Hacking the Female Brain w/ Dr. Louann Brizendine
This week we called in icon, legend and neuropsychiatrist Dr. Louann Brizendine to help us understand why we do the things we do: How a woman remembers fights that a man insists never happened Why thoughts about sex actually enter a woman's mind less often than they enter a man's Why women use more forms of communication per day than men How a woman over fifty is more likely to initiate divorce than a man Dr. Brizendine was among the first to explain why women think, communicate, and feel differently than men. She wrote the book The Female Brain (which was later turned into a movie starring Whitney Cummings) which absolutely changed my life and everyone's who read it. It was revolutionary and was the first time someone actually studied the fundamental ways in which women's brains and hormones are so different from men's. Her book is snarky, sassy and easy to understand but your mind will be absolutely blown. She explained: Orgasms and Antidepressants The differences between the male and female brain and how they can cause misunderstandings or tension Our moods and our cycle and how we can and should build our life around it Why we should actually be excited for menopause…? Yes, you read that last sentence correctly…I was shocked too. Dr.Brizendine's new book The Upgrade focuses on why post-menopausal life is actually much better than our youth. She details how to hack menopause and why it isn't the end of our life but rather the beginning… Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!
