getting on birth control when I was 15. I was on it for 12 years and finally got off it because I hated how it made me feel and not feel. I am thankful that it did its job and I never got pregnant, but I can't wrap my head around how much damage it has done to my body/mind.

I didn't know Dr. Sarah Hill but I've become a fan. This was a genuine good faith conversation.

Halfway through Dr Hill's book . Great stuff!

Glad we are touching this topic and the long term effect that birth control hormones has caused on woman’s life and society !

Kudos to Dr Sarah Hill. Excellent interview which she managed expertly.

This was an excellent discussion, thank you both. I went on the pill at 15 and for the most part I was on it until I was 35 when I had my tubal. I had an extreme reaction to my tubal with excessive bleeding and a pretty rough menopause. I wish you had discussed the long term effects, I feel like I never had hormonal balance after I went off the pill, maybe because my body had no idea what a normal hormonal balance was. Much food for thought. Thank you again.

My kids are now 4 (girl) and 2 (boy) and I wish I can remember about this interview when they are teenagers so I can clearly show them how sexuality matters, what drugs do to your brain and body and they can make they decisions. I’m totally buying her book now to use it later.
