Podcasts about Oxytocin

On this episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I am joined by intimacy expert and author Susan Bratton (@susanbratton)  to explore the powerful connection between passion, pleasure, and fertility. Too often, trying to conceive becomes mechanical and stressful, leaving intimacy feeling like a chore. Susan brings her 20+ years of experience helping couples transform “having sex” into “making love” and shares practical tools to reignite joy and connection on the fertility journey. We dive into her three keys to conception, relaxation, connection, and engorgement, and how practices like yoni massage, oxytocin-boosting foods, and conscious lovemaking can not only increase the chances of conceiving but also create a more vibrant and lasting intimacy. Susan also shares insights on male performance challenges, natural fertility-friendly products, and why cultivating oxytocin can be life-changing for both partners. If you've been feeling like intimacy has become all about the baby-making schedule, this episode will give you a refreshing and empowering perspective on bringing back the romance and planting the seeds for a lifetime of passion. Key Takeaways: Why fertility often makes intimacy feel mechanical and how to shift that. The three keys to conception from a sex expert's perspective: relaxation, connection, and engorgement. How yoni massage and nitric oxide support female arousal and fertility. Oxytocin's overlooked role in conception, joy, and long-term intimacy. Practical tools to reduce stress, reignite pleasure, and support both partners through TTC.

Craving love can connect us—or leave us vulnerable to harm we never saw coming. In this episode, I (Lisa Bilyeu) sit down with evolutionary anthropologist Dr. Anna Machin to peel back the science behind why we're drawn to love, why it can blind us to red flags, and how manipulators like narcissists and psychopaths use our own biology against us. With fascinating research, actionable advice, and hard-earned empathy, Anna breaks down not only how we get trapped but also the precise path out—so you can reclaim your confidence, trust your instincts, and invite in the healthy love you deserve.

What does it really take to have a good birth in a hospital?In this episode, I'm joined by Care Messer, Founder of the Birth Education Center in San Diego. She's a certified hypnobirthing instructor, a DONA-certified doula, and a childbirth educator who also trains doulas. Care teaches engaging, partner-friendly online classes that have helped many families prepare for birth with more clarity and confidence.We get into what it means to prepare early, why most women don't realize how much choice they actually have, and what it looks like to create a safe, grounded birth experience inside a hospital system.

A revolution in skincare has arrived, and it's changing the way we think about beauty from the inside out. Meet XOMD – the first true mood-ceutical skincare line that's bridging the gap between emotional wellbeing and physical appearance through the science of oxytocin.Dr. Sabrina Fabi joins us to share the fascinating journey behind creating this groundbreaking product line with her husband, a fellow aesthetic physician. Their lightbulb moment came during Dr. Fabi's pregnancy when she noticed her skin maintained its radiance despite pausing her usual treatments. The culprit? Oxytocin – the "bonding hormone" that not only helps mothers connect with their babies but also creates that coveted pregnancy glow.The science is compelling: people with naturally higher oxytocin levels appear approximately three years younger than their peers. XOMD's proprietary jasmine-derived peptide mimics this effect by binding to oxytocin receptors in the skin's epidermis, creating remarkable improvements in radiance, hydration, and inflammation. Clinical trials revealed not just visible skin benefits, but significant emotional impacts – users reported 87% increased confidence and reduced social anxiety after just eight weeks.What makes this approach truly revolutionary is its dual-action pathway. Unlike most skincare ingredients that work solely on the skin's surface, XOMD's formula creates a positive feedback loop between skin receptors and the brain's hypothalamus. This connection makes it particularly valuable for women experiencing hormonal transitions like menopause, when declining estrogen reduces natural oxytocin receptor binding capacity.The elegantly designed product line – featuring Detox Cleanser, Intoxicate Serum, and Arouse Moisturizer – delivers professional-grade results while maintaining incredible gentleness. Even post-procedure patients report accelerated healing and reduced redness, sometimes eliminating the need for follow-up treatments.Ready to experience skincare that transforms both how you look and how you feel? Discover the science of emotional beauty with XOMD – where confidence and radiance begin at the cellular level.Let's Connect! * Instagram https://www.instagram.com/premierderm/* Facebook https://www.facebook.com/premierdermatology* Website: https://premierderm.netPremier Dermatology is located in Bentonville, Fayetteville, & Bella Vista, Arkansas!

In this episode, Anthony Hartcher delves into the universal experience of loneliness in the digital age and unpacks the paradox of feeling “connected” even as we grow more isolated. He highlights why meeting face-to-face nurtures deeper bonds, trust, and genuine vulnerability. Along the way, Anthony explains how mirror neurons underpin our ability to empathise and learn from others, and he shows how stepping back and letting people solve their own problems can actually empower them. Ultimately, he argues that embracing every facet of who we are—and recognising those same parts in others—is the key to cultivating authentic, integrated relationships. TakeawaysLoneliness is a subjective experience, not defined by external factors.Social media creates a false sense of connection through highlight reels.In-person interactions allow for deeper conversations and connections.Trust and vulnerability are essential for meaningful relationships.Oxytocin plays a key role in feeling connected to others.Mirror neurons help us understand and relate to others' behaviors.Judging others often reflects our own unacknowledged feelings.Disempowering others can lead to their personal growth and resourcefulness.Integration of the self is crucial for authentic connections.Feeling at one with oneself is the first step to connecting with others.Beyond This Conversation Consider how these ideas play out across different generations—from teens to retirees—and in settings like the workplace, classrooms, or community groups. Reflect on the role of video calls and hybrid gatherings: Can digital platforms ever approximate the trust and oxytocin release that come from in-person moments? Think about practical steps to practice “empowerment over rescue” in your own relationships and discover how small boundary shifts can foster resilience and growth. Don't forget to like, comment, and follow for more health tips and wellness.

NOW it all makes sense - and it's backed by science! ONE little hormone, or the lack of it has changed you. And that my friend - is it. Your lack of sleep, your lack- or seeming lack - of empathy, potential heart trouble - and that general feeling that everyone else can suck a lemon - because you're going to do what you want now. All explained. According to the Harvard article, What is oxytocin? "Oxytocin is a hormone that's produced in the hypothalamus and released into the bloodstream by the pituitary gland. Its main function is to facilitate childbirth, which is one of the reasons it is called the "love drug" or "love hormone." Oxytocin, like endorphins or serotonin, is a type of hormone in your body that promotes positive feelings.” And according to the Journal of Endocrinology, “Oxytocin is a neurohormone that regulates emotionality, social behaviors, and fundamental physiological systems. Localization of oxytocin receptors in the brain, reproductive tissues, bone, and heart support their role in mental health and potentially sleep, along with reproductive and cardiovascular functions.”   Scientific references discussed: https://joe.bioscientifica.com/view/journals/joe/262/1/JOE-23-0396.xml   https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/oxytocin-the-love-hormone Thank you for joining me today!

In this enlightening episode, we welcome Loretta Bruning, founder of the Intermammal Institute and author of 'Habits of a Happy Brain.' Loretta delves deep into the intricate relationship between brain impulses and soul growth. Learn about the role of happy chemicals like serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins in shaping our behaviors, and discover how experiences in childhood and adolescence wire our brains. This discussion also explores how we can consciously rewire our brains for better habits, the importance of balancing immediate and long-term gratification, and the profound journey of integrating the physical brain with spiritual growth. Tune in to understand how we can harness our mammalian brain and elevate our lives through intentional soul evolution.00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction01:05 Loretta's Background and Academic Psychology02:35 Animal Behavior and Brain Wiring03:23 Motivation and Soul's Role05:25 Neuroplasticity and Rewiring the Brain08:20 Managing Impulses and Threat Chemicals22:22 Childhood Wiring and Self-Compassion29:32 Social Comparison and Animal Training37:58 Oxytocin and Psychological Safety41:42 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsLoretta Graziano Breuning, PhD, is author of Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain Your Brain to Boost Your Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin and Endorphin Levels. She's Founder of the Inner Mammal Institute and Professor Emerita of Management at California State University, East Bay. Dr. Breuning's many books, videos and podcasts explain the brain chemistry we've inherited from earlier mammals. It shows that our "happy chemicals" evolved for specific jobs, not to flow all the time for no reason. Our brain is not designed to produce constant happiness, yet Dr. Breuning's work explains the natural way to enhance our power over these chemicals. Her ten books are translated into sixteen languages. Before teaching, Loretta worked for the United Nations in Africa. Today, she gives zoo tours on animals behavior, after serving as a Docent at the Oakland Zoo. The Inner Mammal Institute offers videos, podcasts, books, blogs, multimedia, a training program, and a free five-day happy-chemical jumpstart.

What if you could shift your child's behavior not with consequences, but with calm? What if the most powerful tool you have is love—biochemically speaking? In this eye-opening episode, Colleen O'Grady welcomes trauma and adoption expert Bryan Post to unpack the neuroscience behind stress and connection in parenting. Bryan explains how fear-based reactions (driven by cortisol) and love-based responses (driven by oxytocin) shape our children's behaviors—and our reactions to them. Drawing from his own story as an adoptee, Bryan introduces the concept of “stress-sensitive children,” emphasizing that behaviors we label as “bad” often stem from unhealed trauma and unconscious grief. Through vivid stories and science-backed insights, Bryan offers simple, powerful shifts moms can make—starting with breathing—to transform stress into connection. Bryan Post is one of the nation's leading experts on child behavior, trauma, and adoption. An adoptee and former foster child himself, Bryan founded Fear to Love LLC and developed the Fear to Love Method, a neuroscience-based, love-focused approach to parenting children with challenging behaviors. He's a therapist, speaker, and bestselling author of From Fear to Love and co-author of Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control. He is also the creator of Bondify the first AI-powered trauma-informed parenting support app. All behavior arises from a state of stress. Underneath every meltdown or defiance is a nervous system overwhelmed by fear, often from unexpressed trauma or grief—sometimes passed down for generations. Oxytocin is the antidote to cortisol. Just as stress creates fear-driven behaviors, connection creates calm. Nurturing relationships, not consequences, help regulate the brain. Breathe first. Respond second. When parents slow down and breathe, they can shift their vibration from fear to love. That energy change alone can stop a four-year tantrum cycle in its tracks.

Send us a textThe invisible threads that connect us to our animal companions run deeper than we often realize. This compelling exploration of the pet-human bond reveals how our furry, feathered, and finned friends transform our mental wellbeing through neurochemical pathways that science is only beginning to understand.When you stroke your cat's fur or feel your dog's head resting on your lap, something remarkable happens in your brain. Oxytocin—the bonding hormone—floods your system while stress hormones simultaneously decrease. What's fascinating is that the same chemical reaction occurs in your pet's brain too, creating a mutual healing exchange. This symbiotic relationship explains why 80% of people instinctively turn to their pets during moments of loneliness.Beyond the comfort they provide at home, pets create natural bridges to human connection. The simple act of walking a dog or discussing pet care with others fosters community engagement that might otherwise remain elusive, especially for those struggling with isolation or social anxiety. Veterans paired with service animals experience dramatic improvements in sleep quality, family relationships, and even employment prospects. Meanwhile, studies of Alzheimer's patients show remarkable benefits from simply eating meals in rooms with fish tanks—consuming more food and exhibiting fewer behavioral issues.The journey of pet ownership isn't without its heartaches. The inevitable loss of a beloved animal companion teaches us valuable lessons about grief and resilience. As one therapist beautifully explains, this experience parallels kintsugi—the Japanese art of mending broken items with gold. Through loss, we emerge changed but somehow more complete, having learned how to love unconditionally and navigate profound attachment. While taking on the responsibility of pet ownership requires careful consideration of financial and emotional commitments, the therapeutic benefits make it a worthwhile endeavor for anyone seeking improved mental health and emotional connection in an increasingly disconnected world.FIND ME:My Website: https://motorcityhypnotist.com/podcastMy social media links: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/motorcityhypnotist/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCjjLNcNvSYzfeX0uHqe3gATwitter: https://twitter.com/motorcityhypnoInstagram: motorcityhypnoFREE HYPNOSIS GUIDEhttps://detroithypnotist.convertri.com/podcast-free-hypnosis-guidePlease also subscribe to the show and leave a review.(Stay with me as later in the podcast, I'll be giving away a free gift to all listeners!)Change your thinking, change your life!Laugh hard, run fast, be kind.

Hello my gorgeous angels, and welcome back to another episode of The Money Mindset & Manifestation Podcast!This episode is inspired by a powerful session with one of my private clients who had no idea that love and money were energetically connected, and honestly, most people don't. But once you understand how they mirror one another, it becomes the biggest unlock for manifesting more money, deeper love, and a wildly abundant life.Inside, I break down how your ability to receive love and money is formed in childhood, how your relationship with your father influences your money story (yes, really!), and what to do if you feel stuck in lack, fear, or undeservingness in either area. I'm sharing client stories, personal breakthroughs, and the exact steps to shift from lack to love so you can attract it all.In this episode, you'll learn:Why love and money are two sides of the same energetic coinHow your receiving blueprint is formed in early childhoodThe connection between your relationship with your father and money (this one will blow your mind)How to identify the core belief keeping you in lackA step-by-step method to clear limiting beliefs and reprogram your self-worthHow to shift from scarcity to abundance in minutesYou can't think your way out of lack. You have to feel your way into love.Feel it to receive it:Shift your vibration with these 5 powerful tools:→ Nature walks→ Movement & dancing→ Gratitude practice→ Acts of service→ Oxytocin-boosting puppy cuddles Resources:Clear the Fear Certification: Help others clear their limiting beliefs and become a certified practitioner!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [Link to certification]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Higher Self App: Dive deeper into recalibrating your mind and clearing your subconscious blocks. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[Link to app]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Marley's YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Marley on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow along with Marley at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@marleyroseharris⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, view her website at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠marleyrose.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or send her an email to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠hello@marleyrose.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! Submitting a review?

Why is community so challenging? Why are we so prone to hide? And what can we learn from God's design for our brain?In week 2 of Neurotheology. Ryan teaches us about oxytocin and God's design for community, connection, and confidence.

My guest is Dr. Nirao Shah, MD, PhD, a professor of psychiatry, behavioral sciences and neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. We discuss how the brains of males and females differ and how those differences arise from different genes and hormones during fetal development, in childhood and adulthood. We discuss what drives male- versus female-specific behaviors and how hormonal fluctuations across the lifespan, including puberty, the menstrual cycle, menopause and aging – affect behavior, cognition and health. Additionally, we discuss how biology relates to gender identity and the impact of hormone therapies on brain circuits that regulate mating, parenting and social bonding.

Biologist Lauren O'Connell studies poisonous frogs, but not just the toxins that make them dangerous. She also studies the neuroscience of their complex parenting. She's learned that tadpoles recognize their mothers by smell and do a “begging dance” when hungry, and that the frogs produce a protein that protects them from their own poisonous chemistry.  That protein could help treat overdoses in humans, O'Connell tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

She is the Founder of the Inner Mammal Institute and author of Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain your brain to boost your serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphin levels.Our happy brain chemicals are not designed to be on all the time. When you know what sparks them in the state of nature, you can find healthy ways to spark them in daily life.But it is hard. Our brain is inherited from ancestors who had to struggle constantly to survive. Our chemicals are designed to reward us for taking action to meet our survival needs. Our unhappy chemicals turn on easily because our ancestors lived in a world of threat.Managing these chemicals is a skill we must learn from practice, like any other skill. She will teach you how, so you can enjoy your natural dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin in new ways.She has helped thousands of people make peace with their inner mammal. Her ten books have been translated into eighteen languages. She has been on many podcasts and has her own: The Happy Brain Podcast.This method is all positive. It is not about disorders. It is not about diet, exercise, or mindfulness. It is about accepting the natural job of your chemicals so you can guide your mammal brain the way a rider guides a horse. https://innermammalinstitute.org/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Lonely? Your Brain's Begging for Connection   How Dr. Paul Zak Decoded the Neuroscience of Trust and Human Connection What if the secret to happiness, purpose, and even financial success lies in your brain's chemistry—and in how often you hug others? Have you ever wondered why we trust some people instantly and others not at all? Why love feels so healing—and why certain leaders inspire loyalty while others trigger fear? At the heart of these mysteries is a powerful brain chemical: oxytocin. “Oxytocin is a gift you have to give to somebody else.” – Dr. Paul Zak In this Richer Soul episode, Dr. Paul Zak, affectionately known as Dr. Love, reveals how understanding our brain's biology can transform the way we lead, parent, connect, and even build wealth.

What if the most powerful medicine for your heart, hormones, and longevity was already inside you? Oxytocin—often called the “love hormone”—isn't just about romance or bonding.

In this conversation, we explore how oxytocin connects the science of healing with the soul of connection. You'll learn how to naturally elevate your oxytocin through simple daily practices—touch, trust, purpose, and presence—and why love truly is medicine. Whether you're focused on healing, healthy aging, or deepening your relationships, this episode offers tools to elevate your life from the inside out. #Oxytocin #HeartHealth #Longevity #LoveHormone #EmotionalWellness #NaturalHealing #HealthyAging #MindBodyMedicine #FunctionalMedicine #HormoneHealth #Resilience #RelationshipHealth #Neuropeptide #StressRelief

What if the thing you're avoiding—being truly seen—is actually the key to healing?In this powerful episode, the speaker explores the contrast between isolation and intimacy, and how both can impact our relationships, our work, and our inner world. While isolation often feels like protection—especially in times of burnout, heartbreak, or exhaustion—it can eventually lead to loneliness and numbness. On the other hand, intimacy requires courage. It's about being vulnerable, open, and allowing yourself to be supported, not just in romantic relationships but in everyday life and professional spaces too.The episode blends neuroscience, yoga philosophy, and personal reflection. It touches on the role of the spiritual heart (hridaya), the healing power of physical and emotional connection, and the challenges of receiving support without guilt. Themes like overgiving vs. receptivity, self-care as a gateway to connection, and the need for balance are emphasized.Listeners are guided through reflective questions and even a gentle breath-based embodiment practice. The episode closes with a tender reminder: You are allowed to receive.

Relationships are challenging.In this episode, we explore some of the Autistic phenotype challenges in relationships. We discuss symptoms from criteria A are external and criteria B are internal, and how criteria B complicates the symptoms in criteria A. In addition, Autism is a comparison to social-norms, and this is a problem. Some environments/relationships discussed include peer-to-peer, romantic, and parent-child. To begin, we explain the mechanisms behind the speaker-receiver and the use of conveying speech in socialness.Before we begin, we cover a brief explanation of Speaker-Receiver and human communication.Dr. Theresa Regan episode https://youtu.be/aUhIreFd5swAutism and Adaptive Responses https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-the-spectrum-finding-superpowers-with-autism/id1737499562?i=1000658438095What is Autism: Criteria A https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-the-spectrum-finding-superpowers-with-autism/id1737499562?i=1000651048705The Roles of Oxytocin and Vasopressin in the Autistic Phenotype https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-the-spectrum-finding-superpowers-with-autism/id1737499562?i=1000660031273(0:00) Intro; Speaker-Receiver explanation when conveying speech(3:55) Unpredicableness in socialness; black and white thinking and context-dependent and adaptive responses; Metabolic energy/resources; Oxytocin and Serotonin(7:10) Biology that gives us Autism gives us complications to socialness and relationships; Sex-differences and socialness(8:40) Criteria A is external, Criteria B is internal; Sensory-Processing(10:32) B.2 and B.3 implicates socialness(16:58) Direct social interactions(22:26) Autism versus social norms; Romantic relationships(26:51) Do Autistics outgrow Autism?(28:04) Parenting(31:30) Cohabitating(32:28) Wrap Up(32:45) Reviews/Ratings and contact infoLinks: hopp.bio/fromthespectrumX: https://twitter.com/rps47586Email: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Growing up with a mom struggling with severe mental illness, Karena Dawn learned early what it meant to carry heavy things in silence. That experience shaped so much of her life—including the dark years she rarely talked about. In this episode, she shares her journey from that painful silence to healing, forgiveness, and ultimately, purpose. We talk about how fitness became her lifeline and how she found her voice by telling the truth in her powerful memoir, The Big Silence. You may know Karena as the co-founder of Tone It Up, a wellness community that's inspired millions of women—but behind the fitness empire is a woman who's walked through deep grief, trauma, and recovery. She shares what it was like to care for her mom after a stroke, how she's working to break the stigma around mental illness, and why mental wellness is now at the heart of everything she does—including her work with The Big Silence Foundation and the board of NAMI. She opens up about how trauma can sneak into our health—especially during perimenopause—and the things that actually helped her feel like herself again. You'll also hear how she's now using her story to help others speak up and get the support they need. Her honesty is refreshing, and her heart for mental wellness is contagious. This one will move you, especially if you've ever carried pain quietly or felt like healing was out of reach. Karena's story reminds us that there's always a way forward—and it doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful. And before you go, I've got a new favorite to share: Mighty Maca Mango just dropped, and it's the zingy summer pick-me-up I've been loving lately.

Why is it that sometimes the things that are supposed to help us feel calm actually make us feel more anxious instead? In this mini-episode, Dr. Aimie explores why this happens, expanding on her conversation with Dr. Sue Carter from Episode 125. She answers therapist Sarah's question about why some people struggle with relaxation techniques and reveals the surprising science behind it. You'll hear more on: Why oxytocin is called "nature's fire extinguisher" and how it helps you heal How oxytocin and vasopressin work together (not against each other!) Why past difficult experiences can make your body think "quiet time" is dangerous How your brain's control center decides if you're safe or not Simple ways to feel safer in your body before trying relaxation techniques If you're a practitioner working with clients who struggle with calming techniques or if you've ever wondered why meditation or mindfulness makes you feel worse instead of better, this episode explains what's happening in the body and gives practical ways to work with it instead of against it. To hear the full episode and learn more about how stress hormones affect healing, head over to Episode 125: Why the Mind & Body Can't Heal Without Oxytocin with Dr. Sue Carter.

When's the last time you touched grass… before your phone? No really. Imagine waking up, resisting the urge to scroll, walking outside barefoot, and just… grounding. That's what today's episode is all about — unplugging from the madness and plugging into what's real. And man, this convo hit different.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sat down with Ryan Levesque, a 7-time Inc. 5000 CEO, 2-time #1 National Bestselling Author, and legit one of the smartest (and realest) entrepreneurs I know. He's the guy behind the wildly successful Ask Method — but lately, he's been asking deeper questions.Like…What if success isn't just scaling tech, but scaling truth?What if the best things in life can't be optimized or outsourced?What if real wealth is measured in moments, not metrics?Ryan's on a mission to live a radically real life. He left the digital rat race for a self-sustaining lifestyle — think chickens, crops, faith, and family. And in this convo, we explore his framework called “The Return to Real” — a philosophy (and lifestyle) that'll get you rethinking your entire hustle.We jammed on everything from purpose-driven business to farming wisdom to why technology is no longer a moat.

Many people spend years in therapy and still struggle to feel truly safe in relationships. But why is this? The answer lies in the body. You can understand your trauma, but still feel unsafe. Oxytocin helps turn that understanding into actual feelings of safety in your body. Known as nature's most powerful anti-inflammatory, oxytocin plays a vital role in regulating the nervous system, forming secure connections, and shifting the body out of survival mode. In this episode, Dr. Aimie is joined by world-renowned oxytocin expert Dr. Sue Carter to discuss how this hormone holds the key to healing trauma, creating genuine safety, and forming secure connections. Dr. Carter has studied oxytocin for over four decades and reveals why this hormone is essential for moving from survival to thriving. In this conversation you hear why traditional talk therapy alone often falls short, how early life experiences program our capacity for connection, and practical tools for naturally increasing oxytocin to create a felt sense of safety in your body. You'll learn more about: How early attachment experiences shape your nervous system and relationships The difference between vasopressin and oxytocin in the stress response How trauma and chronic stress disrupt your ability to feel safe, even in loving relationships Why oxytocin is nature's “fire extinguisher” for inflammation and chronic illness Practical tools to support healing and regulate your nervous system And more! Whether you're a practitioner or someone navigating your own healing journey, this episode offers evidence-based insights into how your body creates its own pharmacy of healing hormones and why safety in relationships is the biological foundation for all healing   Helpful Links Related To This Episode: Want to know more about the Safe and Sound Protocol mentioned in the episode?
