84 - Jump on the Love Train!

Love is in the air my friends! Happy Valentines Day for those of my listeners who celebrate it. As I was considering what to share with you on this week, I started thinking about how our brain creates & responds to the feeling of “love.” It got me thinking about my own whirlwind romance to my now husband. And finally, it got me thinking about how this time can be difficult for those that may not currently be in a relationship. Like so many things that our brain does, there is a primitive and developed brain aspect to love. The primitive brain often feeds the feelings of love between two people in order to ensure survival and satisfy it’s need for social connection. Those connections that our primitive brain forms with others are pivotal to creating and releasing vital hormones that increase our health and wellbeing while also lowering stress. Something that gets overlooked in society though is that while romantic love can trigger many of these beneficial hormones, platonic love or child/parent love can also attain many of the same physiological benefits of romantic love. There are also other things that can trigger the same parts of your brain and flood your body with these wellness and stress relief hormones. So, as you consider your relationships this week, I truly hope this episode helps you examine all the love in your life and how much benefit it brings to you. I am SO excited to talk about this with you today! Come join the love train on today's episode: The physiological functions & benefits of love in your brain.
