from Chasing Life · host CNN Podcasts

Becoming a dad can change your life overnight. But it may also be changing your brain in ways you don’t even realize. Sanjay sits down with USC psychologist Dr. Darby Saxbe, author of Dad Brain: The New Science of Fatherhood and How It Shapes Men’s Lives to explore how becoming a father impacts men’s brains, hormones, and body... and what those changes can mean for mental health and longevity.  Our show was produced by Jennifer Lai.   Video Editor: Ross Helman with support by Jasmine Brooks. Medical Writer: Andrea Kane Senior Producer: Dan Bloom Technical Director: Dan Dzula Learn more about your ad choices.
