The Love Hormone Plays a Key Role in Stress Reduction

Did you know that oxytocin and cortisol are constantly at war in your body? While oxytocin is often called the "love hormone", it’s also a key player in stress reduction, longevity, and even bone health. But when stress is high and cortisol is chronically elevated, oxytocin levels drop—and that can lead to burnout, muscle loss, and even osteoporosis.

In this episode with Dr. Anna Cabeca, we dive deep into how to recognize low oxytocin levels and what you can do to naturally boost it. From exercise and social connection to mindset shifts and lifestyle habits, you’ll learn how to balance your hormones for better health, energy, and resilience.

Watch the full episode:

What you’ll learn:
✔️ Signs of low oxytocin and what it means for your health
✔️ How chronic stress and cortisol suppress oxytocin production
✔️ The surprising impact of oxytocin on bone, muscle, and longevity
✔️ Simple daily habits to increase oxytocin naturally
