OXYTOCIN AND ITS LITTLE KNOWN BENEFITS

February 27, 2020

Oxytocin, the “cuddle hormone” which we discussed in the last blog (click here to read), has for years been relegated only to the OBGYN’s office for its relationship to childbirth and breastfeeding. Ignored by doctors and researchers alike for years, its other amazing abilities have only recently been studied, and to date there is still no medical description of a deficiency in oxytocin.

Oxytocin also plays a role in mood stability, aiding in the treatment of schizophrenia, lowering blood pressure in women since it is a vasodilator, increasing milk supply in lactating women, mental alertness, neuroplasticity of the brain, appetite reduction, inducing labor, pain control during labor, and stopping hemorrhaging after delivery.

But too often we find ourselves lamenting with the Righteous Brothers of passion gone awry or worse, we just don’t care anymore. If your loss of passion is related to sex drive, desire, or ability, then keep reading.

HOLISTIC LIFESTYLE: TIPS TO HELP YOU MAKE THE CHANGE (Part 2)

January 06, 2020

In our last blog we explored the idea that four keys areas bring health and a sense of well being to our lives: nutrition, exercise, emotional stability, and spiritual nurturing. Just as four equally balanced legs on a stool provide a sturdy foundation for sitting, these four areas are key to the foundation of our well being throughout our lives.
