If you wake up when it's still dark, you know how overwhelming it can be to turn on the light. Your eyes may even hurt at first. If you've had this experience, you can understand one of the problems that had to be solved when radar was developed.Basically, radar is made up of two parts. The transmitter sends out a powerful beam of radar waves. But the other part of the radar system is a very sensitive receiver that cannot stand the powerful outgoing signal. One of the major technical problems to be overcome in developing modern radar involved sending out this powerful signal without overwhelming the sensitive receiver. What scientists finally developed was a fast switch that turns the sensitive receiver off every time a radar pulse is sent out.Bats, who have their own sonic radar, had this problem solved from the beginning. They have muscles in their ears that are the receivers for the echoes. These muscles close the ears for split seconds when the bats are sending out their high pitched signals.Without this feature, the bat's navigational system would be useless. How could a bat figure out that it needed this ability and then decide to grow the muscles and related tissue to do the job? When one decides to say that creatures, instead of the Creator, have made themselves, one can end up with some very silly conclusions!Matthew 6:27-29"Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."Prayer: Dear Father; You have made all things well and with the good of the creation in mind. Help me to remember this when I tend to think of Your Word as separated from the realities of everyday life, thereby missing out on so many of the blessings You have prepared for me. In Jesus' Name.

Should women think differently about training and weightlifting when they're pregnant and post-partum? In this episode, Olympian Shannon Rowbury and her physical therapist Jessica Dorrington explain the specific training needs of pregnant and post-partum women, including: Exercise that's advised vs. not recommended How to modify training as pregnancy evolves The role of strength training during pregnancy Post-partum recovery strategies How to prepare for perimenopause through training Their new book, Strong as a Mother, is also available to preorder! Thank you MOBO Board! Invented by renowned physical therapist Jay Dicharry, MOBO helps you stabilize your stance with an innovative rocker board that's set up on two fins. The design effectively forces you to drive your big toe into the board to improve your stability. I was pretty arrogant going into my first session on the MOBO Board. How hard can it be to balance, right? Well, I was humbled pretty quickly! Even if you're a good runner, better balance, stability, and proprioception is going to help you have a more powerful stride and prevent more running injuries. You'll learn how to improve the efficiency of the kinetic chain from your hip to your big toe. Because as Jay likes to say, it's not just how strong you are, but how well you use that strength. I was recently at a weekend physical therapy workshop (lol I was the only running coach) and learned how important (and rare) this simple movement is.

Shimon Sakaguchi shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his identification of regulatory T cells that suppress autoimmune responses. His work laid the foundation for RegCell, a company he co-founded to develop cell therapies that provide targeted treatments for autoimmune disease without compromising healthy immune function. RegCell epigenetically reprograms patient T cells into regulatory T cells. We spoke to Michael McCullar, CEO of RegCell, about the role of dysfunctional Tregs in autoimmune diseases, the firm's use of epigenetically modified regulatory T cells to treat these conditions, and how this approach can selectively suppress harmful immune responses without causing broad immunosuppression.

If you're trying to move better, train smarter, and stop wasting time on things that don't matter, this one's for you.Sit back and enjoy.-Red Dot Fitness Train Online: http://rdftrainonline.com/FFA Program: https://reddotfitness.net/fitforactionRed Dot Fitness Training Programs:rdfprograms.comOnline Membership (Full Access To All Programs & Virtual Coaching):https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-membershipVirtual Coaching:https://www.reddotfitness.net/virtual-coachingSelf-Guided Programs:https://www.reddotfitness.net/Self-Guided-Programs1(NEW) Iron Sights Podcast Website:ironsightspodcasts.comTimestamps:00:00 Intro02:39 Flexibility Struggles05:34 Flexibility vs Mobility07:32 Nervous System Role09:22 Rehab & Post-Surgery11:02 Improving Mobility18:33 Mobility Tools23:08 Strength vs Mobility29:58 Range of Motion33:52 Hyperflexibility Issues40:31 Fascia & Mobility49:04 Making Mobility Stick54:32 Training SessionsConnect With Us:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/
What if one of the most confusing parts of strength training… is also one of the simplest? In Episode 3 of The Research Debrief, our hosts break down a recent high-impact study that challenges one of the most persistent beliefs in fitness: that lifting heavier weights leads to greater muscle growth. Drawing from research published in The Journal of Physiology by scientists at McMaster University, this episode explores what actually drives muscle hypertrophy — and why genetics, not load selection, plays a much larger role than the industry has long suggested. This episode explores: -Why “heavy vs. light” training doesn't determine muscle growth -What the research actually says about reps, load and training to failure -Why genetics drive hypertrophy more than programming tweaks -How perceived complexity keeps people out of the weight room -Why clubs need to stop marketing offerings as “toning” vs. “muscle building” -What this means for coaching, programming and strength training messaging If you operate, lead or work in a health club, this episode will challenge how you think about strength training — and how you communicate its value to members.
After spending an intensive six-day immersion with the master of personal development, Tony Robbins, Jeannette shares the foundational strategies for shifting your mindset and scaling your business. She dives into the "Triad" of emotional influence—Physiology, Focus, and Language—and explores how to effectively audit your life by identifying what's missing and what's holding you back. From the five universal "Givens" of life to the six core human needs that drive every decision, this incredible session provides a high-level roadmap to move you from living by chance to living by design. You'll Learn Why: Self-auditing is the vital first step toward personal growth, requiring an honest assessment of what is great in your life versus what is missing. Understanding the six human needs—certainty, uncertainty, significance, connection, growth, and contribution—is key to recognising the subconscious drivers behind your behaviours. Accepting the five "Givens" of life, such as the fact that everything ends and life isn't always fair, builds the resilience needed to handle setbacks. Mastering the "Triad" (Physiology, Focus, and Language) allows you to instantly shift your emotional state and change how you interpret life events. Redefining your "Primary Question" can move you from a state of constant self-judgment to a mindset focused on empowerment and contribution. This episode is living proof that no matter where you're starting from — or what life throws at you — it's never too late to be brave, bold, and unlock your inner brilliant.

Cold plunges are everywhere, and the way people talk about them, you'd think they're a miracle cure for your brain, body, and soul. But in an age of algorithm-fueled evangelism, when a ritual becomes this ubiquitous and loud, we have to ask: how much of the buzz is backed by science… and how much is just marketing? In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of cold exposure: what's real, what's overstated, and why this "discomfort" has become a billion-dollar industry. We discuss: Why cold plunges went viral, and how wellness movements often devolve into identity-driven cultures The difference between cold exposure itself and the monetized "cold plunge movement" What constitutes a "cult" (and how pseudoscience forms around partial truths) The real physiological cold shock response Why the mental "high" after a plunge doesn't automatically equal long-term brain benefit The cardiovascular risks that rarely get discussed, especially for people with underlying heart disease What the research suggests about soreness, pain reduction, and muscle growth (including why cold immersion can blunt hypertrophy) The real story behind brown fat Who should avoid cold plunges altogether (asthma, arrhythmias, coronary disease, vascular conditions) Joining us for this conversation is investigative journalist and bestselling author Scott Carney (What Doesn't Kill Us, The Wedge), who has spent years inside the cold exposure world, first as a skeptic, then as a believer, and eventually as a critic of the culture that formed around it. His work reveals what happens when discomfort becomes identity, and when unfounded "social media science" outruns real science.

When patients feel good, things get weird.John asked a great question in the AP group: after a holiday break, patients came back happy, pain-free, and wanting to stretch out visits. Not because they were disengaging, but because they were doing well.Which is harder to handle than pain.Here's the problem beneath the problem:Feeling good reinforces Pain logic.Pain logic says: “If I feel fine, I don't need care.”We break the situation down into five ideas:• Beliefs drive behaviour“I've felt fine” isn't a statement, it's a worldview. Pain or early Prevention logic. Totally consistent with their experience.• Experience beats explanationPeople trust what they feel more than what we tell them. Feeling good is persuasive. Lectures about prevention aren't.• Holidays lieDifferent stress. Lower demand. No deadlines. Physiology behaves. The wobble shows up when normal life returns.• Testing changes the frameProgress exams are a better story: function before symptoms. Data before opinion. It shifts the goal from “pain gone” to “everything working.”• Agree to experimentIf they want to push spacing out, make it a trial: tag-testing, clear checkpoints, shared decision-making. Collaboration instead of drift.The bigger idea:Reactivations and spacing aren't clinical problems, they're belief problems. If you understand the belief, you don't have to push, sell, or convince.

What if your purpose isn't something you need to find, but something you need to remember? In this wide-ranging, eye-opening episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Simon Sinek reveals why fulfillment, optimism, and meaning don't come from chasing success, titles, or external validation, but from looking inward. As technology and AI reshape work, relationships, and identity, Simon explains why understanding your WHY is more important than ever, and how leaning into timeless human skills can help you thrive in a rapidly changing world. Simon goes far beyond leadership theory and gets deeply human. He breaks down: - Why who you are and what you're meant to do may already be inside you, shaped by your values, DNA, and life journey - How to think about identity beyond job titles and surface-level roles - Why your passions, frustrations, and questions about the world are clues to your purpose - How discovering your personal WHY leads to a more resilient, meaningful, and fulfilling life - Why purpose matters more than ever in the age of AI (and why trying to “outcompete” technology is the wrong goal) - Why we're expecting more meaning from work than any generation before us - Why Simon is a perpetual optimist and truly believes anyone can find fulfillment in whatever work they do - Real, science-backed benefits of a positive mindset - Why elite athletes and longevity-obsessed people may actually end up with shorter lifespans - Why conflict is unavoidable, but peaceful resolution is always possible - Responsibilities of leaders (and why leadership is about service, not status) - Key differences in how men and women tend to lead (and why both styles matter) - Why you sometimes have to fail before you can succeed - How to know when it's time to move on from a work relationship that no longer serves you And perhaps most hopeful of all: Why Simon finds real optimism in young people choosing connection over status, and why the future belongs not to the most productive, but to the most human. If you're questioning your career, your purpose, your leadership style, or simply how to live well in an uncertain world, this conversation will challenge how you think, and might just change how you live!

Are posterior tooth contacts really harmless? Could group function and non-working side interferences be driving muscular TMD, headaches, and facial pain? And can digital occlusal data change how we approach bite adjustment? Dr. Jeremy Bliss joins the podcast to tackle one of the most controversial topics in dentistry: Selective Grinding/Equilibration for TMD but specifically Disclusion Time Reduction (DTR). With a strong focus on restorative technology, lasers, and T-Scan analysis, Jeremy brings a practical and experience-driven perspective to occlusion and bite therapy. This episode breaks DTR down from the very beginning—what it is, how it differs from traditional equilibration, and why reducing posterior tooth contact during excursive movements may help certain susceptible patients. The conversation also explores canine guidance vs group function, macro vs micro occlusion, and where DTR fits within evidence-based dentistry when conservative care has failed. https://youtu.be/TMa11nh7VIU Watch PDP255 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Don't buy advanced occlusal or motion-tracking tech unless your type of dentistry, training, lab support, and local backup can fully use the data—otherwise it's just a Ferrari stuck in traffic. Key Takeaways: Disclusion Time Reduction (DTR) & T-Scan T-Scan: Provides objective data on tooth contact timing and force—impossible to see with the eye or articulating paper. EMG: Tracks temporalis and masseter activity to show how muscles respond to occlusion. Goal of DTR: Reduce posterior tooth contact during excursions, shifting contact to canines to relax muscles. Patient Selection: Best for symptomatic muscular TMD; requires sufficient canine/incisal overlap. Clinical Benefits: Reduces headaches, migraines, muscle tension, parafunctional damage, and progressive tooth wear. Procedure: Conservative enamel adjustments (0.5–0.75 mm), guided by T-Scan; posterior teeth should disclude in

The science is finally catching up to what clinicians have long known: more fluids aren't always the answer to septic shock. In this episode, host Sarah Lorenzini and Jaclyn Bond MSN-LM, MBA-HM explain what the ANDROMEDA-SHOCK 2 trial reveals about physiology-guided sepsis resuscitation and why fixed-volume fluid strategies can lead to avoidable harm.They break down how dynamic fluid responsiveness testing helps teams stop guessing, and how tools like FloPatch support real-time assessment of carotid flow time and stroke volume. You'll leave with a clearer idea of when to give fluids, when to stop, and how to justify the decision.Topics discussed in this episode:The purpose and key findings of the ANDROMEDA-SHOCK 2 studyWhy dynamic measures of fluid responsiveness matter more than static vitalsWhat recent meta-analysis data shows about physiology-guided fluid strategiesCarotid flow time: what it is, how it's measured, and how it guides decisionsHemodynamic assessment and bedside limitationsHow FloPatch supports real-time assessment so you can make individualized fluid decisionsSEP-1 2026 guideline updates and why it's better for patientsHow to apply these principles to your workflow Website: www.flosonicsmedical.com See FloPatch in action: https://hubs.ly/Q03-68Hg0Mentioned in this episode:CONNECT

Would you like to stay healthy until you're 100? For most of us, the answer is, of course, yes. But why do some people live longer, and is it achievable? In this episode, best-selling author and longevity expert Dan Buettner, explores what decades of studying the people who live the longest reveal about health and lifespan. Instead of chasing hacks, the science suggests that a longer life is shaped by everyday food, social habits, and the places people live. We'll look at practical habits seen across the world's blue zones, rare global hotspots where celebrating your 100th birthday is common. Rather than relying on willpower, Dan explains why changing your routine and environment may be easier and more effective. By the end of the episode, you'll have some simple tips to help you start your day like you live in a Blue Zone - and increase your chances of living healthily to 100.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I'm joined by my good friend Dr. Eric Trexler, exercise scientist, educator, and Director of Education at Stronger by Science, for a wide-ranging, no-BS conversation on what physiology actually looks like in the real world.We dig into beetroot juice, nitric oxide, and “pump” supplements, why the blood-flow story is usually oversold, and why neuromuscular function and calcium handling may matter far more than chasing a swollen muscle. We also talk about why most supplement mechanisms sound great on paper… and quietly fall apart once you look at healthy humans who already function pretty well.From there, the conversation expands into human variability, elite athletic outliers, and why normal distributions actually guarantee that “freaks” exist — whether people are comfortable admitting it or not. We also unpack NEAT, energy expenditure, and why exercise doesn't scale linearly for fat loss, including how the body aggressively manages its energy budget when stress or activity gets too high.If you care about performance, body composition, or just understanding how the human system really works, this episode will recalibrate a lot of assumptions.Sponsors:LMNT: http://drinklmnt.com/mikenelson (automatically applied at checkout)Fitness Insider Newsletter: https://miketnelson.com/Shiftwave: https://shiftwave.co/drmiketnelsonEpisode Chapters:05:01 Diving into Beet Root and Nitrate Research05:58 Mechanisms and Effects of Nitrate Supplements10:14 Challenges and Insights in Supplement Research34:19 Elite Athletes and Physiological Variability43:16 Debating the Value of Outliers in Research44:38 The Importance of Studying Rare Genetic Conditions45:46 Challenges in Grant Writing for Rare Conditions47:39 Blood Flow and Muscle Performance49:14 The Science Behind Muscle Pumps and Hypertrophy56:09 Energy Expenditure and Physical Activity58:02 The Non-Linear Relationship Between Activity and Energy Intake01:01:28 Exercise, Appetite, and Weight Management01:14:19 Balancing Cardio and Strength Training for Optimal Health01:21:14 Closing Remarks and Resources Episodes You Might Enjoy:Episode 352: Dr. Dan Pardi on Stem Cells, Supplements, and the Future of Health with QualiaYouTube: https://youtu.be/8EZcHy_7wK8?si=aNGzT-abP9xbc6yUEpisode 343: Fueling the Corporate Athlete: Stress, Supplements & Performance with Dan HunterYouTube: https://youtu.be/0ek4XSs62RQ?si=czR_7q96jJDqXzcFConnect with Eric:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trexlerfitnessGet In Touch with Dr Mike:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmiketnelson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn1aTbQqHglfNrENPm0GTpgEmail: https://miketnelson.com/contact-us/

Today with us on the Incite Change Podcast, Coach Mauro sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Ann Wanek. Dr. Wanek is a physician with decades of experience in both conventional surgery and integrative health. Over the course of her medical career, she transitioned from traditional clinical practice to a more holistic, root-cause approach to wellness, driven by a deep interest in how the human body heals and sustains itself at the cellular level. The conversation delves into the crucial role of cellular hydration and mineral balance, clarifying why simply drinking more water is often insufficient. Dr. Wanek explains how minerals function as biological facilitators, supporting energy production, cellular communication, and resilience, and how long-term deficiencies and poor quality contribute to chronic conditions. Through her Foundational Medicine perspective, Dr. Wanek emphasizes working with the body rather than overriding it. She encourages small, consistent changes that restore the conditions the body needs to function as designed, empowering individuals to better understand and support their own health.

Send us a textDeep dive into how ketogenic diets and carbohydrate intake effect exercise performance, and misconceptions in sports nutrition.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Insulin as a powerful metabolic hormone: regulates nutrient storage across tissues, overriding others like glucagon to promote fat and glucose storage during abundance.Glucagon & GLP-1 roles in metabolism: Glucagon mobilizes liver glucose during scarcity; GLP-1, amplified in drugs like Ozempic, suppresses hunger but originated as a diabetes treatment.Transition to ketosis in fasting or low-carb diets: Low insulin enables fat breakdown into ketones for brain fuel, allowing survival for weeks without food, with adaptation taking about four weeks.Hypoglycemia vs. glycogen depletion: Low blood sugar causes fatigue and irritability due to brain energy deficit, while muscle glycogen levels do not directly limit performance.Ketogenic diets & exercise performance: Studies show no difference in endurance after adaptation, with some athletes performing better on low-carb due to enhanced fat oxidation.High-carb diets in athletes: In one study, about 30% developed prediabetes-like fasting glucose elevations, linked to total carb intake, despite leanness and fitness.Misconceptions in sports nutrition: Guidelines recommend 60-90g carbs/hour, but evidence shows 10g suffices to maintain blood sugar and performance, avoiding insulin spikes that impair fat use.Individual variability in diet response: Athletes vary in optimal fuel sources; it's possible to by athletic and lean but also metabolically unhealthy.PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS:For workouts over ~60 minutes, consume ~10g carbs per hour (e.g., a third of a banana) to maintain blood sugar and prevent fatigue, regardless of overall diet.Allow at least four weeks for adaptation when trying a ketogenic diet, enabling the body to fully transition to the ketogenic state.Monitor personal responses to carb intake, as high levels can elevate fasting glucose even in fit individuals; consider lower-carb options if experiencing metabolic issues.Prioritize metabolic flexibility through varied diets or fasting periods to improve energy stability, but consult resources for proper formulation to support health.ABOUT THE GUEST: Andrew Koutnik, PhD earned a PhD in biomedical sciences with a focus on exercise physiology and metabolic health, informed by his personal diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in childhoodSupport the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Watch the FULL podcast here: https://youtu.be/ZXLWY5HcPXEIn this conversation, I sit down with Andy Galpin to talk about sleep, and why so many of us are still struggling with it despite doing “all the right things”.We unpack why sleep is getting worse globally, even as awareness and spending on sleep continue to rise. Andy explains why focusing on sleep duration alone misses the bigger picture, and why exhaustion is not the same as being physiologically ready for sleep. We also explore why waking up around 2–3am is so common, and how stress, heart rate, and nervous system regulation before bed play a bigger role than most people realise.***This episode is sponsored by: NOWATCH: Health tracking reimaginedKnow your body, trust yourself.15% off with code LWBW15 at nowatch.com***Sign up to Sarah's Compassionate Cure newsletter: Science Simplified, Health Humanised.

In this episode, Dr. Karen Esser Professor and Chair of the Department of Physiology and Aging at the University of Florida joins the crew to break down one of the most overlooked performance variables in human physiology: circadian timing. After a career spent studying muscle adaptation, Dr. Esser shifted her research toward the molecular clocks inside our tissues, uncovering how every cell in the body keeps its own time. She explains how these clocks govern fuel storage, protein repair, metabolic readiness, and ultimately the way muscle responds to training. The team digs into what these clocks do, how they synchronize, and why misalignment affects everything from daily performance to long-term health. The conversation dives deep into time-of-day effects on strength, endurance, and adaptation. Dr. Esser highlights that humans are consistently stronger and more explosive in the afternoon, a pattern reflected in Olympic records and decades of performance data. But her lab's animal research reveals something game changing: consistent morning training can shift the internal clock system, allowing morning athletes to achieve equal or even better adaptations after several weeks, despite using lower absolute training loads. She also explains how travel, jet lag, and mistimed eating disrupt organ specific clocks, reducing performance and creating metabolic consequences similar to pre-diabetes. The crew tests these ideas against real world training habits, coaching experience, and what happens when athletes switch from evening to early morning training. Finally, Dr. Esser unpacks the broader health implications of circadian disruption from increased risk of metabolic disease and cardiovascular dysfunction to higher rates of depression and cancer in chronically misaligned shift workers. She outlines simple, actionable strategies: anchor your sleep and training times, keep eating within a roughly 10 hour window, avoid late night calories, and arrive early when competing across time zones. The conversation closes with practical takeaways for athletes, coaches, and everyday lifters who want to maximize adaptation, improve metabolic health, and align their biology with the rhythms built into every cell.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared takes on a fear-based narrative that has been circulating widely in the natural health space—claims that supplements are “toxic,” “fake,” or made from alarming industrial sources. Using vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 as the focal point, Jared breaks down where tiny fragments of truth have been exaggerated into misleading conclusions, and why that kind of half-truth can be more dangerous than an outright lie. If you've ever felt confused or alarmed by supplement claims on social media, this episode will help you develop a more grounded, critical framework—one rooted in physiology, context, and practical application rather than ideology or outrage.Products:Vital D3/K2 High PotencyVital D3/K2Buy D-Mannose Powder and get CranActin FREE ($20 value) - Vitality Radio POW!

This Best of episode revisits one of our most meaningful conversations with Ann Linda Baldwin, PhD, a scientist, Reiki Master, and pioneer in mind-body research. Ann's work offers a clear explanation of how Reiki supports physiological balance, emotional wellbeing, and heart-centered awareness. Ann is a Professor Emerita of Physiology at the University of Arizona and Director of Mind-Body-Science. She holds advanced degrees in Physics and Physiology, is a HeartMath certified trainer, TRE provider, Bio-Well level 2 certified, and an Equine Assisted Learning practitioner. With over 125 scientific publications and decades of federal research funding, she bridges Reiki energy healing with measurable scientific outcomes. Ann's book, The Vagus Nerve in Therapeutic Practice, is a practical guide for understanding how the vagus nerve influences stress, resilience, and mind-body function. She explains how practices like Reiki, breathwork, and heart coherence naturally support vagal regulation. Her work helps practitioners understand why Reiki often brings deep calm, improved emotional clarity, and a sense of connection. Episode Highlights • How Reiki affects the vagus nerve and the stress response • Scientific markers of relaxation and heart coherence • The relationship between energy healing and emotional regulation • How Ann measures the biofield through her research • Reiki with animals and equine-assisted healing Ann's perspective gives practitioners language that blends science with spirituality. Her research helps explain the experiences people notice in Reiki sessions, making this a foundational conversation for anyone wanting deeper insight into how Reiki works.

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.
