Let's talk about hormones. Hormones are so much more than time packages that influence the major events in our lives. We are still learning about some of these major events though in ourselves and other animals. Just a few months again scientists confirmed that chimpanzees go through menopause Here is the NY Times article about the discovery. I was also keen to see the study on chimpanzees since it was research conducted in Kibale National Park in Uganda. Now I want to know if mountain gorillas go through menopause, I have been to Kibale many times and have followed research by John Mitani, David Watts, and Richard Wrangham for quite a long time. Here is a link to the original research article. In this episode I mention a video I made with a friend and colleague called “Rejecting the Biological Binary". You can check that out here on my Youtube channel Wild Connection TV This week's guest is Randi Hutter Epstein, MD. Shes a writer in residence at Yale School of Medicine and teaches both at Yale University and Columbia's School of Journalism. Today, she is filling us in on all the weird and wonderful things that hormones control by talking about her book Aroused: The History of Hormones and How They Control Just About Everything.

A guided tour through the strange science of hormones and the age-old quest to control them. Metabolism, behavior, sleep, mood swings, the immune system, fighting, fleeing, puberty, and sex: these are just a few of the things our bodies control with hormones. Armed with a healthy dose of wit and curiosity, medical journalist Randi Hutter Epstein takes us on a journey through the unusual history of these potent chemicals from a basement filled with jarred nineteenth-century brains to a twenty-first-century hormone clinic in Los Angeles. Brimming with fascinating anecdotes, illuminating new medical research, and humorous details, Aroused introduces the leading scientists who made life-changing discoveries about the hormone imbalances that ail us, as well as the charlatans who used those discoveries to peddle false remedies. Epstein exposes the humanity at the heart of hormone science with her rich cast of characters, including a 1920s doctor promoting vasectomies as a way to boost libido, a female medical student who discovered a pregnancy hormone in the 1940s, and a mother who collected pituitaries, a brain gland, from cadavers as a source of growth hormone to treat her son. Along the way, Epstein explores the functions of hormones such as leptin, oxytocin, estrogen, and testosterone, demystifying the science of endocrinology. A fascinating look at the history and science of some of medicine’s most important discoveries, Aroused reveals the shocking history of hormones through the back rooms, basements, and labs where endocrinology began.

Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, oh my! This week we're getting hormonal with my good friend, Randi Hutter Epstein, author of the new book: "Aroused: The History of Hormones and How They Control Just About Everything" — which, by the way, includes our finances. We talk birth control, emotions, money, and shopping for medical care. In Mailbag, selling stocks, protecting your newborn's identity and HELOCs.
Doctor Randi Hutter Epstein likes to compare human hormones to the internet. And if you think about it, it makes sense. The brain sends messages to the testes in the same way that someone in Paris can send an email to someone in Tokyo. There’s no apparent infrastructure that connects the senders and receivers. Just a message floating out there, knowing what its target is. But it took a very long time before we had this kind of basic understanding of hormones. And, even today, most people doesn’t understand the power of these chemicals. We talk to Epstein, author of, “Aroused: The History of Hormones and How They Control Just About Everything,” about how we came to understand the endocrine system.

During the summer between 8th and 9th grade, I watched my classmate Jeff go from about 125 lbs to 180 lbs in six weeks. This scrawny, video game nerd turned into a force to be reckoned with through a combination of hard gym workouts and anabolic steroids he bought from his older brother. I'm not sure if you've ever seen a transformation like this firsthand, but it's not something you easily forget. Enter hormones. They can make you skinny or make you fat. They can give you hot flashes, make you tired, or make you feel young and vital. Your ‘chemical body' is responsible for how you look and feel most of the time, and yet it's often out of whack. Hormonal imbalance used to be rare and mostly found in older people, but these days you can find kids with massive hormone imbalances at any school around the world. So what do we do? ------------ Listen & Learn: How hormones can impact just about everything Why birth control pills, food, stress, age, and environment can all affect our chemical body How hormone theory is only a century old How hormone research is still new and developing ABOUT OUR GUEST Randi Hutter Epstein is a medical writer, author, and journalist. She has written for publications including The New York Times and The Washington Post. She is also a lecturer at Yale University and an adjunct professor at Columbia University School of Journalism.

Kathryn interviews Yale lecturer and medical writer Randi Hutter Epstein MD, author of “Aroused: The History of Hormones and How They Control Just About Everything”. Dr. Epstein takes us on a fascinating tour of the unique history and science behind one of medicine's most important discoveries — hormones — and our quest to control them. Dr. Epstein's expertise is featured in the Washington Post, the NYTimes, the Guardian and on ABC News. Kathryn also interviews mother and activist Eliza Factor, author of “Strange Beauty: A Portrait of My Son”. This intimate, no-holds barred memoir is the story of two little girls growing up in the shadow of their charming and fitful brother and of a mother imagining the world through the eyes of her son born with multiple disabilities, including cerebral palsy and autism. Eliza describes her pregnancy and the first few blissful months with Felix before the awareness that their son's life, and their own, will not be at all like she had imagined.

Please join Randi on the launch date of her latest book, Aroused, which takes us on a guided tour through the intellectually arousing history and science of hormones. Randi's prior book Get Me Out: A History of Childbirth from the Garden of Eden to the Sperm Bank won high praise including being called by NPR a ''delightful-and sometimes disturbing'' romp through the history, fads, and science behind making and having babies. Randi earned her MD from Yale University, and MS and an MPH from Columbia University and an undergraduate degree, focusing in the history and sociology of science, from the University of Pennsylvania. Her articles have been published in the New York Times, among other national publications. She lives in New York City. Watch the video here. (recorded 6/26/2018)
