The Chemical of Love: Oxytocin
Manage episode 376782616 series 3411346
Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! The science behind falling in love has long been studied by scientists and philosophers worldwide. Questions surrounding what exactly attracts you to that special someone and why people remain together after the initial excitement dies down, have been at the centre of debate for centuries. It is sometimes referred to as the “love hormone,” because levels of oxytocin increase during hugging and orgasm. It may also have benefits as a treatment for a number of conditions, including depression, anxiety, and intestinal problems. Let's talk about it!
Dr. Brendan McCarthy founded Protea Medical Center in 2002. While he’s been the chief medical officer, Protea has grown and evolved into a dynamic medical center serving the Valley and Central Arizona. A nationally recognized as an expert in hormone replacement therapy, Dr McCarthy s the only instructor in the nation who teaches BioHRT on live patients. Physicians travel to Arizona to take his course and integrate it into their own practices. Besides hormone replacement therapy, Dr. McCarthy has spoken nationally and locally before physicians on topics such as weight loss, infertility, nutritional therapy and more.
