Dr. Sarah McKay on Nature, Nurture & Neuroplasticity
This week we re-released our most downloaded episode of 2020! Host Elizabeth Cush interviews Dr. Sarah McKay, neuroscientist and author of The Women’s Brain Book: The Neuroscience of Health, Hormones and Happiness.
“A lot of us grow up with this story that we’re on this roller coaster of hormones that we can’t really get off and they control our emotional life.”
Show Notes:
Why do so many women seem to lack the self-confidence that appears to come so easily to most men? Are our brains really wired differently? Neuroscience—the study of the brain and its relationship to how we think, feel and behave—is examining those kinds of questions. In this episode of the Woman Worriers podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., talks with neuroscientist and author Dr. Sarah McKay about some of the insights that neuroscientists are gaining into the brain and gender, the influence of hormones on premenstrual syndrome and perimenopause, and the debate on “nature” versus “nurture,” and explore how neuroplasticity allows us to create new pathways in our brain and in our lives.
