Episode 10-Oxytocin: The Love Hormone

from Blunt But Brilliant · host Nikki Ivers and Tary Varnum

Oxytocin is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland that makes us feel connected to others. Interestingly, it also can make us feel more empathetic and plays a role in fidelity. In this episode, we reference many different studies that show how oxytocin seems to help us stay monogamous in our relationships, improve mental health, combat addictions and feel connected to our loved ones. We'll tell you what you need to do in order for your body to produce this "love hormone" so that we can all live longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives.Tary's favorite item of the week:https://theherocompany.co/?srsltid=AfmBOopf_ODqqGO1NItgtFxZc6zOCLG2xyAlw7yFWLL-VxynApemYF8Z&zCountry=USNikki's favorite item of the week:https://www.amazon.com/CeraVe-Repair-Cream-Circles-Puffiness/dp/B00JJPMXDO/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3R81Q2BPCBSCX&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.nT1G4mXP8ASLSRmgdKpv-qiE-mi-RqlAautLySQ5_q_nObFjvv2gOGqMfYpP_mk_NC4LG9bvLugAlLNIEw3ERspUzMZxEwqs1IlzlyW9A5sI_kmjSQd5ThSzfx8Vy-wAz7XKYTbk8DPXC5GbywN6iRoZMiiUxUcHQT_BLKvom7LIdGwJeUw2cIebXSj652PMYmtnd7EQSDGRScZvzxq6oOf6ccW6MEWVxn6UvLCXnhKzeFIeAiwyvAHVY0LPIixz46aXmmPwkYe8T5qH9ix6qHIW1HWPsmbMs7l0V80ZzKE.ct_f4VdEWm--BgU6JO-RF5pJb40x0hiEYEY27peqS3I&dib_tag=se&keywords=cerave+eye+repair+cream&qid=1762212875&sprefix=cerave+eye%2Caps%2C177&sr=8-1
