Episode 212

Dr. Sarah McKay joins Something For Everybody this week. Dr Sarah McKay is a neuroscientist who translates brain research into strategies for professionals working in health, education and coaching. She received her PhD from Oxford, but after five years of postdoc research, she hung up her lab coat to set up Think Brain — a science communications business that bridges the gap between the lab and everyday life. Sarah is the author of The Women’s Brain Book—The Neuroscience of Health, Hormones and Happiness, which explores the female lifespan through the lens of neurobiology. Her second book, Baby Brain—the surprising neuroscience of how pregnancy and motherhood sculpt our brains and change our minds (for the better), was published in 2023. 

In this conversation, Dr. Sarah McKay discusses various topics related to personal well-being, raising boys, the importance of hormones, misconceptions about hormones and women, the reality of ‘baby brain,’ and supporting new mothers.
