The Science of Not Giving A Crap (after menopause)
NOW it all makes sense - and itās 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,Ā 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.ā And according to the Journal of Endocrinology, āOxytocin 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.ā Ā Scientific references discussed: https://joe.bioscientifica.com/view/journals/joe/262/1/JOE-23-0396.xml Ā https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/oxytocin-the-love-hormone Thank you for joining me today!
