Oxytocin: The Calming Hormone of Health, with Kerstin Uvnäs Moberg

In the 50th episode of ‘Speak From the Body’, I’m speaking with Kerstin Uvnäs Moberg about her pioneering research on oxytocin. She shares how the research has progressed, so what was originally thought of as a hormone of motherhood (birth and breastfeeding), is now understood to be a crucial part of growth and healing for everyone, men and women, young and old. Oxytocin is released with touch and pleasure and inhibited by stress, and we talk about the implications of this in Lockdown.
