Episode 5: Cuddles for Prescription to Connect

Ever heard of a professional cuddler? There may be something to this! Snuggle in with Dr. Cat and Di as they talk cuddle puddles, bonding, and oxytocin. Learn how you can naturally lift your oxytocin levels for increased intimacy. What is oxytocin and how does it relate to our sex and love life? How we are using pharmaceuticals to solve intimacy and sex issues instead of natural intimacy building exercises. What are natural ways to increase oxytocin and as a result our intimacy? In a future episode, we are going to dive DEEPER into this topic with gut microbiome specialist, Kiran Krishnan (AGAIN) on the importance of gut health, specifically OXYTOCIN, the love/connection/intimacy/cuddle hormone that boosts orgasms, desire for sex, satisfaction both in the bedroom and in life, as well as faithfulness. The Episode will be called: Oxytocin the missing hormone for love and love making.  If your goal is to win a good partner, enjoy them and KEEP them, perhaps it's not YOU, it's their gut microbiome…and lack of oxytocin.  SO MUCH to cover so stay tuned and be sure to SUBSCRIBE to our newsletter and our channel on itunes to be notified when we come out with these important sexy episodes.  🙂 A MUST KNOW FACT On Oxytocin DID YOU KNOW Oxytocin, the LOVE hormone, is released at it's highest level during labor (in women) and an orgasm*?  For men, interestingly, it is ONLY released when you have an orgasm with someone you love. If you're LOW on Oxytocin, you might also experience low desire for connection, fear of intimacy, difficulty orgasming, vaginal dryness, irrational anxiety, excessive sugar cravings, disturbed sleep and depression to name a few. ARE YOU LOW ON O?  (OXYTOCIN) There are a number of symptoms for oxytocin deficiency, including: Poor communication, An element of irritability and inability to feel affectionate, More anxieties and fears than normal, Sexual interactions are more mechanical and fulfill a basic need, Difficulty achieving orgasm, Bigger appetite for sugar-rich foods, Feeling little joy from life, Disturbed sleep, or Muscles aches. Do any (or almost all) of these sound familiar?  It sounds like the Average American's top health/life complaints today! Yikes! It also helps reduce fat belly storing, energy draining cortisol levels (you know that NO STRESS feeling of relaxation you get after sex) and it reduces inflammation of the vagus nerve, which, no big deal…it only controls blood flow and is the main source of information transformation throughout the WHOLE body.  (note sarcasm) *there IS such thing as Orgasm Induced Labor if you want to get REAL high and bring your baby into the world with extra doses of this powerful hormone!
