Podcasts about Oxytocin

The wound between women is not just interpersonal. It is neurobiological, historical, and deeply rooted in systems that were designed to divide us. In this episode, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof are joined by Dr. Lovey Bradley, Msc.D., NSI certified practitioner, BrainBased facilitator, and facilitator of the NSI BIPOC Affinity Group, whose work sits at the intersection of female hormone health, nervous system regulation, and somatic approaches to trauma. Together, they go deep on one of the most underexplored dimensions of collective healing: the feminine wound, and specifically the racial fracture at its root. Lovey shares her own experience of dissociation in a predominantly white healing space during her NCAI certification, and what that revealed about epigenetic nervous system patterns that have nothing to do with individual will and everything to do with what our bodies have inherited and learned to expect. Jennifer and Elisabeth reflect honestly on their own experiences, including what it takes for white bodied women to pause, stop fixing, and actually listen without collapsing into shame or urgency. The conversation also traces the science behind why relational stress hits the female nervous system so hard, why oxytocin can amplify threat as much as it buffers it when relationships are unsafe, and how chronic cortisol dysregulation suppresses progesterone and drives the health outcomes so many women are navigating. Topic Include: Why the feminine wound cannot be fully healed without naming its racial roots How the nervous system adapts to chronic relational threat in female coded spaces What social baseline theory tells us about why disconnection between women is a physiological load, not just an emotional one How early experiences of exclusion, relational aggression, and peer victimization become nervous system prediction patterns in adulthood Why oxytocin amplifies relational stress when social environments are unsafe How high cortisol suppresses progesterone and drives inflammation, infertility, and hormonal dysregulation What it looks like for white bodied women to stay present without defaulting to shame, urgency, or over-repair Why healing within cultures must precede healing across them What a real path forward looks like, starting at the individual level Chapters 0:00 - Why Racial Trauma Is the Root We Are Not Talking About 1:05 - Welcome: The Feminine Wound Through a Nervous System Lens 3:48 - Introducing Dr. Lovey Bradley and Why This Conversation Matters 7:00 - How the Sister Wound Shows Up in Friendships, Workplaces, and Healing Spaces 10:21 - Dr. Lovey's Personal Story: Dissociating in a Predominantly White Healing Space 17:11 - Social Baseline Theory and the Neurobiology of Relational Disconnection 24:54 - The Historical Root: White Women, Racial Hierarchy, and the Fractured Sisterhood 27:26 - What It Takes for White Bodied Women to Listen Without Collapsing 34:14 - Colorism, Division Within Cultures, and Where Trust Has to Begin 43:08 - Early Developmental Roots: How Relational Threat Shapes the Nervous System 46:52 - Oxytocin, Cortisol, Progesterone, and the Female Hormone Connection 49:56 - A Path Forward: Building Trust One Relationship at a Time Ways to Engage with Neurosomatics: Neurosomatic Intelligence is now enrolling : https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/nsi-certification Join us for a two week trial of neurosomatic practices at rewiretrial.com Free BrainBased neurosomatic workshop for entrepreneurs at rewirecapacity.com Sacred Synapse: an educational YouTube channel founded by Jennifer Wallace that explores nervous system regulation, applied neuroscience, consciousness, and psychedelic preparation and integration through Neurosomatic Intelligence.  Wayfinder Journal: Track nervous system patterns and support preparation and integration through Neurosomatic Intelligence.

Hormone lenken uns im Verborgenen, beeinflussen Körper, Gefühle und Verhalten. Ob natürliche Schwankungen, Erkrankungen oder medizinische Eingriffe: Gerät der Hormonhaushalt ausser Kontrolle, zeigt sich eindrücklich, welche Macht diese Botenstoffe haben und wie tiefgreifend sie unser Leben prägen. Kortisol: Wenn ein einziges Hormon alles durcheinanderbringt Béatrice hatte jahrelang auf den ersten Blick unzusammenhängende Beschwerden: Bluthochdruck, Stimmungseinbrüche, körperliche Veränderungen. Erst als sie aufgrund ihres neu diagnostizierten Diabetes eine Spezialistin aufsucht, wird klar: Eine seltene Krankheit bringt ihren Kortisolhaushalt aus dem Gleichgewicht. Testosteron: Verlockung, Risiko und der Preis der Manipulation Warum greifen so viele Sportler zu künstlichem Testosteron – und um welchen Preis? Der ehemalige Bodybuilder Gabriel bricht das Schweigen und schildert offen, wie schnell der Wunsch nach mehr Muskeln in einen gefährlichen, sogar lebensbedrohlichen Teufelskreis führen kann. Oxytocin: Das gehypte Kuschelhormon und sein therapeutisches Potenzial Oxytocin, auch bekannt als «Liebeshormon», fasziniert die Forschung, denn das Hormon beeinflusst Bindung, Vertrauen und soziale Nähe. Die Wissenschaft zeigt: Die Wirkung von Oxytocin ist vielschichtig. Gibt es sogar therapeutisches Potenzial? Schwangerschaft und künstliche Befruchtung: Ein hormoneller Tsunami Ob natürliche Schwangerschaft oder künstliche Befruchtung, Frauen wie Eponine und Elodie erleben, wie stark Hormone Emotionen, Ängste und das innere Gleichgewicht beeinflussen können. Von irrationalen Sorgen über extreme Stimmungsschwankungen bis hin zur postpartalen Depression: Der hormonelle Sturm kann überwältigend sein.

When energetic debris, stress, and unprocessed emotions accumulate in the body, it can lead to burnout, overthinking, rumination, procrastination, and feeling disconnected from yourself. So often we want to feel rested and calm, but we don't know how to actually give our body that experience of safety.In this episode, I'm sharing a deeply grounding nervous system practice I use to nourish my mind, body, and soul — a ritual I call oxytocin bathing. This practice supports emotional regulation, energy cleansing, and a felt sense of inner safety by combining gentle touch, breath, and intentional movement.Oxytocin bathing is a powerful tool for: • Nervous system healing and regulation • Breaking patterns of overthinking and mental spirals • Releasing rumination and obsessive problem-solving • Supporting lymphatic drainage and detoxification • Reconnecting with body wisdom and intuition • Generating relaxation, pleasure, and embodied presenceYou'll learn how pairing breathwork, gentle movement, and lymphatic massage can support fascia release, emotional detox, and deeper mind-body connection — without forcing positivity or bypassing your feelings.This practice is especially supportive during your menstrual cycle, when your body is already in a natural state of detoxification and release.I'm also sharing how I habit-stack this ritual with affirmations and subconscious reprogramming, creating a nervous-system-safe way to shift your inner state and reconnect with yourself.If you're craving a way to soften, regulate, and come back into safety — this episode is an invitation to slow down and come home to your body.✨ I'll be guiding you through this oxytocin bathing practice live inside The Mystical Life Launchpad in just a few weeks.Inside the Mystical Life Launchpad, you'll find guided practices for cycle syncing, nervous system regulation, energy healing, lymphatic drainage, reflexology, meditations, and past life regressions — all designed to help you feel grounded, supported, and connected in every season of life.If you're ready to create inner stability, deepen your intuition, and feel safe in your body again, I'd love to welcome you inside.Click HERE to join ➡️ https://www.marissaremy.com/templeLet's Stay Connected:https://www.instagram.com/marissaremyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@marissaremy?lang=en

 Whether you feel stuck in your career, your relationship, your friendships, your habits, your overall life, it can feel hopeless. It can feel confusing. It can feel really, really frustrating. In my over 400 conversations with experts on this podcast, the topic of feeling stuck or how to make the right decision or how to get out of a slump comes up so, so often. So I decided to put together the ultimate unstuck toolkit, which covers everything you need from all angles (neuroscience, behavioral patterns, relationship patterns) to help you gain motivation, clarity, and finally feel like you are able to move forward.

The cells amplify oxytocin—and may be responsible for sex differences in social behavior, two preprints find.

What causes addiction, and why is it so hard to quit? Discover precisely how addiction works in the brain, the powerful connection between addiction and dopamine, and what's really driving your cravings. In this video, I'll show you how to break the addiction cycle with practical steps that can help you regain control.Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO070:00 Introduction: Addiction explained0:52 How addiction works in the brain2:40 Why addiction is so hard to quit3:34 How to break addiction cycles 6:35 Addiction recovery tips8:09 Nicotine addiction explained9:00 Changing your environment to break addiction10:18 What causes addiction? 11:24 More addiction recovery tipsWhether you're addicted to smoking, alcohol, porn, sugar, social media, or gambling, attempting to quit often makes matters worse, but why?When you drink alcohol, for example, you feel happier and less stressed. Dopamine then tags alcohol as something that increases survival, and the more you consume, the stronger the drive.Dopamine and glutamate are the hormones involved with addiction. When glutamate levels are too high, you may experience abnormal body sensations, agitation, pressure, compulsion, and obsession. When you ignore this, your fight or flight mechanism kicks in, and your symptoms worsen.When you experience withdrawal symptoms as you're trying to break an addiction, try the following steps:1. Rate the intensity of the urge on a scale of 0-102. Locate or point to the affected part of your body3. Describe it to yourself4. Repeat When you repeat the process, you'll notice that the intensity of the sensations decreases. This process helps you differentiate yourself from your addiction. The more you define your addiction and separate yourself from it, the less it will affect you. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) significantly reduces glutamate spikes. Try taking 600-2400 mg of NAC per day, depending on the severity of the problem. Magnesium glycinate can increase GABA, which reduces cortisol and the fight-or-flight response. If you're a smoker, vitamin B1 and potassium can help. Changing your environment is vital to breaking the cycle of addiction. Problems with sleep, exercise, or blood sugar can make someone more vulnerable to developing an addiction. Coincidentally, increasing exercise, getting plenty of sleep, and following a low-carb diet can help break the cycle. Oxytocin can act as a safety net when you're experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Increase oxytocin with hugs, pets, bonding with friends and family, and L. Reuteri yogurt.

Send a textIn this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with double board-certified dermatologist Dr. Sabrina Fabi to examine how hormonal signaling actively shapes skin resilience, recovery, and structural integrity. This conversation moves beyond trend-driven skincare and into the biology that determines how skin functions at every stage of life.Dr. Fabi emphasizes that skin constantly responds to hormonal shifts. Changes in progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, and neurohormones influence collagen production, barrier strength, inflammation, muscle tone, and healing capacity. Aging reflects signaling patterns — not just the passage of time. When hormones fluctuate, skin behavior changes.A central focus of the discussion is oxytocin. While most people associate oxytocin with bonding and mood, Dr. Fabi explains that skin contains oxytocin receptors that participate in local repair and inflammatory signaling. That neuroendocrine connection reframes how we think about resilience. The brain and skin communicate continuously, and hormonal signaling drives that dialogue.Dr. Fabi applies this signaling-first framework directly through XOMD. Instead of topically applying exogenous hormones, she built XOMD around activating intrinsic pathways that support recovery and tissue strength. The focus remains on optimizing communication within the skin rather than overwhelming it with isolated actives.Throughout the episode, she challenges casual aesthetic culture and reinforces the importance of individualized, long-term planning. Hormones shape anatomy, metabolism, and tissue quality — treatment strategies must reflect that complexity.Listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Sabrina Fabi break down hormonal biology, oxytocin science, and how XOMD advances a more intelligent approach to skin resilience.SHOP XOMD SkincareDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

Oxytocin has become known for having anti-anxiety and affiliative behavioral effects. That's why clinicians and researchers are excited about using oxytocin as a potential therapeutic. Brian Trainor is a professor at UC Davis, and his lab has been studying this complexity for the past decade. For an animal model, they work with a territorial, aggressive, monogamous rodent species called California mice. If the male is removed and the female is forced to defend their nest, she will experience what's known as social defeat, and she will exhibit what's called inhibited affiliative behavior, the type that can be affected by oxytocin — and this effect can be studied in a mouse's brain.Read the full study here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41386-026-02352-y Hosted on Acast.

Ryggen värker och fingrarna är stela av kylan, men själen mår märkligt bra. Känner du igen dig?I detta introduktionsavsnitt sparkar vi igång vår nya miniserie "Därför är det så attans bra att vara småbrukare". Nyligen kom rapporten NORMO 2025 som visar att vi i Norden mår sämre än på tio år. Vi är mer stillasittande, äter sämre och stressar mer. Men vi tror att vi småbrukare sitter på ett dolt apotek. I den här serien i sex delar ska vi gå till botten med varför livet på landet faktiskt fungerar som medicin. Vi ska titta på forskningen bakom "skit under naglarna", varför skogen sänker stresshormoner snabbare än något piller, och hur kroppsarbete kan vara den bästa kuren mot panikångest.Här är vår färdplan för serien:Avsnitt 1: Jorden. Vi pratar om de magiska jordbakterierna som faktiskt boostar vårt serotonin.Avsnitt 2: Skogen. Vad händer i hjärnan när vi "skogsbadar" bland fytoncider?Avsnitt 3: Djuren. Oxytocin-festen! Hur djuren dämpar vår rädsla och skapar trygghet.Avsnitt 4: Kroppen. Varför det är lättare att "tänka klart" när man hugger ved än när man sitter i ett Zoom-möte.Avsnitt 5: När det brister. Ett specialavsnitt om utbrändhet och vägen tillbaka genom grön rehab.Avsnitt 6: Betong-småbrukaren. Hur du hittar gårdens hälsofördelar även om du bor på femte våningen i stan.I den här serien pratar vi inte bara "flum". Allt vi tar upp är baserat på evidensbaserad forskning, och vi kommer att länka till de studier som stödjer våra påståenden i varje avsnittsbeskrivning.

What does science actually say about monogamy, desire, and long-term love? Evolutionary biologist Dr. Justin Garcia joins co-host Sue Marriott to deepen our understanding of the myths and realities of modern relationships. From monogamy to consensual non-monogamy, we explore how jealousy and trust function – not as flaws – but as deeply human signals shaped by biology and attachment. Dr. Garcia breaks down how relationships shift over time, especially as we age, and why sexual satisfaction isn't just about frequency – it's about novelty, meaning, and connection. We dive into the neuroscience of intimacy, including the roles of dopamine and oxytocin, and revisit the Kinsey scale to better understand the fluidity of sexual orientation. This conversation is a grounded, nuanced look at how passion evolves, and how couples can intentionally cultivate desire, curiosity, and emotional safety over the long haul. “Humans, the most intimate animal, will always live and die for love. Understanding why gives us the power to find and maintain the loves worth living for.” – Dr. Justin Garcia, a quote from The Intimate Animal Time Stamps for Why Long-Term Love Gets Complicated: A Scientific Approach with Dr. Justin Garcia (291) 00:57 Understanding social vs. sexual monogamy 04:32 The evolutionary perspective on relationships 08:26 Jealousy and relationship dynamics 20:25 Sexuality and aging: A new perspective 28:44 The power of eye gaze and oxytocin 30:30 Understanding aggression: Oxytocin and vasopressin dynamics 39:01 Exploring sexual diversity and the Kinsey scale About Our Guest – Dr. Justin Garcia Dr. Justin Garcia is an evolutionary biologist and international authority on the science of sex and relationships.

120. Microdosing for Midlife: Hormones, Perception, and Libido (Week 3)Exploring how menopause, perception shifts, and nervous system regulation intersect with midlife libido.Episode SummaryThis episode continues Week 3 of Microdosing for Midlife, April Pride's 12-part audio companion to her Substack series exploring microdosing through the lens of midlife transition.In this conversation, April examines one of the most quietly asked questions among women in perimenopause and menopause: can microdosing influence hormones or libido? Rather than positioning psilocybin as a hormonal intervention, she reframes the inquiry around perception, serotonin signaling, emotional regulation, and nervous system safety.The episode explores how estrogen fluctuations affect mood stability, why cortisol and stress patterns shape desire, and how subtle perceptual shifts—rather than dramatic sensations—may influence connection and intimacy. Through personal reflection and grounded science, April centers integration over hype.

What if your mood swings, anxiety, sleep issues, or loss of motivation aren't just "getting older?" What role does oxytocin really play in midlife, and why has it been overlooked for so long? In this episode, I'm joined by the brilliant hormone scholar Dr. Lindsey Berkson, and we dive into a part of menopause that almost no one is talking about—what's happening in your brain. We explore how hormones act as the body's Wi‑Fi system, and what happens when that signal gets disrupted. Could environmental toxins be hijacking not just estrogen and progesterone, but oxytocin too? And if so, how might that impact connection, libido, blood sugar, digestion, or even depression? This conversation gets bold, nuanced, and deeply eye-opening. Dr. Berkson also challenges mainstream narratives around hormone therapy. Were we misled about estrogen and breast cancer? Why do some women struggle with HRT while others thrive? And could detoxification and nutrient status be the missing link? If you've ever wondered why your body isn't responding the way you expected, you won't want to miss this one! In this episode, we uncover: How oxytocin impacts mood, sleep, libido, and connection in midlife. Why environmental toxins may disrupt your hormonal "Wi‑Fi." What makes some women struggle with hormone replacement therapy. How oxytocin supports blood sugar, digestion, and pain relief. Why estrogen and progesterone are more protective than you've been told.

If you've ever felt trapped in cravings, emotional eating, or shame after food — this episode is for you.I break down the three feel-good hormones that quietly run your relationship with food, cravings, and self-sabotage: dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin.This isn't a biology lesson.It's a reframe — one that replaces shame with understanding and control with compassion.Dopamine: The Fast Relief LoopDopamine is the reward hormone. It's released anytime we move away from discomfort toward relief.Stress → foodOverwhelm → wineEmotions → scrolling, shopping, snackingWhen I feel stressed and ice cream makes me feel better, my brain learns that pattern. Over time, dopamine becomes the shortcut — but it never lasts. The body adapts, and suddenly one cookie isn't enough. One glass of wine becomes three or four.This isn't a discipline issue.It's a trained reward loop in the nervous system.Serotonin: Why Joy Starts in the GutSerotonin is the hormone of calm, ease, and steady joy — and 90% of it is produced in the gut.When I'm in protection mode, digestion is no longer a priority. Blood flow shifts, cortisol rises, and healing shuts down. I can eat — but I'm not digesting.This is why protection mode often shows up as:bloatingfood sensitivitiesanxietystubborn weight, especially around the midsectionMy body isn't failing.It's responding to perceived danger.Oxytocin: The Hormone I'm Actually CravingOxytocin is the hormone of love, safety, connection, and belonging.It's released when I'm kind to myself, when I speak gently, when I connect, hug, touch, laugh, and allow myself to feel safe.But when negative self-talk blocks access to oxytocin, my body looks for substitutes.First serotonin.Then dopamine.Food becomes the regulator when love feels inaccessible.Why Shame Comes After the “High”Dopamine delivers fast relief — followed by second-order thinking:guilt, shame, regret, self-judgment.That emotional crash isn't failure.It's the nervous system losing access to safety again.My body was never asking for food.It was asking for connection.The Missing Piece: Safety Before ChangeEvery thought I think creates chemistry in my body.The vagus nerve listens to all of it.When safety comes first:digestion improvesserotonin risescravings softenweight becomes releasableThis episode reframes emotional eating as a nervous-system response, not a character flaw.Key TakeawaysDopamine offers relief, not regulationSerotonin requires digestion and safetyOxytocin is the deepest need beneath cravingsFood becomes the fallback when love feels inaccessibleHealing happens through safety, not controlReflection PromptsWhen I crave food, what feeling am I really seeking?Where am I relying on dopamine instead of safety?How do I speak to myself when I feel out of control?What would it look like to choose kindness instead of correction today?Where can I create more connection — with myself or others?Closing ThoughtYou're not addicted.You're not broken.You're regulating the best way your body knows how.And what it's really asking for…is love.Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call now and start your journey to lasting change!

For many people with a history of chronic stress, attachment wounds, or complex trauma, boundaries don't land as neutral information — they register in the nervous system as abandonment, threat, or loss of connection. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we explore why that happens and what it actually takes to rewire those responses at the level that matters most: the body. This conversation reframes boundaries not as walls, ultimatums, or communication strategies, but as a nervous system skill that emerges from regulation, capacity, and internal coherence. Together with our guest, we unpack why setting boundaries from anger can feel easier than setting them from truth, why receiving boundaries can activate shame or collapse, and how post-traumatic growth allows boundaries to become a source of safety rather than disconnection. If you've ever understood boundaries intellectually but struggled to live them relationally, this episode offers a deeper, more compassionate lens — one rooted in neuroscience, somatics, and the lived process of healing. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, co-hosts Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof are joined by Margy Feldhuhn, co-owner of Brain-Based Wellness, for a grounded, practical conversation about boundaries. The conversation addresses why boundaries can feel threatening for people with relational or developmental trauma, how control dynamics get confused with protection, and what it looks like to set limits without shame, punishment, or power struggles. Whether you struggle to set boundaries, feel triggered by others' boundaries, or worry about being "too much," this episode offers language and perspective that supports safety rather than disconnection.

Send me a text! I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!Forget the roses. Let's talk about the chemistry and practice of love that your body can actually feel and your life can sustain. I explore why genuine connection lowers cortisol, boosts oxytocin, and smooths heart rate variability, and how the vagus nerve helps you shift from fight or flight to social engagement and calm. Along the way, I untangle the early attachment templates that shape how we seek closeness, react to conflict, and choose partners without letting the past dictate the future.I share practical, grounded ways to make love coherent: touch and eye contact to build trust, music and laughter to raise oxytocin, and gentle movement and breath to settle the nervous system. I also dig into belief work through BEAM Therapy to uncover and clear the subtle stories like, “I'm not enough,” “love is dangerous,” “I'll be abandoned”, that keep the heart braced. When those patterns soften, generosity replaces self-erasure, and alignment shows up as what you feel, what you say, and how you live moving in the same direction.  For working with a reliable practitioner, I highly recommend Brenda Farrugia of https://www.sobrilliant.ca/.Pets get their moment too, because the research is striking: eye contact with your dog can raise oxytocin for both of you.  Beyond sentiment, I talk rituals that outlast performative holidays, like handwritten letters that name growth and gratitude, and why boundaries are a love language for your nervous system. By choosing practices that bring you back to a steady exhale, you stop confusing chaos with chemistry and start building bonds that feel like home.If this conversation helped you rethink love, subscribe, share it with someone who needs it today, and leave a review on Apple or Spotify - tell me the one practice you'll try this week.Support the showPlease rate & review my podcast with a few kind words on Apple or Spotify.

Uterine rupture or dehiscence associated with TOLAC results in the most significant increase in the likelihood of additional maternal and neonatal morbidity. It should be noted that the terms “uterine rupture” and “uterine dehiscence” are not consistently distinguished from each other in the literature and often are used interchangeably. Furthermore, the reported incidence of uterine rupture varies in part because some studies have grouped true, catastrophic uterine rupture together with asymptomatic scar dehiscence. In January 2026, a new meta-analysis examines the relationship between oxytocin use with TOLAC and uterine rupture. In this episode, we will summarize the key findings in that study and review the data on the use of internal monitors during TOLAC. Do internal monitors (FSE, IUPC) offer a safer TOLAC compared with external monitors? Listen in for details.1.

What if the missing ingredient in healing isn't effort, insight, or intensity — but safety? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and stress researcher Dr. Dave Rabin for a deep, grounding conversation about trauma, healing, psychedelics, and the nervous system. Dr. Dave explains why the body must feel safe before real transformation can occur, how vulnerability is not a weakness but a biological gateway to healing, and why many modern approaches to growth fail because they bypass the nervous system entirely. Together, they explore the science behind touch, oxytocin, the vagus nerve, and the body's innate pharmacy — and why regulation, not catharsis, is what allows change to last. This conversation bridges cutting-edge neuroscience with ancient wisdom, reframing healing as a process of listening, softening, and restoring trust in the body. If you've been doing the work — meditating, journaling, therapy, breathwork — but still feel tense, guarded, or dysregulated, this episode offers a radically compassionate reframe. In This Episode, We Explore: •Why safety is the foundation of all healing •How the nervous system responds to touch and presence •What “psychedelic” really means (beyond substances) •Why vulnerability is biologically necessary for change •The role of oxytocin, the vagus nerve, and regulation •Ancient medicine meeting modern neuroscience •Learning to trust the body over external metrics Key Moments: 00:00:00 — Why vulnerability is the gateway to healing 00:04:18 — Redefining “psychedelic” through neuroscience 00:09:42 — Why safety must come before transformation 00:15:36 — Touch as the fastest language of the nervous system 00:22:14 — Oxytocin, trust, and the biology of calm 00:29:08 — Why willpower doesn't heal trauma 00:36:41 — Eastern wisdom finally validated by Western science 00:43:27 — Self-touch, co-regulation, and restoring agency 00:50:12 — Listening to the body vs. outsourcing intuition to devices 00:57:19 — Building safety as a daily practice 01:04:03 — What real integration actually looks like 01:11:22 — Healing as remembering how to feel safe again About Dr. Dave Rabin Dr. Dave Rabin is a board-certified psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and co-founder of Apollo Neuroscience. He has spent over 15 years researching chronic stress, trauma, and non-invasive healing modalities, including MDMA-assisted therapy, touch-based regulation, and nervous system resilience.

Midlife has a way of getting your attention, especially when your body starts changing in ways no one really prepared you for, and menopause is often right at the center of it. In this conversation, we talk honestly about what's really happening during this season and what women can do to feel more like themselves again. You'll hear how small, intentional shifts can lead to more energy, clarity, and resilience over time. This episode is about moving from just getting through midlife to actually feeling good in it.   I sat down with Dr. Sangeeta Pati, MD, FACOG, ABOIM, a Board-Certified OB/GYN and Integrative Medicine Physician with over 30 years of experience, and the Founder of MD Prescriptives and the SaJune Institute. We break down her simple but powerful five-point model covering hormones, nutrition, detoxification, mind-heart balance, and the physical body. She also shares how lessons from the Blue Zones apply to women's health, especially during menopause. Everything we discuss is practical, doable, and rooted in real science.   Dr. Sangeeta opens up about how her global work in maternal health and her own healing journey completely changed how she approaches women's care. We talk about stress, the nervous system, burnout, and why so many women feel overwhelmed in midlife. This episode connects the dots between everyday habits and the body's natural ability to heal. If you're craving a grounded, reassuring conversation about menopause, longevity, and whole-body wellness, you'll feel right at home here.   Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] Introduction.

As the digital world of AI accelerates faster than ever, it's tempting to automate, optimize, and outsource nearly every part of our lives. But what if the path we're on is, ironically, pulling us further away from a meaningful life and genuine happiness?  In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with my good friend Ryan Levesque to explore a powerful, yet contrarian concept he calls Return to Real—and why it may be the thing we need most when AI is making us feel more disconnected than ever before. Ryan is a renowned entrepreneur, author, and creator of the ASK Method, who has built and scaled several successful companies. His perspective weaves together business strategies, neuroscience, ecology, and spirituality to challenge how we've come to define success and what leads to true happiness and fulfillment. In our conversation, Ryan breaks down three (3) transformative shifts for living well in the age of AI. He explains why the best things in life don't scale, why optimizing for oxytocin is more important than chasing dopamine, and why reconnecting with nature restores clarity, creativity, and purpose.  If you've been feeling overwhelmed or disconnected in the digital world that's changing faster than ever, this episode is an invitation to return to what's real. KEY TAKEAWAYS What "Return to Real" Really Means Three Forces That Are Colliding & Reshaping Humanity What History Tells Us About the Future with AI Ryan's Journey to Living Intentionally On a Farm Three Shifts That Challenge Mainstream Advice The Best Things in Life Don't Scale Optimize Your Life for Oxytocin, Not Dopamine How Efficiency Squeezes Oxytocin Out of Your Life A Very Simple Way To Increase Oxytocin Levels Prioritizing Time In Nature, Not Manmade Things The Benefit of Touching Earth Before Touching A Screen  How To Connect With Ryan and Get His Book Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/618 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

Dr. Isabelle Amigues unpacks why patients often recover better, faster, and more deeply in a supportive group. From mirror neurons and oxytocin to vagus nerve activation and the power of clinician belief, she explains how community and medicine accelerates remission—then previews UnabridgedMD's upcoming physician-led healing cohorts.What You'll Learn:From competition to collaboration: How traditional, competitive medical training contrasts with the superior outcomes of team-based care—and why adding patients to the care team elevates results.The brain science of group healingMirror neurons: observing others practice skills (e.g., injections, PT) improves your own learning and adherence.Oxytocin up, cortisol down: group practices (breath, chant, yoga) boost bonding hormones and reduce stress chemistry—fertile ground for recovery.Vagus nerve / parasympathetic activation: group rituals nudge the nervous system into “rest-and-repair,” lowering inflammation.Placebo power, reframed: Why clinician belief and a supportive cohort measurably enhance outcomes (a reason trials are double-blind)—and how to harness that effect ethically.Mindset shapes pain: Attention directs perception; scanning for what's working reduces pain. Group programs for chronic pain (e.g., back pain) consistently show greater relief and fewer relapses than going solo.Medication and milieu: Biologics and DMARDs are powerful tools, but outcomes improve further when paired with community practices that activate anti-inflammatory pathways.Safety, accountability, momentum: Groups create a psychologically safe space to try new habits, show up consistently, and stay on track—especially valuable in rheumatologic conditions.What's next at UnabridgedMD: A webinar and physician-led community cohorts designed to help patients reach and sustain remission through evidence-based medical care plus group-based nervous-system and lifestyle practices.If a trusted group could help you heal 25–40% faster, what habit or symptom would you choose to transform first?

What if the hormone you've been ignoring your entire life… is the one that could save it?In this electrifying episode of The Crackin Backs Podcast we welcome back hormone-game-changer Dr. Devaki Lindsey Berkson — a global thought-leader whose career spans nearly four decades of clinical breakthroughs in hormones, nutrition and gut-health.Known for calling Oxytocin “the most misunderstood hormone in modern medicine” — not just the so-called “love hormone,” but a whole-body regulator — Dr. Berkson pulls back the curtain on how oxytocin might be the missing link behind loneliness, inflammation, hormone decline, disconnection, anxiety, burnout, mood disorders, trauma, menopause, male aging, intimacy and longevity.Why have we excluded oxytocin from the women's health conversation (menopause, pelvic floor, estrogen/progesterone interplay)? What does the science actually reveal about oxytocin's power to rewire the brain, heal trauma, support male cardiovascular health, and rewrite the aging script? Dr. Berkson explains it all — with the kind of clinical depth and personal insight that only comes from someone who has lived the story as both doctor and patient.If you're ready to challenge everything you've been told about hormones and discover the regulatory molecule that may hold the key to emotional connection, physical resilience, and the longer, better life you deserve — you cannot skip this episode. Want to dig deeper?

Orgasmic Birth Story   Ep 170 Description:  "Embodiment only happens if you have a body, so if you have a physical shell, and that physical shell is showing you signs. That physical shell can be sore, it can be tender, it can ache, it can also feel good and nurtured and soft and warm." —Lisa Strohdach What if the secret to a more joyful birth and life isn't about pushing harder, but about tuning in, letting go, and giving yourself permission to feel good? If you've ever felt disconnected from your body or doubted that pleasure belongs in pregnancy and parenting, you're not alone—there's a gentler, more powerful way forward. Consider this: your body already knows how to connect pleasure, rest, and birth, and it's time to trust that wisdom. This week, Debra sits with Lisa Strohdach, whose journey began with her own craving for self-pleasure and embodiment during pregnancy, which she later realized was key to her smooth breech home birth. This personal awakening inspired her to become a doula, yoga teacher, and retreat leader, now guiding others to cut through shame and confusion so that they can reconnect with their body and mind. Hear real talk on embodiment, oxytocin, masturbation, radical rest, simple breathwork, and how to create a supportive community—plus, get tips you can use right now to make pleasure and rest part of your everyday routine in this episode.

Did you create a budget for Christmas? Do you know what you are going to get the people in your life? What is it going to cost you? What is your budget, your economy? What is God’s economy? Today, on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants you to consider your economy, your frame for the season, and your operating system. What needs to happen for you to look back and consider this holiday season, a “GOOD” or a “bad” Christmas? The Bible tells us it is more blessed to receive than to give. Neuroscience backs up this Biblical truth. When we give our brains release Oxytocin, the bonding hormone- it builds connection. When we give, we also release dopamine, the joy chemical, and we lower Cortisol, the stress hormone. Yet, how many people are worn-out after Christmas from the rushing, the worrying, the purchasing and the mortgaging of our future, based on some traditions of men. Listeners will consider their gifts, their heart, and their operating system. Today’s hour of power is designed to get your heart and your mind on the true reason of the season.

STOP Tracking Yourself PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTMuscle, Weight & Hormones Drive Musculoskeletal Health* Muscle is an endocrine organ that releases anti-inflammatory myokines.* Excess weight accelerates systemic inflammation and joint degeneration.* Hormonal shifts—especially around midlife and menopause—can amplify pain, stiffness, and functional decline.Five Actionable Daily Habits Dramatically Improve Musculoskeletal Vitality* Move constantly using micro-bursts (“exercise snacks”) and adopt tall, confident posture (“channel your inner matador”).* Train for power, not just strength—muscle power predicts longevity 600% better than strength alone.* Live at or near your ideal weight, eating less and less often to reduce inflammation and joint stress.* Stretch daily—data shows stretching reduces inflammation and may reduce cancer risk.* Check and optimize hormones, especially after age 45–50.The Matador Posture Boosts Both Physical & Cognitive PerformanceStanding or sitting tall with retracted shoulder blades not only improves joint mechanics but also enhances:* Attention, Alertness and Memory* This is supported by scientific studies, not just opinion. Simple posture shifts create measurable cognitive and performance benefits.Muscle Power, Not Muscle Mass, Is the Real Longevity Superpower* Muscle power declines faster with age than strength or mass.* Lower power predicts falls, fractures, disability, and mortality.* Even a simple test like a rapid 5× sit-to-stand is a validated tool for assessing knee function and overall vitality.This reframes training: fast, controlled movements should be prioritized over slow, heavy lifting alone.Closeness Is a Biological Superpower. A New Study Shows It Accelerates HealingA randomized clinical trial of 80 couples revealed that:* Oxytocin alone doesn't improve healing.* Affectionate physical touch alone doesn't either.* But oxytocin + affectionate intimacy together accelerate wound healing and reduce cortisol.Researchers concluded that closeness is a biologic safety signal that activates the body's healing pathways.This elevates social connection to a form of neuroendocrine medicine—as vital as exercise, weight, or sleep.Copyright, VyVerse LLC.

Oxytocin might get all the hype as the "love hormone," but the way it quietly shapes our mood, relationships, and everyday well-being is honestly pretty incredible once you understand it. In today's episode, you'll get a clear look at what this hormone is actually doing behind the scenes and why it plays such a big role in how connected, calm, and joyful we feel. We break down the real science in simple language and talk about the places where oxytocin shows up in your life without you even noticing.   I'm sitting down with my good friend, Dr. Tyna Moore, one of the smartest and most grounded voices in regenerative medicine, and a licensed Naturopathic Physician and Chiropractor with nearly 30 years of experience. She shares how oxytocin supports immunity, emotional balance, metabolic health, and even pain resilience in ways most women never hear about. We talk through simple, doable habits that naturally lift oxytocin without feeling like another task on your list.   We also open up about topics that deserve way more space, like vaginal atrophy, pelvic floor strength, intimacy changes, and how oxytocin weaves into all of it as we age. You'll walk away with insights you can use immediately to support your body, your mood, and your relationships.

Misoprostol, as an E1 prostaglandin, is primarily used in obstetrics for cervical ripening (when the Bishop Score is under 6) and/or for labor INDUCTION (to begin labor). IV oxytocin is the principal agent used to augmentlabor, as needed, once labor has begun. In the US, misoprostol is not typically used after 4-6 cm cervical dilation. However, in a patient who requires augmentation,and who declines Pitocin while asking or oral misoprostol, can that be used? Is that evidence-based? The data may surprise you.

Welcome to "The Problem With" where each week we look into a problem to get a better understanding of it. This podcast has no sponsors, only my businesses and investments. Please check out the links below.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I discuss the science of social connection and how we form meaningful bonds with others. I explore the neural basis for "social homeostasis"—our drive for a certain amount of social interaction—which explains why we feel lonely, seek connection and how we navigate social hierarchies. I also explain how the brain and neurochemicals, such as oxytocin and dopamine, shape our relationships from infancy through adulthood and underlie traits like introversion and extroversion. The episode also offers practical insights into forming deeper connections and how shared experiences with others enhance social bonding. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Did you know four brain chemicals secretly control your motivation, mood, and mental energy every single day?In this episode, Jim sits down with neuroscientist and bestselling author TJ Power to break down the DOSE Effect. It is a science backed framework for activating the four key neurochemicals that shape your daily experience: Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins.TJ shares how our modern digital lifestyles are draining these natural feel good chemicals and how you can rebalance them through small, evidence based habits. You will learn the difference between natural and artificial dopamine, how to boost oxytocin through real human connection, the serotonin and sunlight link that stabilizes your mood, and the surprising power of endorphins to calm stress.You will also hear why technology is hijacking your motivation system, how to design your environment to protect your brain, and a simple daily ritual to reset your chemistry in under five minutes.By the end, you will have a clear roadmap to upgrade your focus, energy, and emotional balance without relying on caffeine, willpower, or scrolling.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explore the neuroscience of fear and trauma and how to effectively process and eliminate traumatic responses. I explain why successful fear treatment requires both extinction of the old fearful response and replacement with a new positive association—not just cognitive reframing. I also explain how the threat reflex activates specific circuits connecting the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and dopamine systems, and why detailed recounting of traumatic events progressively reduces their physiological impact. Finally, I review evidence-based approaches, including prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, discuss how five minutes per day of deliberate stress through cyclic hyperventilation can rewire fear responses, explain the critical role of social connection in activating neural pathways that reduce trauma, and share supplementation options for managing anxiety.
