About this episode
In this episode, I explore oxytocin, the hormone and neuropeptide at the center of bonding, attachment, stress regulation, and healing. ? ? Drawing from Dr. Sue Carter’s groundbreaking research on oxytocin and the biology of love, modern neuroscience, and Scripture, this conversation reveals how connection is not optional - we were designed FOR it. You’ll learn how oxytocin shapes the nervous system, buffers stress, and even influences common lab patterns - and why healing was never meant to happen in isolation.
