Show Notes

Everyone has hormones. But for some reason only one gender is seen as the "hormonal" one. How can we reclaim this term? And how can we explore the powers of our hormones—not just the burdens?

For more we're joined now by Martie Haselton, the author of "Hormonal: The Hidden Intelligence of Hormones." She's also a professor of psychology at UCLA. Her book makes the argument that the more we know about our hormones, the more we can harness their evolutionary intelligence to aid our modern day lives.
